Monster Aquarium Inc - Shop in Queens New York

My favorite place! John the owner excellent service. A lot patience from our a million questions! We go to a lot aquarium place and I like to shop here because those care with the fish it is healthy fish.Highly recommended!

EDIT: They replied to my original review with context so I’m changing it! I loved this location. I found it via recommendations on places to stop at while in Main St, and this one was heavily recommended, so me and my partner tried it out! The first thing I noticed is that it’s a very hole-in-the-wall gem kind of spot. This place is not only very big, but they have an unbelievable variety of fish! There’s probably about 3-4 rooms wall-to-wall with all kinds of exotic fishes, and you wouldn’t expect it to be that large from the outside! A lot of fish I never even thought I would see for sale in my area. Some are at really good prices too! Others not so much, but they’re rare fish, so I won’t judge the prices at all. They also sell a ton of fish supplies and food here, so if you buy one I’m sure their staff would be able to give you some good recommendations on what to get for your fish! My only downside to the place is that it’s in a really strange location. You have to walk alongside the side of the neighboring mall’s block, with tons of trash on the walk down. You also have to pass this very scary looking house, that I’d hope gets renovated soon to help the neighborhood out. It’s at the very end of the street, and I honestly had almost given up hope we would even find it until we made it to the end and found the entrance. I still adore their selections of fish, though. Frogs were at such cheap prices, and I even got to see axolotls for the first time! They were very cutely adjusting to their climates in little containers. With the amount of fish tanks in the store, it must require a lot of hard work to upkeep with staff on all of them. I think they do put in a lot of effort to keep the tanks healthy & clean, even when there may be the occasional straggler fish who looks a bit sickly. It happens. Overall, I found this store to be way better than any other fish store I’ve had in my area before. I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the area and I’d recommend others should too! This store definitely deserves the support, there isn’t a lot like them left!

They had great customer service. Lady was very nice and helpful. Great selection of rare fish. I highly recommend this place.

got my pacman frog here at a reasonable price about half a year ago and he has grown so much! He came at 1 inch and is now nearing a 3 in diameter. He has very healthy genetics and a healthy appetite. I'd recommend this place for pacman frogs over petco or other untrustworthy breeders. They also sell live earthworms which is a nutritious, easy to digest, smell-free and easy to store live feed I'd recommend as a staple. (just have to poke some holes in the container they come with and leave in the fridge)

I honestly don’t know why this store have low reviews. The store has everything you need for this hobby, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Just ask a staff if you can’t find the one you’re looking for and they will show it to you right away. If unfortunately they get busy, use your common sense and wait for your turn! This is America we don’t spoon feed here. I am new to aquascaping and this store have everything you need to start. Here is the photo of the stuff I bought in the store (excluding the tank).
