I had explained that I lost all my fish and all I got was a nasty answer that said well it happens . I honestly expected a bit more educational information from a local store , specially since I would be buying most of my fish fish there like I did the first time . In all honesty I would suggest this place ONLY if you need supplies , however if you need to be educated about fish and or need help with a concern , I would definitely go elsewhere . It's like all they wanna do is sell you stuff .. instead of education you . Be careful !!

It's a work of art, and now the most beautiful piece of furniture in my home! My cichlids were previously in a 20 gal and obviously deserved an upgrade to a 55gal tank. Chris consulted with me to build a custom table that houses the new 55 gal on top, with the 20 gal tank and a storage cabinet on the bottom. He even went so far as to take note of the other furniture in my room, and incorporate similar elements to match it perfectly, all the way down to the stain. My fish are SO happy in their new home that they immediately bred and I now have 8 fry living their best life too!

They definitely know their fish - from breeds to care to what and how much to get to decorate your tank. Expert advice on what type of fish may suit your needs and will actually go out of their way to explain why. They actually care that you will take good care of these little guys. For a reasonable fee, you can have them come to your home to set your entire tank up. This was the TOPPER that made me give them their well deserved 5 stars. The owner actually babysat my little fish. Yes he did. Three years ago we bought our first house in Levittown and I didn't know what to do with my 20 gallon tank and five little fish who at that point had lived past a year. He said he would actually keep our fish in a separate tank until we set up the tank in our house. When we went back to pick them up a few days later, there they were, swimming around happily. And - NO CHARGE for the babysitting. Well, unfortunately, our tank is now empty but one day we will set it up again and I will be back to Total Aquariums. Oh, if you do go there, check out the live Alligators in the front of the store. Great for the kids!!
