Very friendly staff very willing to help. Great little store! Picked up some adorable panda cories for a great price
Always friendly, family run business. Knowledge is significant. Would highly recommend.
Excellent Customer Service and Friendly Staff!! Extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the stuff. One thing I like is that they tell you everything straight up. I say 5 stars to this place.
The gentleman that helped me was very knowledgeable about the fish I was looking for. Gave me lots of suggestions and was very helpful without being over bearing. Prices are great. I believe I've found my new go-to fish store!
Very knowledgeable. Kids had awesome experience
this is probably one of the best fish stores I've been too! SUPER friendly and knowledgeable staff!!
Best Aquarium store in Toronto
Amazing local fish store! I’ve been coming here for about a decade and a half. The customer service and quality of the fish has never wavered. The store is family run and you can always count on a pleasant experience. I recommend this store to anyone who has aquarium needs
Love the store, very helpful staff, they got everything I need
Pretty sure this is a family run business. As far as I know they have been here for a couple of decades. Went in to get a fish and bowl for my little one a few weeks ago, a nice man (possibly the owner) was very helpful, gave us advice on what we needed for a little starter pet fish set up. We got a bowl, an accessory castle and 2 gold fish. Very beautiful & healthy fish. We will definitely be coming back for our future first filtered aquarium. Please shop and support local!! Let's keep our family owned business' afloat (no pun intended ????)during these crazy covid times. Thank you for a great experience!
Horrible and deceiving!! Stay away if you can because if anything goes wrong they won't help you unless you pay more and more. I paid $2000 for a new piece of glass and for my tank to be resealed. The tank is over 200 gallons and it leaked and when I asked for help they wanted more money, how is it my fault? I never touched it other than to feed my fish and I followed every single instruction!! Well the tank is leaking more again and has flooded my house once again, I feel completely deceived especially when I paid so much money!! I wouldn't mind if it was done properly or if they came to reseal it but they completely abandoned me and ignored me. STAY AWAY THEY DO NOT CARE THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY
Great aquarium place to be. Bought a couple of african cichlids and a pleco. Excellent customer service. They will educate you well if you have any question. Prices are good too. Highly recommended.
Awesome family owned and runn3d place great service and prices!
I usually don’t write reviews but thought I should write about them. This place and those two brothers are the best . I became their forever customer. Excellent customer service, good collection, reasonable price and they are very knowledgeable. Loved it.
Picked up a discus there, found out she was sick and instead of telling me to exchange her or anything, they told me to bring her in so they could treat her. That's the best customer service ever, and I can't wait to see her in a week, healthy. Thank you for being so understanding!
Its price one fish cost $2.45 for that it not weth it for a fish
Awesome fishies???????? Bsically ghettoripleys aquatium????????
This is my absolute favorite fish store. Their fish are healthy and their salt water tanks are amazing
The best place to buy fish and fish supplies
Friendly staff and good customer service. Answered a lot of my questions. Price is good too. Parking can be difficult but there are spots. They take credit card.

I've known this family for a long time & grew up with the twins :) The prices and people working there are amazing. They are always so caring & they listen to you when you have an issue with your tank or fish! I highly recommend this place :) ????
Best place ever
Great place for coral and marine equipment.
Finally made it out to NAFB yesterday and I was not disappointed. Staff is great and the store has so much character, beautiful fish and coral. Thank you for offering such a great store for this hobby!
My go to spot to find exotic fish. Also a family owed shop that I much rather support. Prices are fantastic.
Great place to get fish, especially saltwater fish
I like the place. We bought 3 fish and are healthy. Have lot of options to choose too. Recommended
beat place and all ways helpful
Decent selection and reasonable prices
Friendly staff very knowledgeable
Fair prices and helpful staff
A family run store with friendly staff! Usually there's lots of fish to choose from and they can make a nice custom aquarium for you. The staff provide a great service here for all your aquarium needs.
We have bought minimum 15 fish (5 at a time) from this place. They all died, plus a heater exploded in the tank. The only time we asked for a refund he said it was our fault. Don't buy fish here they will die. We understand it can be tricky with fresh water fish, but 15 fish can't be all us
White spots on fish wiped out my whole aquarium which I spent years building. My poor little friends have all died from the white spots brought in from this particular shop. When questioned about it, I was told that it was MY fault. Because my tank was close to a window? Just no. This place sells fish with the disease “ick” and it will spread through your tank like wildfire. Please for the love of god be careful before purchasing from these people. And if you do go down the same path, don’t expect a refund or any sort of apology because the owner will find a way to turn the blame on you.
The service here is amazing!! Any question I had was answered with knowledge. The younger gentleman took time to walk thru the store with us and discuss the different fish and their comparability with eachother and the older gentleman was helpful in giving me tips for general maintenance, they even offered to test my tank water when I come in to get my plants to make sure everything is ok. I have gone here many times in the past and will continue to go there for all my aquatic needs!!
BAD BAD BAD SERVICE. I went to their place and purchased complete set of tank and filter etc..with extra charge for delivery and installation after paying good amount of money upfront and the rest upon receiving and installation. They promise me to deliver it within 5 day i had to wait 2 full weeks . After ignoring my calls i had to drive again all the way from Richmond hill to Scarborough and get back my money. They don't even apologize to customers . DO NOT WAST YOUR MONEY
Great pet shop with great service
Good deals.
I went there other day...it was my first time in this store....no staff personnel came to offer to come to help. I honestly i was very disappointed that i decide to leave the store without purchased anything. And i won't come back thank you very much.
Great service, nice staff. Great alternative to big box stores. Will go back.
Amazing prices!
I went here for the first time yesterday. Great experience. If you're into fish and aquarium supplies. This is a go to place. Full range of fish and supplies . Also good customer service and prices.
This place was wonderful. The staff gave us all the information we needed to take care of the fish.
Extremely friendly and hard working staff! Our favourite aquarium shop to visit of all the GTA shops. Pricing here is far better than anywhere else. Their selection is also incredible! We visit a couple times a week
Excellent service reasonable price
Custom-made tanks and good coral reef selection
Been going here for years! Just got more fish and a uv light system this weekend .Also got more fish 2 weeks ago always helpful great service and very knowledgeable! Can't beat this place for an aquarium store. There is lots of selection both salt and freshwater. They have all kinds of supplies ,different food and accessories. I highly recommend this store I drive an hr and half to go there just because it's so worth it .
My go to store for all my fish products. Family runed business, quality products and service
Great place on custom built tanks
Awesome collection. Helpful staff. I had to return 3 of my fishes after 4-5 months and I didn't expect any refund but they still gave me 50% back. Would definitely recommend this place.
This place has went majorly Down hill
I didn't catch this at first, but I was charged for items I didn't buy. Items I had purchased I was overcharged for as well. They have older style receipts so it doesn't list what the items are, and I was charged for 4 plants @ $7.99, when I actually got 3 plants, and I was told one was $4.99 and the other two $7.99. I was also overcharged for 2 frogs. Otherwise the younger clerk was friendly, but he's the one that made all the errors. :/ The older guy was the one who told me the pricing. I dunno, I don't like to complain, but I don't have a lot during this covid thing, and my experience really put me down on coming back.
Excellent service family feeling .. Beautiful fish
Always friendly and happy to help in any way. Very knowledgeable.
Best aquarium store in gta, pricing are wayyy better than big al and have a large selection of coral and fish,
Great store, I've been going here for 10+ years. The family that runs the place is knowledgeable and like to discuss the hobby and share their experiences as well as listen to your experiences. Price point is pretty standard and the fish they sell are healthy.
Good knowledgeable service
Their friendly
This place is amazing. The family that works at this store is incredible. They will take the time to talk to you find out what you need and make recommendations. I was very new to the salt water tank world and these guys were so honest and made me feel so comfortable.
Great store. Best in the business. I dont buy my corals anywhere else! :) super knowledgeable people!
Friendly and knowledgeable staffs does have a variety of fish, the prices are also reasonable.
dealing with nice family business for twenty years, John the owner built my 180 gallon salt water tank twenty years ago, still going strong!
Best place in the GTA for Marine fish and Corals . I always go there first
LOVE IT PRICES ARE GREAT
Huge store cool place
Been shopping at this store for about 3 1/2 years I run a few saltwater setups and these guys are my go to . They are always very helpful and kind . Their customer service plays a big part in me coming back here, and you gotta love a family run business ! support local
Good store for serious fish keepers.
Amazing fish store! They have everything you'll need and amazing customer service! Great selection of fresh and salt water fish and a smaller selection of coral! But very nice store!! Will deffenitly be back :)
Great family run fish store. Always helped me find or make what I needed. They make tanks here. So you can get anything you need.
AWESOME FISH
You won't beat their price, quality, and expertise in the GTA
Great family run aquarium shop. Price are fair and good selection of fish
Super friendly guys always willing to help answer any questions. Runs as a family business it seems which is always awesome to see.
A great place for all your aquarium needs. There customer service is fantastic - they are always keen to help answer any questions.
Didnt even get a hello walking in, around or while passing on the way out. Terrible quality of fish. Angelfish with missing gillplate. Disfigured fish that should have been culled....and many fish with fungal infections wouldnt buy fish here.
I love this store, it is fairly priced, and has knowledgeable staff. ONE thing they seriously need is a price tag on the fish instead of the customer needing to ask the employees the price.
Great selection and nice people with lots of knowledge about their hobby. Having saltwater was nice to see many different brands to try rather then a cookie cutter fish store.
Amazing service and amazing staff very friendly and knowledgeable. I wouldn't recommend this store to the beginner aquarist as they have many harder to care for species, this is the perfect store for the hobbyist who knows what he wants and wants it for a good price. The prices here are insanely low. A $45 shrimp at other major stores is only $20 here. Thats crazy.
Great deals, I've been going to NAFB for years. family owned business which is inspiring in this day and age..friendly and knowledgeable .. lots of exciting saltwater fish and coral.. lots of Koi to choose from soon for your ponds..
Love that they always have a good selection of fish. This is the place to go in GTA if your looking for a shrimp goby pair!
Poor care of bettas. Many stored with coldwater fish
Excellent
Poor customer service tanks are filthy water everywhere no sign if the floors are wet . Mold in basement overcrowded tanks. This place don't quarantine there fish also he sell the fish within 24 hours so live stock will hardly survive. I would recommend going to either bigals or petsmart already they quarantine and give guarantee
Good selection of fish, friendly and helpful staff. My first stop when I'm looking for fish or supplies
Family owned and operated great place to get what you need for your fishtanks. They even do custom tanks.
Great place to get salt or fresh water fish.
If your looking for good quality fish and price along with it this place is highly recommended, I bought a lot of african cichlids here and they are doing great. Great staff and great shop. Definitely check them out
Discovered this shop and I just love the service. They were really friendly and answered all my concerns, since I was adding a second fish in the bowl. Would definitely recommend this place, they have reasonable prices compare to the other stores
The staff were so friendly and we had a great first experience. The guy allowed us to choose each fish and really take our time. Will definitely go back!
Great quality fish very knowledgeable
Good prices, extremely helpful staff. Highly recommended.
Amazing service..
I have been dealing with this store for years. Great place to buy fish and supplies. Family run business with very knowledgeable staff. Very friendly and receptive to your needs. Just a great place to do business.
Nice little aquarium shop, never knew it was there and I've been somewhat local for my whole life. Fish selection Is pretty good both marine and freshwater, but I must say the amount of additives and test kits and other essentials was quite a lot. Great little place to check out if you can!
Got to give credit where credit is due. NAFB pioneered the aquarium industry in this city. Feels good supporting a family business too. Thanks for all the help over the last decade plus!
Small family owned reputable place u can tell there knowledgeable and honest people
This place is great they have all kinds of stuff, friendly and knowledgeable
Found this place using google as I am from out of town but have heard about Big Al's and we wanted to find any other stores. First impression was that the tanks were very dirty, water on the floor and as another review mentioned having to ask for prices on almost everything. He did help me out alot when purchasing fish and explaining the care. He is very friendly and I wouldn't mind going back as we had an overall good experience. The sad thing is I bought a betta (I have owned them in the past and know their care) he was beautiful colours and unfortunately he died within 3 days. The one my friend bought is so far still alive and thriving so are the tetras we purchased, if he wasn't so far away I would have double checked on if they have a return like petsmart or if it's buyer beware like Paul Macs.
I've known this family for a long time & grew up with the twins :) The prices and people working there are amazing. They are always so caring & they listen to you when you have an issue with your tank or fish! I highly recommend this place :) ????
Best place in town to get all your fish supplies. I just picked up a custom built tank - great quality! The Family that owns this place is friendly and knowledgeable.
The best place to buy high quality fish and corals! These guys are amazing
Good service and very helpful for my needs and knowledgeable.
Nice collection of fish ????
Great service
Amazing fish selection. Great knowledgeable staff.
Helpful, friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff. Great selection of fish and tanks. They custom build aquariums and have an abundant selection of salt water corals and fish. Took my daughters here to get their first tank/supplies and fish. The owner was great with my kids. I’ll only come here for my aquarium needs.
Poseidon almighty. A mini-ocean right in Scarborough. This shop absolutely astounded me. I was expecting it to be nice due to the work out into the front of the building, but when I saw the fish room my mind was absolutely blown. The cichlids, the guppies, the Anubias. MASSIVE cardinal and black tetras. Astounding prices. Then you enter the saltwater room. Floored. I'd you need a rose bubble tip anemone there is a batch that resemble rose tentacles spurting from galaxies. The fish are in great health and they carry very healthy advanced specimens such as elegence coral, Aussie torches, A MOORISH IDOL AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RIBBON EEL I'VE EVER SEEN! I've kept my Amazon tank running for a decade if not almost, and I haven't kept a reef since my first year of university. This store alone inspired me to begin reefkeeping again, and reefkeeper's hold the destiny of so many species in our rare hands. Do the oceans rivers and lakes a favour and shop at this beautiful rare family run shop. You will not regret it. Will return with pictures ASAP. Don't think, just do. P.S. Kingston road rules so many hidden gems.
Best LFS in Toronto. Great prices amazing staff and the best place to get coral. Well worth the visit.
best prices. a bit far but worth the trip if yer planning on getting great large sized pieces. staff are really friendly.
Great selection of fish, good price!
REASONABLE PRICE AWESOME SELECTION AMAZING FRIENDLY STAFF
He just bought three fishes for his wifey
Best saly water store.
Very knowledgeable and helpful! We were beginners when we started coming to NAFB for our saltwater fishes and corals. They were very helpful in informing us about what would work for our tank based on what we already had in there. They never sell you a coral or a fish that is not doing well, they always make sure their customers are completely satisfied. Once you start going here, it's like a second home. Great people, great vibes!
The owner of the place is AWESOME !!! If i would have time to type my whole experience with this store i would. My experience was plagued with bad luck but the owner, Jon, just stood by my side the whole way. He helped me bit time ! KUDOS to him and his staff for making my custom tank !! I really recommend this store to anyone !
We've got two young kids just starting with pet fish and small aquariums. Not only were the folks at NAFB willing to spend time to advise us on choosing exactly the right fish and supplies to get started, but they're always so helpful in answering our questions when we need help with our fish or aquarium environment. We've learned so much from them, and are thankful we found NAFB!
Staff extremely friendly and super helpful. Took their time to allow my daughter to pick what fish she wanted, showed super patience and caring attitude! Thank you kindly for making her dream of being a fish owner a reality.
Best aquarium in scarborough...in all respect
Pretty cool fish
Little hidden gem!
Amazing prices and service!
Already great advice and very helpful
Great guys, knowledgeable staff
They have good quality aquarium products that most other pet stores don't carry. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're having trouble finding it at other aquatic stores.
Great staff and custom aquariums
Very friendly and Knowledgeable.
Great deals on saltwater fish on boxing Day
They have plenty of marine animals to choose from and all your aquarium needs. It is a family owned business. Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
Great shop
Have never shopped here before- called regarding a zoas question and the staff was beyond helpful! If I’m ever down this way I will definitely be stopping in! Thanks again for the help!
These guys are the best. Super nice and knowledgeable
North American Fish Breeder's is what a family business is all about - what separates them from a chain of stores staffed by people that are only interested in selling you product without thought. The family there has taken my son's saltwater aquarium, which after almost a year was a complete mess, and guided him through starting from scratch. They patiently explained what he needed to do, gave him guidance, taught him patience, and now his tank is thriving. He has learned many life lessons from this, patience, research, understanding that there is no, "instant gratification". I can't say enough about how helpful NAFB is, how fantastic the entire family is, how they stand behind every fish and product they sell, and how willing they are to help out. If you want to get into this hobby, and want a partner, not someone that will sell you stuff you don't need and that won't live or thrive, then NAFB is the place you want to go - simply outstanding. Great service, great products, and excellent knowledge!
Good prices
Great
These guys really know their stuff. Would recommend 10/10.
Very good service
Very friendly staff. Male custom aquariums. Nice coral options
Great staff excellent customer service very helpful and informative. good prices good saltwater selection. I would highly recommend them much better than all other Big competitor's.
Super friendly service. Nice selection. Great advice.
Amazing, excellent customer service
Great fish selection.
Always a great place for coral.
Friendly staff. Healthy fishes.
These guys love the fish, they know their stuff and if they dont have it in stock they will bend over backwards for you. Got some gorgeous danios and albino tiger barbs. Love love love
Great staff, good stock, great member of the community
Great place and the guys there are super helpful! Great prices as well and huge selection of saltwater fish! Thanks NAFB!
Best costumer service in Toronto! Very helpful and knowledgeable staff! Great prices! I just got a 32g reff tank from them . Highly recommend them if you need help with your tank setup!
Amazing staff very friendly! Unbeatable prices , and nice selection of fish to choose from . If ever in the Kingston rd area be sure to stop In and check them out .
Recommend this place to anyone whos starting up a tank. Bought a Mandarin goby which I did not find anywhere else in the GTA. Service was fairly quick and very friendly people.
Great and friendly very knowledgeable and helpful staff great prices
Only place to go to get all your aquarium needs..family owned..friendly and very knowledgeable
Friendly staff
By far, realistic, knowledgeable family owned business. Very helpful in helping you choose what you are looking for. They are in this business for long time so they know what they are doing and they will help you to get where you want to go when it comes to aquariums.
Tonnes of LPS corals, and a lot of medications and other things you wouldn't find at other fish stores. The owner also keeps a lot of odds and ends needed to get a fish tank running.
Family based business. Deal with both fresh and saltwater livestock plus various aquarium accessories and fish food. Reasonable prices and good service.
Very helpful staff
Nice place to buy aquarium fish and accessories the guy was very helpful I asked him many questions and he was glad to answer me.
Been going there as a kid. Great people with great service.
Don't go Anywhere else before going here first. Friendly and knowledgeable
great place!
Great service an awesome prices
Friendly staff, just need to be wary of the marine fish they sell....not unusual to be sold with ich
Amazing collection of beautiful fishes and aquarium equipments
This is the best pet shop in the world.I bought a fish and I want to return and they said.And all the fish is affordable all the freshwater fish is under 20 dollars. Like oscars are like 10$.and the staff a very helpful knowledgeable and kind.even the saltwater fish is cheap it’s like 2 for 30$ when I went they had lots of baby fish.actully all of them were baby fish.I recommend everyone to got to nafb
Dirty. Sick fish. Clutter everywhere. Miserable staff. Surprised the place hasn't been shut down.
By far one of the best places in Ontario for fish, both salt water and freshwater. Their coral and invert selection is great, if you can get there before they are gone, as NAFB is the hidden gem of the reef keeping community, once they post their new livestock on their Facebook page the best corals quickly sell out. Also they provide custom tank service. I had my tank made by the owner John and he did and absolutely fantastic job. His sons are very friendly and helpful, it's nice to see a successful family owned and operated small business that gives a very personal approach that is more about helping the customer with the hobby then making money.
So kind and helpful
First off let me just say this is my first ever review. I never feel the need to review stores but I just felt like I needed to for this store. That's how bad it was. Worst aquatic store I've ever been to. No prices on a lot of equipment and the things that do have prices they are high. I should be able to browse your store and not have to ask you every 2 seconds what the price of something is. Buy a damn label maker. Multiple tanks with incorrect labels or only one label housing multiple species. For someone who knows what they are looking for this isn't a big deal but for people who are new to the hobby will have a difficult time figuring out what is what. The tanks are filthy and covered with algae. I would NEVER think of buying a fish from here and putting it in my tank. I would have no faith that the fish would 1 last and 2 not infect my tank. The entire store just needs to be cleaned in general. There is clutter everywhere along with garbage throughout the store. I honestly have no idea how this store is rated above 4...I certainly was very disappointed when I showed up expecting to be walking into at the very least a decent store. I don't know what other people see in this store but I certainly will not be back.
Great people
Great local place with attentive and caring staff
Absolutely the best place. Thanks guys.
Very good fish and anubias selection. But more importantly, excellent customer service! I just enjoy going here. By the way, they have 25% off of livestock today.
We have been going there from 1976 great family great products
Great place and Very helpful
Nice price fishes
Good people good store
Nice family run business.
Great place good money
Best ppl ever always happy to see you great fish knows there stuff I'll always return best customer service u could ask for and fish look healthy and good prices
These guys are extremely kind and knowledgeable. Pricing is pretty well impossible to beat for mari e livestock. A "go to" for me.... this is how you avoid getting taken to the cleaners in this hobby financially!! Highly recommend.
I am only buying my corals from here from now on. Great prices and very healthy coral, they acclimated to my tank in one day and have been healthy ever since. 10/10!!!
The family running this place is amazing and their fish are some high quality stuff. Just drop in, its a good place to check out even for fun
No stars. Charged my son $3.99 each for feeder goldfish. Told him he was out of the feeders. He got home, and it cost $30.00 for 7 feeder goldfish. Not wasting the gas to go back and return them. Shame on you.
Great selection of hard to find supplies and equipment. Only place I've come across that stocks uni-seals. Custom aquariums look well made and of better quality and materials than franchise stores. Very knowledgeable owner.
NAFB aquarium centre has been around as long as I can remember (I was raised in Scarborough in the '70s). This unassuming store has always stocked what I required, but full disclosure I am not not an aquatic aficionado but could find sufficient varieties, in stock to suit my needs. They have many, many tanks, with varieties of fish, mollusk, plants and amphibians. Including nocturnal varieties. My kids enjoy the experience, seeing their inventory and peering into every tank. However, the staff are always helpful and very knowledgeable, understanding the different characteristics and care requirements of the variety of species they carry. They have always been able to provide me with guidance whenever asked, leaving me informed and well-equipped. I will return and support my local business!
They have a great selection and always very kind
Just discovered this place recently. Compared to the big box stores, their prices are decent and have a great selection to choose from. Their fish are active and healthy. The people running this place are super friendly and knowledgable. They also have an amazing selection of coral reefs. This shop is a hidden gem.
Best prices in the GTA and nice people working there
Awesome hospitality
