Always the quickest service and most knowledgable staff. Only place in the city I'll go for anything herp.
So friendly and knowledgeable!
Smart and friendly!!
They know there stuff here and there are tones of unique fish and reptiles here.
Very knowledgeable, friendly and caring staff. Chances are the staff there have their own snakes/fish/spiders and actually know how to care for your pet properly They want to make sure that you have everything you need to care for and have a happy pet. Lots of very unique fish and reptiles that you will have a hard time finding at your typical chain pet store.
Awesome for all my exotic pet needs and questions
Knowledgeable staff that tells the truth. They explained to me that turtles need a lot of space, and suggested better pets for my apartment.
Amazing! The best service and people in the city.
I love this place. The premise reptile salads are a life saver and the bug prices are great. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Super friendly place and lots of cool reptiles and fish available
Always great information and service. I wouldnt go to any other store for my reptile needs.
Excellent and knowledgable staff. They also carry different types of tarantulas that nowhere else has.
It's not a chain store. It's not shiny and colourful. In fact it looks like something from Bladerunner or Neuromancer. But the owner is an expert and the staff is knowledgeable. They all seem to be invested in their jobs rather than it being "just a job". Highly recommended.
Fantastic, friendly & knowledgeable staff. Truly care about your pet's well being and help any way they can. If you're looking for a place that goes above and beyond then look no further. They helped me nurse my sick beardie back to health and he's been thriving ever since. Thanks again guys!
Very nice place, great selection, especially considering the size, and the staff is very helpful. Not just a collection of goldfish and guppies on hand, but some stuff I'd be surprised to see at a box store. Would recommend for anyone looking for aquarium needs.
The most knowledgeable staff arround! Selection is a little lacking at times, but they are always willing to work with you.
Great service!
Awesome friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff! I’ve known Stu since I was a kid for what is probably well over 15 years now back when he was the fish department manager of a big box pet store! I have seen a few reviews here saying they are condescending and arrogant, that couldn’t be farther from the truth! They care for the well being of all the living creatures that come from either their store or others, if people can’t handle the truth that living things need specific care then they shouldn’t even bother trying to have these animals as pets. They are more than just pets, these animals very often see you as family, and if you can’t at the very least provide the required care, then your in the wrong hobby! It’s like the kinds of people who think keeping a betta in a simple little ornamental bowl with no filter or heater is okay…. WRONG! ???? betta fish are tropical, cold blooded fish who need a filter with slower moving waters and a heater to keep their waters consistently between 77-82 degrees Fahrenheit! They also need a tank that is no less than 5 gallons per betta! (Females if you want more in one tank!) Come on people and do your research! It’s not that hard! Sorry but my biggest pet peeve is sloppy/lazy pet owners who can’t even be bothered to give their pet the basic necessities for their proper care and longevity! This store is right when they refuse to sell an animal if they don’t feel the conditions are right! It’s about the the health, safety and happiness of the animal, not about profits! Rant over! Great store and great people running it!
Prairie Aquatics is not your run of the mill petstore! Great product selection and staff that know their stuff. Staff are always helpful and courteous. Well worth the drive to their out of the way location!
The staff is okay, tanks look like they have been through a war and back the pipes are nasty they have algae growing on them, I wouldn't buy salt water fish hear the tanks are not cleaned well, never get water testing hear they are garbage if you want a testing buy your own the testing station is so unorganized , they don't clean out dead fish for at least 3 days, THEY ARE WAY OVER PRICED.
One on one service, extremely knowledgeable
Super helpful! They know their stuff
Staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable in all aspects to proper health care of animals.
Amazing customer service and really know their stuff!
Fast service from helpful staff, with the occasional grump, but we're all human. The shop is well kept and the creatures get above adequate care. Always has stock of necessary foods and supplies. Very cool selections, wide variety of accessories, and all the necessities.
Knowledgeable staff exceptional service
Great place and great ppl
They really know their stuff, recommend them!
Can just say it's my happy place. Great knowledgeable staff.
A nice local store. The owner is knowledgeable but not the best person to speak to in my opinion. He can be a bit condescending but he knows what he is talking about. The other staff are excellent. They care about their work and the animals. Thank you to the wonderful man who let my daughter pet Squishy and your elder gecko.
Good knowledge
Passionate staff great quality fish and reptiles. 10/10 would go every weekend
Excellent customer service and the staff make you feel like family:)
Absolutely fantastic service! The owner is so knowledgeable on fish and everything else! I won't be buying my fish or fish supplies from anywhere else ever again! 10 stars!
Staff are extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. They also take the time to share their knowledge.
Great place for pet supplies
The gang here are really awesome and a wealth of knowledge!! Stu is so fantastic And helped immensely with the Transition of my panther chameleon from another source. The knowledge and supplies have kept him very happy. Hornworms are top notch when In stock!
Staffs and owners are always eager to help and are knowledgeable as well. They would treat you like a friend more than just a customer with excellent personal interaction. You could even just drop by to say hello without buying anything. They welcome everybody. This is truly the first LFS to go to if I ever have any Aquatic needs or questions. That reminds me to bring them some coffee and donuts next time I drop by the store.
I love to just walk around and look at the fish I can't get one though to many cameras
Is this place open sundays
Awesome place if you're looking for pets specially geckos and reptiles!
Great place for everyrhing reptile, aquatic and even tarantulas.
My go to for all pet products! Amazing, friendly and knowledgeable staff!
They have a nice selection of fish and aquatic plants for a decent price. My betta fish is beautiful and I will definitely be going back. Great little business!
Super helpful and knowledgeable. These guys (and gal) are passionate about their hobby.
See something new every visit.
Very helpful and knowledgeable
Great Staff, however, I have been there before and it was clean and beautiful looking. After, the third time, the store was filthy, a bathroom was opened and looked like black mold forming the walls/room. Water pipes outside of the fish tanks were green (algae). Disgusting and inhumane. So, much violations, I hope they clean up.
Great help in getting setup, answering questions both in the store and calling in at the end of the day! Staff are very knowledgable and obviously care about the animals.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff!
So I have gone to this store 3 times now and each time I feel attacked on my knowledge and my friends' knowledge, some of which have been professionally keeping both freshwater and saltwater fish for YEARS. They tried telling me that they had a goldfish get up to 20" long and the world record for the largest goldfish is 18.7" long. Also they told me that weather loaches get up to 22" long just today when they only ever reach 12" long maximum in captivity ever. Look elsewhere if you go in for a certain species and know what you want as they won't sell you any fish without a water test and you have to go through their little questionnaire. Also their products are overpriced and their betta fish look almost dead. I see multiple dead fish in their tanks and it's common knowledge to remove any dead fish immediately from the tank. It's a shame because they turn people away and those people choose places like Petsmart for their fish.
I recommend this place to anyone who is interested in owning a reptile or fish. I have purchased both and have always left happy. I always deal with Stw as he's very knowledgeable with his reptiles. I live in Calgary and still buy my stuff from him. Great place!
The people who work here are very professional and their store is very well kept. Gave me great information and helped me a lot.
Great selection of aquarium driftwood.
Great store with helpful staff. They build custom aquariums here as well, so if there's something particular you want they can make it.
Have been trying to get a specific fish for some time now. I understand wanting to get fish to good homes but at least share the results of the test (since my at home tests are in the desired range) instead of ordering us back.. again. I know it's my first time using your location but that doesn't mean I'm new to the hobby. Seems like a lot of newcomers are being turned away from the idea of fish keeping after coming here as well after reading some reviews.
Very busy but staff was quick and helpful so I didn't have to stay for too long. No masks were worn by any staff or customers while I was there but hand sanitizer was available.
The staff was courteous and helpful
Good place to shop ????
Amazing place for anything fish or reptile related. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly :)
The best store in Regina to go to for all your exotic pet needs. Employees are all friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
I've been going to P.A.E. for nearly 4 years now after a friend's older sister told me about it. Stu and the gang are amazing people and are extremely dedicated to providing stellar customer service. They treat you almost like family once you become a regular and like a good friend if it's your first time in. 10/10 would recommend to any reptile keeper in RegIna and the surrounding area.
Cool fish and beautiful snakes. Lots of add on for your tanks, one stop shop here
Friendly knowledgeable staff, they also sell parts for filters or can order them in if not in stock. Store was dirty could use some cleaning.
Love these guys!
Top notch service, products, and even information! Had some questions about fish and they were super knowledgeable
Great selection of fish, a little pricey and the tanks are a little dirty.
Chicken has been improving lately.
This store is great!! The staff is very informative and helpful! Awesome experience every time!
Extremely good advice, personable staff, and a general air of enthusiasm
Awesome place to visit! Huge selection of items for any reptile/aquatic lover. Alex was awesome!
Very friendly and professional guys. If you look to buy your first time aquarium and everything what you need for this I would definitely recommend.
Great place knowledgeable staff.
Super helpful
I like this place.
Its a neat store with a great selection of fish spiders and reptiles as well as supplies for them
The people here are way more knowledgable than any other pet store about fishes. Great customer service and advices. Love the place and highly recommend it.
Great selection of animals and aquatic plants, everything looks very healthy and well taken care of. Beautiful store, very friendly and helpful staff.
They have the best selection of freshwater plants in the province. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Their knowledge is bigger than the store itself! You don't feel like "another customer", they will spend time with you even if you are not going to make a purchase. They try to guide you in the correct way that suits your needs. That way you're buying what you need instead of what you think you need.
Awesome place! A great place if you are looking for a reptile or fish. Staff is very trusting and very knowledgeable. They go above and beyond a normal pet store and gives you a "at home" feeling. Really cared about my questions and gave in depth answers.
Best place to go for helpful information about reptiles and arachnids. They really care about their animals!
Very helpful with a sick gecko
Owner is very knowledgable and passionate, staff are always friendly and helpful!
Awesome customer service, they really know their stuff.

They have it all! Feeders like mice, crickets, worms, supplements. And they have lots of fish to choose from and as well as reptiles! 1# shop in Regina !
This place is awesome. So professional!!! People taught me how to properly take care fish. My fish are growing nice and plants are super happy!
Friendly, smart staff, many aquatic animals, wide verities of reptiles.
Prarie aquatics always has friendly staff that knows what they are talking about. They can help you with absolutely anything you need. This busy little store is awesome
Great little exotic pet store with knowledgeable staff
We got a corn snake here and the staff were able to help us with everything we needed. We knew what to expect and what to do when we got her home.
I've been going to PAE for 3 years. Stewart and his crew are knowledgable, professional and friendly. They provide me with information on reptile and freshwater aquarium care that is tailored to my individual needs and back their recommendations with scientific peer reviewed literature as well as decades of experience as reptile and aquaria owners. On the rare occasion I visit other pet stores in Regina, employees there invariably defer or outright recommend I take my questions ("How are your feeder nice euthanized?" "Is that plant a low light or medium light species?) and needs (lighting systems that will maintain live freshwater plants) to PAE. Choosing PAR is all about trusting them to give me the best info, creatures and care. And if they don't know the answer to one of questions, trustingnth to say so, then look it up or ask other experts to find the answer.
Great place with very knowledgable staff, they really know their stuff
Pros: Great first impression clean building inside and out. Walking in store was well.maintained and clean. Workers where knowledgeable about what they had and where more than willing to inform me as well as others about water conditions along with what I might be buying for live stock. Very Fair prices! ( my wholesaler cost more.) Cons: They where limited on supplies due to financial setbacks ( perfectly understood) Could have had more food options as I found nothing for my needs. There fish supplies was under stocked and only had the most basic of fish for general population. All around had a great customer experience and was very impressed to have the Oener or Employee talk to me about the various fish and there needs. MOST EXCELLENT SERVICE! Will return again.
Helpful staff
Love this place and wish i knew about it before i bout my lizard they have very healthy reptiles,fish and tarantulas. They also have a great selection of cricket sizes would recommend this place for anybody
Awesome place to see exotic pets and supplies
Great team. Very knowledgable and caring.
Very friendly lots of knowlege
Just awesome staff! They took the time to bring out a few neat reptiles to let my 2 young girls see up close and touch. We really enjoyed our experience visiting and will support with any exotic pet needs we have.
Very friendly staff. Great place just to check out. Knowledge about there products.
Best place to buy fish in the city. The staff are super helpful and friendly.
Very helpfull
Just had the most excellent customer service here. The gentleman we spoke with was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us great advice. We will be back!
Very knowledgeable staff. If they aren't sure they will tell you they don't know. You can always count on them for good information.
Excellent, knowledgeable service!
Great variety
Love This Place
Friendly and knowledgeable service
Amazing and very knowledgeable staff. 100% would recommend! Stu and his staff are super knowledgeable and are very friendly people to talk to. They have quite a range of Fish & Exotics and are willing to answer all questions you may have. I would certainly recommend this shop first if you are in the Regina area.
Super helpful!!! Very friendly! Wont go anywhere else!
Very knowledgeable staff but stock was lacking.
Wow!!! Fabulous service and amazingly friendly staff. I highly recommend this place.
Awesome store. Great staff
Cool place for reptiles
I did not follow the "know it alls" recommendation and therefore was refused a warranty. While I was waiting for the fish I was told I should not buy, the "know it all" proceeded to have several conversations, making me wait longer for my fish. That was my first and last time in that store.
Great customer service .
Wonderfully helpful and kind workers.
Always friendly service
The staff and selection are amazing. They really know their stuff
Great selection and very friendly and knowledable staff
The best place for exotics
Love the crew here, great people!
Stu and his crew are very knowledgeable in reptiles and fish. The store is a very friendly place. It's the only place we will go for our pets.
Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. Stu is the Go-to reptile expert in the city !
The owner Stu is very willing to talk to anyone and offer his advice and opinions. He is very knowledgeable, but his personal opinions do get in the way of the service he provides in some cases. He has a very specific way that he feels aquariums should be kept. He also refuses to stock some fish based on his own feelings about them. Fair enough. The livestock and plants are quite good, though you must be careful because they will sell you fish from a tank with an Ich outbreak. Also, there are no prices marked on anything. Overall it's a good shop and i'll continue to go there for things.
Helpful informative and simply amazing honestly
Went in to get some info on Bearded Dragons as my daughter and I are wanting to get one in the next few months. I didn't catch the girls name(we were there around 4:30 on the 25th), but she was super helpful. She gave us an info sheet and drew out a map of how the enclosure should be set up. We had orginally wanted a baby, but after talking with her we will definitely adopt an older rescue!
Amazing people, very friendly and go above and beyond with their customer service. This is my new place to go for my pet needs!
Excellent supply of cork bark????
While they state they “cater to the seasoned hobbyist, newcomers and everyone in between”- that is certainly not the case. I am a beginner, and every time I have been in the store the staff are condescending and pretentious. If you don’t have the most expensive and top of the line equipment, they make you feel like you might as well not have it at all. My tank, fish, and plants are thriving- despite being told the lighting is pretty much garbage. The staff may be knowledgeable, but this is no way to treat customers and people who are trying out a new hobby. My family has also had the same issues, being told they’re “abusing fish” by putting them in a 20G vertical tank.
Super knowledgeable and personable staff! Awesome experience!
Amazing customer service they really know there stuff very knowledgeable
Knowledgeable and friendly staff
Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful staff.

best pet shop in town.
Awesome store with great staff who all know their stuff!
this has been my main place for pet supplies for over a year. I have never walked out of this store feeling like i was ripped off, or told the wrong information. Highly recommended.
Very frienly and helpful stuff. If you want to know anything about fish or snakes and lizards this is your place
Awesome coral selection at a great price! Very friendly staff!
Good service
Very helpful they answer all your questions you want to know
Great place. Variety of exotic animals. Friendly and accommodating staff.
First time there, but had talked to them on the phone before. Very knowledgeable on phone and in person and helped educate me a lot as I setup a second tank at home.
Really cool place, knowledgeable people!
Need more fish
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff!!!
Great people! Very knowledgeable!
Not had luck with service... It should not be 30+ minutes for bugs because they are talking with other staff in the back... They know what they are talking about... I just don't get the feeling of service unless you are a personal friend of a staff member. Hope this review can help they expand and grow for the future. Best of luck.
They kept my gecko safe while I was gone
Very knowledgeable staff great selection of fresh water and salt water fish
Great local pet place
Extremely helpful and caring staff, really friendly and informative. If you love reptiles and aquariums, or are just starting out on your own aquarium, these are the people to go see! You can tell they love what they do, and are there to help every step of the way! I started out as a rookie, not knowing the first thing about aquariums, and now have a happy and thriving salt water tank, full of Corals, Fish, Crabs, and Shrimp.
Very knowledgeable staff will help you with any questions you have.
Awesome, very Friendly People. Buying a Spider Fri.
Manager very knowledgeable. Service normally really when dealing with the manager
Awesome knowledgeable staff, great products
Fantastic store and knowledgeable staff. Always worth stopping whether for reptiles or fish. Best selection with the best prices!
As far as "no b.s." knowledge and help, this is easily the best place to get your info or to buy anything aquatic or reptile related within the city. That is not so much of an opinion as it is an observation, having purchased and perused all the stores in the city.
Went here looking for something obscure. They were freindly and knowledgeable.
Nice little local pet shop. Deals in fresh and salt aquatics as well as herps. One of only a few independant shops lefts in town. Important to support these places!
Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff. Always my first stop for questions and products.
Best price for crickets and a great selection of other feeder bugs.
Very helpful, knowledgeable and fiendly staff highly recommend
Very knowledgeable staff. The only place I would recommend for fish and reptiles.
Staff is knowledgable but I find it lacks selection. Only a few aquariums, 2 types of substrate, and not much else in stock. My biggest gripe is they are more protective of a fish, than a nurse letting a baby go home from the hospital. They WONT let you buy a fish unless they are comfortable with your set up. Want a betta in a big bowl? Nope. They wont sell you one. Have a tank newly set up? You're not getting fish either, cause it's not "cycled" long enough... I like the store, the prices are good, staff is knowledgable, but their policies have something to be desired.
Great service! Healthy fishies, love this place !
I am so grateful to the amazing staff at Prairie aquatics! They are so caring and knowledgeable. The passion they have for the animals is second to none. Thank you
Good time really helpful
Great place
Not happy with cs
Stu is great to chat with!
This by far is the BEST pet store in Regina!!! Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and they really care about your pets and their well-being!! Stu is the ????, if he can't answer your question on fish, amphibians, or reptiles, it means you made the creature up in your head! Lol
ok
My boyfriend and I are just beginning with a fish tank. Brand new to the whole process! We were greeted by a thin person, no older than 25 and couldn't be younger than 18, with a snake around his neck. He asked us what we were looking for and explained our situation. Well he immediately jumped to being condescending and pretentious. He was not helpful at all and I know he could tell we were beginners. We left feeling confused and almost attacked. We will not be going back. Ps. Our tank is ready for fish now
Love this place.
6 stars if it was an option. Very very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Definately will go back and reccomend to anyone with reptiles or aquatic creatures!
Such a great place! Staff are knowledgable and super friendly!!
Great staff, decent prices on everything!!
Love this place stu is the bomb really knows his stuff
Very nice people know there stuff .friendly have what you need .I would go back there.
Great place for reptile and aquarium supplies. Locally owned by knowledgeable hobbyists.
Great store with great staff. Very helpful with my question. Definitely recommend.
Very Poor Service I know these owners and most of the staff, but I can't seem to get any attention when I want something. I do like to support our local businesses, but hey if I have to stand around like a zombie waiting for service I'll take my business somewhere else. Too many times I have been in this store and got poor service, many people around but they are so busy treating the business like a bloody petting zoo. It will be a very long time before I ever do business there again.
Best pet store in regina
Very knowledgeable staff, great source of information and reasonable prices.
Great place for tropical fish
Very friendly staff. Very knowledgeable. Just the best pet store in regina.
