The store provides exceptional service with a team of highly knowledgeable staff, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced aquarium enthusiasts. If you’re new to fishkeeping or managing a specific setup, their staff are adept at recommending the right fish based on your experience level, tank size, and current tank mates. They are dedicated to ensuring you get healthy fish, adhering to strict protocols before any fish leaves the store. The shop offers a wide array of aquarium-related products, including tanks of various sizes and features. Their collection is impressive, featuring both freshwater and saltwater species, including guppies, gouramis, clownfish, and cichlids. Additionally, they have a 25% in-store discount on corals. This location specializes exclusively in fish and aquariums, and does not stock items for other pets. Despite its modest exterior, the store is quite spacious, with clean, well-maintained tanks. The selection of fish and aquatic life is outstanding, and they also offer unique tank decorations, such as a battleship ornament. The overall experience was delightful, and we highly recommend a visit, even just to enjoy the impressive array of aquatic life on display.

I most often visit the Scarborough branch but went to North York because of the specials they were having that week. I was happy with the quick service and was impressed with the selection of fish available.

We love this place. You could come there and just have a blast watching fish. They have the best diversity of freshwater and marine fish. Just bought 5 more platy fish for our fish tank. Highly recommend Big Al's!

Amazing service! Emanuel and Mikayla have been extremely helpful helping me get everything set up with my 180gal freshwater community tank. Extremely knowledgeable about all of the plants and fish I added to the aquarium. Thank you!
