Kenny

Very nice store ~ I recommend to buy anything here.

Kyler Fortney

Awesome selection and great service !!!

Josh

Friendly staff that are willing to take the time to teach you, help you and just chat. Great selection of coral, fish, Invertebrates and dry goods that are very reasonably priced. I would strongly suggest you check these guy out and give them a try. They also just moved to a new beautiful location so give them sometime to get fully back up and running.

Maarten Van Ruitenburg

Great quality corals. Communication and delivery were great as well

Rick Carter

Great folks....I picked up my order from the store and spent time looking at the many healthy corals on display. Quick service and all inverts were healthy. They are now working on my clean up of two reef tanks. Will pop by again for sure...

Banger Asante

Great selection of corals. Prices are a bit on the high side. Might not be the place for you if your new to the hobby

Shaan S

Great selection, helpful staff, and mostly good prices

Mark Hojsan

Exceptional selection. Best looking store in the entire Greater Toronto Area! And I've been to all of them...

Jonathan Bridges

Very nice and knowledgeable staff, great prices. I would like them to have their stock marked a lot better so you know what you are paying for with your receipt. Go check them out.

The staff here are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful both online and in person. As someone who is a newbie in saltwater fishkeeping, it's somewhat intimidating to head into a specialty fish store trying to remember exactly what you need, but the staff here are very patient in explaining various processes involved in the hobby. Their website is also very user friendly and visually aesthetic. They've also got accurate photos of their corals that are for sale, which I personally adore because having actual photos of the corals lets you see exactly what you're purchasing. Additionally, because there's so much color variations, it also helps beginners get a better idea of what you want in your tank. I will definitely be coming back to stock my tank once it fully cycles!

Great store, looks beautiful inside! They are still renovating and planning to add more tanks, but they have a good variety of fish and invertebrates right now. They also have a very good selection of corals.

Blair Reekie

Wonderful staff who are knowledgeable and eager to assist. They truly want customers to succeed and be satisfied. Always new stock arriving. Great corals and fish. You will love your visit!

Fantastic place!!

Dimitri Nivolianitis

Canada Corals recently opened up in Coquitlam; They have very helpful staff, carry a wide selection of corals and some unique fish and invertebrates. They also accept most fish and coral trade - ins which is nice. So far they've been great! 5/5

alain lamothe

Lots of nice corals

Maddy Pedersen

Pretty upset about my order. Made an online order on boxing day to take advantage of the sales, and was very excited to receive it. It ended up being pushed back 3 weeks because of the holidays- that's fine, I understand. Now it's coming in on a Friday instead of the Saturday it was supposed to come on, and I have to make special arrangements to leave work to get it. Inconvenience, but it happens. But I've just received a call saying that the snails, hermit crabs and sea hare I ordered aren't coming in because of inventory issues! I made this order 3 weeks ago specifically to get some clean up crew, and then added a couple other items since I was already having it shipped out. Now I'm not receiving over half of the order I've been waiting nearly a month for! If I had known I wouldn't receive the items I ordered, I would have taken advantage of other store's boxing day sales, so now I'm just out of luck. I'm sure the items I do receive will be of good quality, but I'm pretty upset that they informed me the day it was about to ship, and there are no other options for me to substitute.

Joseph Madz

Excellent products and friendly staff

Shaul Afik

The team at Canada Corals took the time to describe livestock and fun of the hobby!

Stef Mac

great services

Duc B

Quality of corals has really fell off and selection has been sparce since they sold to different owners. Sad because this was my favourite place for corals before.

Cole Keitamo

Thank you for the great service. The staff is always very helpful when dealing with them in person or by phone. I've never had any issues with product and livestock bought from them. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for corals or fish

Christos Chortogiannos

The staff was not very welcoming and their prices are really high for corals with the exception of some sps. Best part was their macro algae. Very good selection.

Caitlin Forbes

Beautiful coral and facility. Very helpful and very reasonable prices

Babak Morshedizadeh

I’ve been regularly visiting this place in Mississauga. This is the "go to place" for you regardless of you being new or experienced in reefing. First of all, the service is individualized. They care what you do to your tank. On so many occasions I was turned away from buying certain products because they knew it wasn't going to work for me. They don't carry junk, they carry the stuff that is high grade and works; yet their prices are lower than anything I found around here. The selection of corals, how they care for them, and their livestock in general is superb. Above all, they are knowledgable. This is their passion. You can see it in how the place is run. I rather drive from Thornhill to Mississauga than go to local fish stores around me. It is worth the distance. And if I needed anything they didn't carry, they were happy to order it in for me, quickly, and at competitive prices. I can tell you I have tons of experience with many fish stores. They sell you whatever they can; they are happy to see you fail and go back for more. But at Canada Corals, the customer service and care and at a different level. They want you to succeed and have happy tank inhabitants. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Josh H

Canada Corals used to be a great place to shop. Since the move I have emailed them multiple times about a previous store credit I was granted for an order mishap to no avail. No response whatsoever. Edit: Brian reached out to me Immediately by phone after posting this to resolve the issue. He did confirm my store credit is indeed in the system as it should be. For some reason I am not receiving any emails from them still so not sure what is up with that.

Varun Anipindi (VarunA)

Fantastic place to go for your saltwater aquarium needs. Very well maintained facility with some rare and beautiful corals. Definitely the place to go for birds nest, sps, lps and soft corals. It is nice to see a specialist hobby store like this in Mississauga.

idenity n

Love this place price is very good

Foenix

Not a lot of selection.

Desmond Sultana

Best place for corals and equipment. Always great help with questions. Everyone really seems to know their stuff

Adrian Georgescu

Most Fridays they get new items.

Tyson Williams

Very poor customer service when it comes to return of dry goods, we bought something which turned out not to be suitable for our tanks and we could not return for a refund. We were offered only a 25% of the original cost as a store credit. Needless to say after spending hundreds of dollars over the year at this business, we (and out friends) will not be back to shop for anything again. Poor customer service, you have lost 2 loyal customers today!

Panda Fish

Have a great and good quality selection of corals with a fair price. Very knowledgeable and passionate people as well. Would recommend to anyone who are new to saltwater hobby

Alexander Wiseman

Great staff and unbeatable prices on tank supplies that I purchased after comparing their prices and products to many of their competitors. Was able to order stuff they didn't have in stock when I walked into the store.

Pablo AB

Wow amazing seawater tanks with incredible corals, fish and other vertebrates! All of the colors you could ever want to see in the ocean you will find them there. Absolutely recommend, worth the visit at least!

Andrew Dingemans

Always amazing service

David Dunsmore

Much better service than J&L aquatics

Bob Barbieri

Excellent service and very good livestock make it easy to recommend. Fast shipping with great packaging!!

Lyndon Darrah

Great coral and invertebrate selection.. Also awesome equipment prices, far cheaper than big al's for things like marineland pumps and heaters. Inventory is hit and miss sometimes though so it's best to check online first before heading in.

Michael Huang

Great selection, there can be some decent deals. Website Has WYSIWYG and live stock. The staff are very friendly.

Shawn D.

Location is more convenient in terms of a central north spot that serves York region.

David Gillett

Great selection and knowledgeable staff.

Nicole O

The new owner's have ruined this placed for us, nothing against them but Dan used to be amazing for help. price has raised alot on simple frags to.

Darb Skoor

One of the best coral shops I've visited. Fair prices and beautiful livestock. If you're near Pearson airport you must stop in.

Jason C

Staff here friendly are knowledgeable about their fish, invert and coral livestock. Store is in a good location with ample parking.

Dennis Cartier

Always friendly and helpful. Best coral selection in Toronto by far!

Loading Gamers

good place to buy bulkhead, they don't have all size but some, price is a lot cheaper then big al

Aaron Chin

Everyone that works there have been super helpful and has gone the extra mile to make my experience enjoyable or to help me out. Great prices on dry goods and they keep a nice selection of corals at all times. Always worth the visit when I go.

Philippe Chartrand

Great selection, I was skeptical to place a online order for the first time and I was very happy with the outcome! 50% accurate pictures and descriptions. Why 50% ?? The corals looked so much better in my tank then on the webpage pictures, I had to pull up my order to compare and make sure they did not send me more expensive corals :P.... Not that they could of made a mistake with the great packaging and labeling. Even the 10$ zoo frag I got to lower my shipping cost is putting 80% of my current collection to shame. Great packaging and fast delivery. I would blindly order from them over the phone without seeing any pictures, you will not be disappointed !

Watch Dog

Very well maintained. Prices are crazy good when on sale. Will definitely go back for some more livestock.

A K

Great place for fish and corals!

JR Morales

Absolutely amazing service from Stephen in the lower mainland of BC. With many other local stores either lacking in service, or in healthy livestock, Stephen and Canada Corals always has both covered. Highly recommended!

Tony

Good price helpful

Naho K

Amazing corals and very helpful staffs!

Ahmed Ali

I was very thrilled to visit Canada Corals since I just started having interest in the hobby. I wasn't sure what would I find, but I was very happy by my experience with the staff and in the store overall. I was blown away by all the fish selection they have. I was beyond amazed. I loved it and my love to the hobby doubled 100 times. What's even better is the staff. They were very helpful and ready to answer all my questions. They also told me that they will be able to answer all my questions on emails if I need any more help. When I was done, I went home and started doing my research, thinking about how can I make the perfect reef tank. The size, stocking..etc! I was almost ready, but I had more questions. I emailed Canada Corals with my questions about stocking the tank. When they got back to me, I was given a full detailed answers about my questions. I also received a great detailed feedback about my fish stocking. Like what kind of fish would be compatible with each other and what fish (from what I picked) would be aggressive with the others. Overall, I had a great experience dealing with Canada Corals. I will gladly suggest them to anyone of my friends!

Rich Kang

Awesome place for Corals and supplies

Aslam Shaikh

Good collection of corals and other reef stuff

Ross Petersen

Now out of Kamloops, BC. I ordered several fish from their team and they arrived well-packaged and healthy. Brian was a delight to chat with on the phone -and was keen to share information and open dialogue.

Chris Walton

Good selection of corals and dry goods

Hao Chang

Old location better

Patrick Lee

Great helpful staff with a very clean set up. You can tell they put a lot of care in every frag they have on display.

Keion Calliste

Alain Bouchard

Live stock delivery. Service was very friendly and helpful. Packaging was perfect, good size styrofoam box, heat pad, doubled individual id'd bags, etc. All specimens was very healty and good sized for the price.

Shantel S

Love this place as soon as I walked in. The corals they have are very well kept and absoutley breathtaking. Staff was very informative, and pricing is fair. Little bit less for saltwater supplies then most stores I've been to in the area. I would highly recommend this place.

Claudio Grez

Great place to get amazing colourful corals. Freindly staff clean and tidy

Harris Idiens

Good communication the packaging was excellent and everything arrived fast and healthy. I will be doing business again thanks.

Everrett Perez

Bought 3 fish from them 2 clowns and a yellow tang. All 3 ended up being sick same day of purchase, i contacted them saying i would try and heal them in my qt tank and keep them posted. They showed little sympathy to have sold me sick fish and said there was nkt much they could do. After one clownfish died I asked if he could be replaced at the least and they refused. I do not recommend buying anything from theses people as they have low experience and have no problem risking compromising peoples pricey displays.

Loukas Christopoulos

Fantastic service. Went above and beyond my expectations. Great communication from the entire staff and ownership. Healthy and vibrant stock. Their packing, labeling, and shipping was top notch. Appreciated the extra item on the "house". I will definitely be purchasing another order soon. I've already recommended you guys to all those i know in the hobby here at home.

Alex Cvetkov

Keep up the great work!

TAYLOR F

Fair prices and the staff knew a lot, really exited I found this place and the tanks are insanely clean. Loved it EDIT 6/22/2018 I feel the dry goods are still better than everywhere in both quality and price however the coral itself has steadily increased in price. On average I would say between 30 and 40%.

Dylan Carter

Great selection of coral available for a wide range of prices. It is easy to reserve online or even order to your door. What you see online is exactly what is in their tank in-store.

Ruth & Scott Fox

Fire!

frag farmer

Staff didn't really know too much. Shop was very clean but I am a beginner and felt like I knew more about the hobby than the person I was talking to. Corals were little pricey and not the healthiest.

Elysia Murrell

Great prices and amazing corals . Number one store here . The girl that works here is so friendly deff a great place

Devin Vanderlaan

Nice Place. Pricing was a little high but a good selection of coral. Could not find alot of selection of Monti Cap

Jade Chin

My son loves to visit this place. Lots of beautiful coral, fish, and crustaceans to see. Keeping a tank and having corals are daunting tasks for us. But it's such a great uplifting experience, walking to a store with vivid displays, and one of the owners explaining to us about the corals. We can tell he is passionate about the corals and the fish. Very knowledgeable too. Although keeping corals or pets is not a thong for us, I would still give kudos and recommend this place to anyone looking for aquatic pets :)

Ming Lin

Staff was very informative, knowledgable and pricing is fair. A lot of choices (sps, lps, fishes , inverts). It has been my first choice for last two years. My reef lighting broke down, as usual I order my new Ecotech Radion from Canada Coral. There was a shipping issue. Owner Rob went extra mile to pick up in person from warehouse to make sure I receive my Radion on time. Great customer service!!

Carole Gagnon

(Translated) I bought corals online and received everything in less than 24 hours, healthy corals, no disappointment with my choices. (Original) J'ai acheté des coraux en ligne et j' ai reçu le tout en moins de 24hres, coraux en bonne santé, aucunement déçu de mes choix.

Michael G

Excellent store, excellent selection.

Steve Fedyk

Great helpful staff. Will be get to see the store complete. Good selection on corals and fish.

Bryan Keown

Good selection

jessica windy

Complete waste of time. They told me for 3 weeks straight they were going to bring in an item I was looking for. Wasted my time over and over again telling me it was coming. The corals are meh and over priced. The owner literally knows nothing. I"m giving 1 star because at least the employees try but there is a serious lack of moral. Better than a big als but thats not saying much.... save your time and $.

mike pryhoda

The store is super clean and has an amazing variety of coral frags and larger pieces. The owners and employees are very knowledgeable and helpful. They have great prices and stok a lot of dry good as well. Best store in the GTA!!

Ryan R

Placed a large order of mixed corals and a few CUC. Corals started in Ontario, and were shipped all the way to the west coast for me, they arrived in under 24 hours. Customer service was amazing, I will be ordering from them again (in fact I am in the process of making an order) Out of the almost dozen coral I ordered all are doing great with the exception of one, and it was a larger piece so may have had a rougher ride at the expense of the couriers. A++ Would recommend.

lle hotfox

I visited the store back in Jan for my birthday. I loved every minute of the experience. We came along way to purchase from the store and it was totally worth it. The owner is awesome and the staff was super helpful. Landed up spending a lot of money and will be returning. Beautiful inventory, clean store, knowledgeable staff and I found the prices to be fair for what you get. Would I go back, yes yes yes. Would I recommend yes, yes, yes. 10/10

Jashan Swaich

Jo nathan

This is an amazing place. They have a great selection of corals and fish/inverts. The staff was amazing they helped me with my purchase and treated me like a friend which was nice. I would recommend this place to all. They also sell online so you can buy direct. Great work!

Krista Gillis

I had the most amazing experience dealing with the friendly and educated staff at Canada corals. I recently purchased a mandarin dragonet from them this was my first ever online purchase and they walked me threw the whole thing and answered all my questions quickly. their prices are extremely reasonable and my fish was excellently packages and arrived healthy and happy. I highly recommend them for all you salt water needs

Sarah L.

My corals seem to never be able to get to me but customer service always tried their best. My boyfriend tried to get me sps corals as a surprise for Valentines day shipped to my office tank... The staff and owners try their best to help but for my 1st shipment, I was accidentally shipped the wrong shipment and was sent someone else's (I order around $400 worth of sps and got a small box of zoas lol). To be honest it made me pretty sad as I was told the day before about my surprise and was very excited for it. They were very apologetic and credited my shipment. 2nd shipment arrived mostly dead, had 2 corals alive that included my freebie, once again very apologetic and credited my shipment. I did notice that the heat pack was shipped differently than the 1st shipment, it was shipped in an envelope which i felt contained the heat, asked if the next they could ship it like the 1st shipment with the heat pack not inside an envelope.. So my THIRD shipment, ordered again, my shipment ended getting delayed by a day, they tried to get it shipped asap but still delayed. Arrived colder than me and dead again =( , heat pack was still shipped with the envelope. Called them and spoke to the owners who were apologetic and ended up refunding my boyfriend's money. Would I order again? I told them I would when it gets closer to summer. These guys tried their best and thats all I can ask for. Considering all thats happened, I am giving them 4 out of 5 stars for their efforts even though it seemed impossible to get my corals.

John R

It's worth the 45 minute drive to this place for the corals!

Jesse Holloway

Good selection, friendly staff

Daniel M

Great shop, friendly, healthy corals. Nice diverse selection of coral, and dry goods.

Val Halla

Best selection of corals in BC. Staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. Special order corals are also available.

SS - 12TJ 695866 Port Credit SS

Love their service!! New owners Randi & Brian are extremely nice, and their top priority is the health of their livestock (unlike many fish stores who are in it for profit). Our shipment came excellently packaged with everything alive! The price is right too! customer service there is excellent and their selection of livestock is amazing! Any fish you want, one phone call and they do their best to try and get it in. from common clownfish to rare jawfish, they have it all! Keep it up guys !!! :))

Piran Vevaina

Great place for frags, livestock and other dry goods for you reef. A little expensive, but the selection is great.

Madison M

Stopped in here this weekend to pick up some supplies for our nano reef; received some extremely helpful information. We can’t wait to come back and purchase our corals here once the tank is ready, they looked incredibly healthy. I’ve found that some of the other Aquarium stores owners/employees can be very condescending, but that was not the case with Steven. He made the experience so enjoyable!

Paul Saggers

went there today for the first time. Great staff, very helpful and knowledgeable, lots of product. excellent customer service. I am looking forward to going back again a lot. big thank you to Stephen and Brian for all the advice, the website is also well done.

JSM REEF

Cheapest reef salt around. Great selection of saltwater marine life. Very healthy coral, fish and inverts. My go to local fish store for everything saltwater.

Annick Prévost

It is always a charm to buy online from you guys. You are fast, contact the client and you are easy to reach. Corals always arrive healthy and well packaged. What do I need to say more...I am a happy customer! :)

Sylvia Mateff

I bought with the old owners and new and they have always been fantastic. Very knowledgable and amazing service. I have to ship and everything is always packed well and healthy.
