Now if you are still on the fence about coming here due to some people questioning the durability of MA's fish with them getting sick" within a day or two after bringing home" or that "Selling sick fish is unacceptable". Let me ease your mind. Yes, fish do get sick sometimes. That is always unfortunate. It is also sometimes out of a LFS's control at times. Pathogens, parasites and protozoa are always present in aquaculture. Symptoms may remain dormant or negligible and cannot be detected from a glance. Hence it is why we in the hobby quarantine new fish, not just for diseases we can see but also those we cannot. However sickness can sometimes not be preventable. Something you CAN prevent is a massacre of your whole tank by simply QUARANTINING YOUR FISH. If you allow time to do its thing you will most definitely know whether or not any action needs to be taken. Simply dumping new fish into established tanks just means " I dont care about my fish", " If they die its not my fault since I didnt know they were sick". Now alot of people in this hobby are beginners and thats great! Just learn to ask for help. If help is coming from a person who "pretended he didn't understand what I was saying", GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. There's this pretty neat place call the internet. Oh? you're on it now? WOW! SEE look at that! Not so Hard right? BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!! :) All in all, sorry for the rant. It is just frustrating to see such a good and hard working establishment come under fire from people who dont do their research and go "oh no, the consequences of my actions" when they screw up. K Bye ;)

From the owner: Many people believe that once a fish tank is up and running, all they have to do is feed their new…read morepets. This is not accurate. Fish tanks need to be cleaned often, water pH and ammonia levels need to be monitored, and gravel should be vacuumed at regular intervals. There is a significant amount of work involved in maintaining a healthy aquarium, and that is what I specialize in. I will install tanks with heaters, filters, air pumps, lights, canopies, and protein skimmers to accommodate all kinds of fish. In addition to fish tank installation and expert fish care, I also install and maintain outdoor koi ponds, decorative outdoor ponds, and fountains and have other pet products available as needed.

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!!

First of all the place smells like rotten water , aside from having a very limited variety of cichlids they don't look that great , there was this one specific tank that all the fish were swimming strangely and one other tank had a sign that said check filter ( maybe that explains in part why the place smelled bad ) because the tanks are not properly maintained. But why put a sign up ? Just service the filter so the fish can live in proper water conditions . And last but not least , all the questions we asked were answered with : but it's not guaranteed . Seriously I think I know more about African Cichlids than the person working there. We didn't buy any fish since I don't think the water conditions and fish health were good , and in all honesty I wouldn't recommend buying live anything from this place . It's just a big NO NO !!
