Amazing place for marine/reef stock.

Mark Diano

I strongly recommend Raging Reef on Papineau Avenue based on the excellent service that I received. It was my first time purchasing an aquarium for my home and the owner, Raja, kindly guided me step by step through what the purchase would entail. He also advised me on what I would require to optimize the longevity of the fish and coral as well as the visual appeal of the aquarium itself. I have been in customer service for over 10 years and I can attest to the fact that I received a five star service from beginning to end.

GK

Beautiful store with a wide range of corals and exotic fish. The staff is extremely helpful and will answer any questions you have. Raja has been especially very professional and patient as it was my first saltwater tank. This is by far the best store in quebec for reef aquariums!

JJames G

In store service for picking out your fish is great but as soon as you ask for help or any consulting over the phone or in person you get attitude. It's twice now I call to see if there's a product or any alternative solution for salt water aquarium treatments and I get attitude and talked down to. Horrible help. Not motivated to ever spend money at this store again as a customer.

Matthew Hynes

Best selection of corals in montreal.

Rahul Sharma

I'd like to write about my amazing first time experience dealing with Raging Reef. I was on the look out for a rare flashing tilefish and saw that this store recently had some in stock. Unfortunately, by the time I had called, they had already sold out of this very popular fish. Out of pure kindness, Raja, the owner of the store said that he had one left in his store's display tank that he was willing to sell me. The kind gesture of willing to selling me a fish reserved for a display tank made me realize just how wonderful the store treats their customers (whether old or new). Before shipping the fish to me, Raja made sure it was eating and gaining weight. As you know, shipping can be quite stressful for fish, so he wanted to make sure the fish would not only survive the trip, but also thrive in my tank. I am happy to say that the tilefish is doing amazing. What made my dealings with Raging Reef even sweeter, was that he was able to offer me the fish for a great deal with free shipping included. The attention to detail while packaging my shipment, was quite evident. The heat pack was still nice and warm, the fish was triple bagged and was covered in a nice warm heated wrapper. You could tell they care about what they do, their fish and their customers! To top it all off, Raja threw in a free container of Fauna Marin fish food. How sweet!! To anyone in Canada looking to purchase saltwater fish, corals, equipment and foods, look no further, because Raging Reef will always have your back! You will not be disappointed!!

MrJohnny7567

Staff is super friendly, patient and helpful. Great selection of corals, a lot of them priced for much less than you’d even be able to buy them online, not even taking into account the shipping. Not sure how they do it, but I ain’t complaining!

p rudolph

Great selection for marine aquariums. Freindly staff, the owner Raja is often behind the counter and he and his employees are very knowledgeable about all things salt water. Ive been going there for close to 10 years and if you have a salt water aquarium you wont be disappointed. They have a nice selection of coral and fish and if they dont have what you want he can probably get it for you.

The best coral and fish store in montreal! They have a great selection and the staff is very helpful!!

Lidia Ivanova

(Translated) Never put the corals from this store into the aquarium without examining them very well. The last time I removed: Aiptasia, Bubble seaweed and an egg (I don't know who and don't want to know). I understand that there is not a lot of competition in Montreal, but they will have to put more effort into keeping their aquarium free from parasites. Update: Changed from 2 to 1 stars. Now I have been trying for several months to eliminate Aiptasia and cannot eradicate it completely. Bubble algae I beat with Vibrant and lost a lot of stock because of it. As soon as I saw Aiptasia and Bubble in their corals you had to leave the store instantly ... (Original) Jamais mettez les coreaux de ce magasin dans l'aquarium sans les très bien examiner. La dernière fois j'ai enlevé : Aiptasia, Bubble algue et un oeuf (je ne sais pas de qui et ne veux pas savoir). Je comprends qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de compétition à Montréal, mais ils devront mettre plus d'effort pour garder leur aquarium propres de parasites. MAJ: Changé de 2 à 1 étoiles. Maintenant j'essaie depuis plusieurs mois d'eleminer Aiptasia et n'arrive pas de l'éradiquer complètement. Bubble algae j'ai battu avec Vibrant et perdu beaucoup de stock à cause de ça. Dès que j'ai vu Aiptasia et Bubble dans leur coreaux il fallait quitter le magasin instantanément...

Eric Bouchard
