Reviews of Aqua Market (Fish Shop)

Christopher Snider

Great selection, very clean store, and helpful owner. For what it’s worth at this point in time, the store is loaded with plant stock when other bigger name stores in Edmonton are completely out (tank grown and the 1-2 Grow! cups from Tropica) . Plants seem comparably priced to other stores. Also picked up some super red cherry shrimp and was pleasantly surprised that the owner picked out some females with eggs for me! Thanks!!

Kimberly Elizabeth

Amazing selection of healthy beautiful fish. And the customer service can't be beat. Definitely my go to shop for all my fishy needs.

I just happened to stumble upon this fish store while having some work done to my car. This store is a little gem nestled in an industrial part of Edmonton South. It’s like a little haven here with all the different exotic fish, frogs and reptiles. The staff was also very helpful and knowledgeable! If your interested in starting an aquarium, I suggest you visit Aqua Market.!

Lots of beautiful fish and a variety of items. They also carry the serpa food.

Kyana Joy

Since this store has opened they have always put so much effort into bringing tons of different species of quality fish in. I have always had no problems with diseases, infections, etc. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for unique fish.

Andrew Smith

Rat Prices a little high but great service

Great little storefront! Has a pretty decent selection of fish, plants and supplies and let us know they're able to order in almost anything we may want. We bought a bunch of guppies and they are all happy and healthy and acclimating well. Very friendly staff! Fish room is in the back of the store so it's bigger than it looks. Also, if you have a low vehicle, be careful in the parking lot as it's quite steep.

Jonathan Mui

Extremely friendly staff with decades of expertise. They have a selection of very high quality fish and plants, all at very reasonable prices. There are species of fish here I've never seen at other places.I highly recommend this place to anyone from beginners getting into the hobby to veterans with years of experience.

Oscar Strelkov

I have been to Aqua Market twice. I bought a number of Ember tetras in April, and honey gouramis, pepper corys and neon tetras in August. All fish have been extremely healthy, and were eating within hours. I consider their stock to be excellent. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place!

Basil V

Customer service was fantastic, and the prices were very fair. Great selection of fish and plants as well!

Hello_Everything

Fantastic place some of the healthiest fish I've seen with the most colour for great prices.

Corry Bruce

Worth the trip across the city. Great people and large selection of fish.

Liam and Dad

Huge selection, and great advice! Had a hard time leaving! Keep up the great work!

Farid

I have so many amazing things to to say about this fish store. A lot of the fish are locally bred and price like they are wholesale. You wouldn't believe it, they had celestial pearl danios (galaxy rasboras) that were coming right up to the glass, FULL round bellies and they are trained to eat flakes. They have the most amazing guppies and bettas too. Tanks are individually filtered as well. Show-grade bettas and guppies for 70% the cost of what you would find at any other store (both in Edmonton and Calgary). It's a locally owned store by a real hobbyist, and they are able to price at near-wholesale. I don't know how they do what they do at their price points- but I've got nothing but amazing things to say about this LFS. Will be there again soon!

Calista Diesel

We went in here tonight for the first time, and were so pleasantly surprised. Amazingly cared for critters, and owner and employee were absolutely knowledgeable and super friendly. We've absolutely found our go to place, no matter the travel. Thank you! And we'll be back, forever.

LucaAlfredo

Awesome store, great prices, lots of typically uncommon fish.

Simone Gingras

Great store with all your aquarium hobby needs, and friendly knowledgeable staff! They have a nice variety of freshwater fish, regular and fancy betta fish(including samurai, alien, and galaxy when I was there last), aquatic plants, shrimp, reptiles, and amphibians. They even had some fish that were new to me and that’s a pleasant surprise having been in the hobby a long time myself. I’m looking forward to my next visit here!

Ryan Day

Nice store, it looks small when you walk in but there are big walls of aquariums around the corner from the main entrance. Lots of neat things and good prices. I think it's locally owned? Friendly and helpful.

Jimi Delish

Been there 3 times this week after finding out they existed. We were helped by different people each time and all of them provided excellent customer service. They answered all our questions and recommended fish and plants. Good selection of fish and the fish all seem well cared for. They seem to have a new sale every weekend that they post on their Facebook page!

Victor Cho

Frankie grandes Foot fungus

So much variety of fish and plants, would recommend going to if you need fish, the staff are so sweet

Mirie Abrams

Really impressed with this new aquarium store! I'm sure our visit will be the first of many. DEFINITELY check this place out if you are an aquarium hobbyist! The shop is very well organized and stocks many reputable, high-quality aquarium foods, medication, and supplies, without the branding shenanigans that you might see at larger chain retailers. The owner and staff members are knowledgeable and welcoming, and were very receptive of discussing our care strategy for our current aquarium residents and their conundrums. We didn't stay long to check out the livestock selection, but at a quick glance there was fantastic variety and a lovely setup.

Chris & Heidi Clement

Such a wonderful store! Clean tanks, great selection and knowledgeable friendly staff. Will absolutely be back when i'm in the area.

Lainy Gavigan

Friendly staff that were super helpful! Beautiful fish and other creature's, wide selection. Will definitely be going back.

Lots of unique stock. Good prices. Very helpful and friendly.

Cali F

I couldn't be happier I found this place, I was actually sent here on the recommendation of another store. It's tucked away but still large and well kept. The owner immediately introduced himself and was very friendly with answering my questions. He also had a ton of plain 5 gallon aquariums - why these are so hard to find these days, I honestly don't know. Then he custom made glass lids for them for me, blew me away. He's knowledgable and helpful but not pushy. Good selection of accessories. Definitely my new favourite store.

Tellus Rigbee

Good variety of product, tons of happy fish and knowledgeable and nice staff. Great local business will shop again!

Connor Park

Great little store, amazing variety of fish and the staff members are very friendly and helpful!

Sam Ng

One of the best place for aquarium supplies and live stock! Friendly staffs and know their stuff. Highly recommended!

From The Ground Up- Mazda

I recently went to this store for the first time. I was really happy with how clean the tanks were and the quality of the fish. I wasn't planning on purchasing any fish but went home with some African cichlids and some guppies.

Mr4500X

Aqua Market is a destination aquarium fish store! They have an excellent assortment of aquarium fishes, many of which that are not commonly seen in other stores. The staff have a high level of expertise in the fish, aquatic invertebrates, and aquatic plants they carry. They offer great prices and do their best to ensure fish keepers have success with anything they purchase. Their staff are friendly and helpful and, in my experience, go the extra mile. I highly recommend visiting Aqua Market. I’ve purchased fish, snails, shrimp, plants as well as dry products from Aqua Market—all with complete satisfaction.

Charlie The cool guy

This is by far the best fish store if ever been to! They care for their animals really well, it’s amazing. I got plants and a culture of grindle worms for cheap, I 100% recommended!!

Brenda S

You Suck

An employee from big all’s recommended the store to me when I couldn’t find the fish I wanted at big all’s. Aqua mart has nicer fish that look way healthier than big all’s but not quite as many fish. I will not be going back to big all’s as the fish at aqua mart are WaaY healthier and half the price The staff were very patient and kind.

Janice Wilson

Great selection of fish, reptiles, shrimp, products, live plants, live food cultures, frozen food, and equipment! Great staff!

Ethan Svensson

Great place. It is the best livestock I know. High quality breeds, healthy and bright. The staff is very knowledgeable, people with a lot of experience and many years of hard work in the hobby. To me is almost impossible to get all of these in any other store nowadays. Prices are low for the livestock quality you get and lower than most of the other places in the city. Congrats!

Sandra Gibson

I stopped by today for Pygmy Cory's. I got very young healthy vibrant fish. The owner & his staff were very knowledgeable. I will be back again for more information. They carry great products too and their prices are easily the best in the city!

Kian C

Very friendly staff and manager, great selection and prices. I'm never disappointed, we always come out with a smile on our faces. If you've never been there, you are most certainly missing out.

Melanie COULSON

Very cool store! The staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. They had a great selection of fish that looked really alert and healthy. The prices were also quite good, with many items being less expensive than some of the other stores. They also had these beautiful galaxy bettas that I can't get out of my head! I bought some floating plants, moss and a bag of leaf litter (3 types to choose from). The portion sizes of the plants were nice a big. I will definitely be going back!

Kyla Dupuis-nabholz

Amazing variety awesome customer service

Benjamin Krysa

Awesome selection of fish and pets. I highly recommend aqua market.

Dillon Eckert

Great store! Lots of knowledge and plenty of selection. I'll be back again for sure.

Kolten St Pierre

Aqua Market is easily my favourite aquatic pet store in Edmonton. Is it as big as Big Al's? No. But does it have healthier fish, incredibly knowledgeable staff/owners, great customer service, and justifiable prices? Absolutely! If you haven't yet, check this place out. Even just go to look at how healthy and happy their fish look compared to other places around town.

P.A.

Amazing place! So happy we found it! Very knowledgable and helpful staff. Lots of variety of fish, shrimp and plants that are super healthy and well cared for. Very neat, clean and well kept. Will most definitely be going back! My new favorite place!

Nessa Deans

I would give this place a 6/5 stars if I could. Welcoming environment, fantastic staff (friendly and knowledgeable), and quality livestock and plants at good prices. Hands down best aquarium store in the city.

Bailey Burton

i will be going here from now on! recommend going here to everyone else! 10/10

Barry Linkiewich

A clean, well lit store full of great looking livestock run by a long time veteran in the local fish community... Aqua Market is a definite repeat visit for me!

Maro Maro

Michael has a good selection and his prices are good too. It's nice to see that he sells both fish and reptiles. He has a lot of previous experience in the undustry too and is quite a friendly guy. Definitely one of the better places for freshwater fish in the city.

A B

Great store, friendly staff, and fully stocked with aquatic fish and drygoods!

Jalon Leendertse

Great selection of freshwater, freshwater plants, freshwater shrimp, reptiles and amphibians, including rare species. Very knowledgeable and experienced staff and owner (*friendly advice for free ;). Owner is able to bring in really cool species upon request. Really unique store setup, worth a visit.

Barbara Pearson

Amazing!.. hidden GEM..truly great animal husbandry!! Found this Gem, by fluke!! Now my one stop shop!!!

Martina Mortimer

Such a hidden Gem! This store is a go to whether you’re a newbie or seasoned hobbyist. Michael is a great guy who has a wealth of knowledge to share. The prices are very fair and there’s plenty of variety of fish.

Alexander Wilson

Just discovered this new aquarium shop and am very impressed! Michael the owner was very nice and had great selection of healthy looking fish. They also have some products that are not available in other local shops.

Skyler Neubauer

The best aquarium/fish store in the city. I went for the first time yesterday after constantly getting diseased fish from other stores around the city. This place is how all fish/aquarium shops should be. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, great stock, and nothing but healthy fish and clean aquariums.

penny gauder

It was great. New store with lots of fish.

James Li

excellent customer service and a wide variety of fish. definitely check this place out.

Amber-lee Ingersoll

Great prices, nice healthy looking live stock. Got a beautiful betta there. Also have a few reptiles.

Jan Let

What a fantastic new store! If you're an aquarium nut.. You've got to go! It's not a franchise, most of their fishies are bred in Canada. They had a rough go with the covid, go show them some support! They have an awesome sale on until July 11!

Alex S

Great store, great prices, great people My wife and I are from Calgary and we decided to visit this store while visiting edmonton and WOW what an amazing store with incredibly friendly staff. Prices are fantastic and the livestock is very healthy and well kept. Will be visiting anytime we are in town!

maha adnan

I'm so glad to shop at Aqua Market. Good selection of fish and plants and wonderful customer service! You have to visit to see for yourself!

Patrick Mendoza

I recently visited this fairly new local aquatic fish store, as I was in search of fish medication, and they definitely had some in stock. Very nice and clean environment, the highlight of the store was definitely the fish room!! 5/5 amazing unique healthy fish. The staff were very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend visiting this local fish store for all your fish hobby needs.

Nathan Chalifoux

Customer service is top notch. The owner is very knowledgeable and offering up information. The new team member is very helpful as well. She doesn't know everything but she doesn't shy away from finding a solution or an answer. I had a problem with the introduction of my fish into my tank and they helped me get to the root of the problem. Gave me great tips on how to go about it better next time and replaced my fish. Please buy your fish and plants from here. You won't regret the experience.

Mizz Katie

At first glance seems small and with barely any fish, i was about to leave until the man told me about the back room where the fish are almost hidden away. I was amazed at the beautiful fresh water fish. Huge selection and amazing colors!! Im in love with the stingrays!

Michael Harper

An excellent fish store. Staff is wonderful and helpful, prices are reasonable, and the livestock is varied and awesome. Definitely one of my favorite aquarium shops in the city.

shevon purcell

Good selection and lovely staff

Anh Truong

Good place and nice services. I am really happy with it.

Trent Schmidt

Was a nice surprise being able to add another tropical fish store to my visits to Edmonton. All the fish are healthy and they carry the Sera line of products. Staff were friendly and helpful. Whenever I am in the area I will be sure to visit.

dave trinh

Someone at Petsmart recommended Aqua Market when I was looking for Cardinal Tetra. To my surprise there are a lot of fish and plant selections in the store, plus the prices are reasonable. More importantly the fish looks very healthy and there are a lot of rare varieties. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and gave me a lot of good advice. I took a lot of pictures that day. After a few days of research on the internet with the picture taken, I came back and bought a bunch of fish that were better than the Cardinal Tetra. I am very happy with the results and will come back again.

Kevin Acton

Had a chance to visit Aquamarket on a road trip from Saskatoon. The layout of the store was fantastic! Specific sections and dedicated tanks for shrimp and bettas were beautiful. Fish and plant selection. Was diverse, healthy and in good condition. The dry good section had top name brands, not a lot, but all the good things were on the shelf! Finally Michael and staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. This is a great fish store!!

Mark Hinse

Good prices,good selection, friendly

Aziz Martakoush

This store is a must visit for anyone in the freshwater aquarium hobby! They’re very knowledgeable and friendly. For me, it’s worth the five hour drive to Edmonton for the quality customer service and great selection of healthy livestock.

Justin

A must visit fish store!

Smurfy 999

Excellent selection of fish

Jason D

My friend and I have been going to the popular over priced aquarium/fish stores and could never find nice attractive healthy fish and when we did find some they were pricey or sold out by the time we got there. We found this fantastic store from a woman at one of the stores who told me to try Aqua Market that was about a year ago, since then that is the only store we go to for anything fish related. My friend says it's a little gem, and that's not far from the truth. I almost don't want to share this store with anyone else and keep it a secret. But I also want the store to do well so I can keep buying fish and supplies from there.

Debra Lynn

Very pleasant experience. I wanted to find a place that actually cares about the fish they sell and Aqua Market did not disappoint. Blake was so knowledgeable and patient with my fish questions. The shop is very clean and tidy with an extensive amount of tanks. The selection of marine life is outstanding and unlike the other places that sell fish, there were no dead ones floating in the tank. For an independent shop, they are really great with pricing and customer service. Well worth the visit.

Howin Yee

Absolutely shocked with the wide range of never ending inventory here. All tropical fish, tropical lizards/frogs, stingrays. They have over hundreds of species of fish that they sell here. Great customer service and at a very reasonable price. This is now my go to place to get supplies (food, filters, etc)

Stavros Kavgadoulis

Fair pricing on items and fish cheaper than the big boys. Wide selection of fish.

Tom Li

Very good selection of fish and plants, Mike is extremely knowledgeable about all matters of keeping tropical fish.

J Tummers

What a great selection of fish and shrimps at least 10 varieties of fresh water shrimp The Sera and Tetra foods are 2nd to none. Pricing is very competitive. Expertise is evident. Appears very stocked for reptiles and live foods.i am going back.

Wilfred Ho

Good varieties and service. Staff there are very knowledgeable. Especially the manager Michael and Blake. This is THE place for all aquarists’ needs!

Tyler MacDonald

Aleksandra Majewska

Amazing selection of fish (many that I never saw in Edmonton), aquatic plants and very fair prices. Staff very helpful and friendly. Now they expanded selection and they offer basic reptile product like terrariums, food (powders, jello for geckos) and equipment. The owner Michael is very helpful and open to conversation. I highly recommend this store!!!

Paul Nam
