Aquarium Center

Sharks and mermaids, educational, entertaining and exciting place for my grandchildren and I. Plenty of easy secured parking face painting for the children. I didn’t see any adults getting them so I say for the children but for me, it’s the hot dog benders on the way out. It’s worth a stop.

I’ve been visiting the Aquarium Center for several years and have never had a bad experience. The staff is always helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable - they’re happy to answer any questions about your aquarium setup. The selection of fish is great with many rare species you won’t find elsewhere, all kept in clean well maintained tanks. The variety of plants available for planted tanks is also exceptional. The best of its kind in South Jersey!

This place is the best aquarium store in the area. Because of this, it does tend to get crowded (and there is really no system in place to handle this). I have to advise to make sure you have everything you paid for before leaving the store. I had the misfortune of leaving behind a cup of Red Root Floater and didn’t realize it until I was 40 minutes away (driving home). When I called from my car, I was totally expecting to hear something like “oh yeah, we see it on the counter.” Instead the person who answered the call told me that she spoke to the staff at the register and they said they had put the Red Root Floaters in the bag that they had put my Parrot Feather in. I was so disappointed. This was not true. I had seen the staff member put it in a cup for me prior to taking it up to the register. No one put anything in that bag. I took a picture in my car (included with this review). I’m not sure how they could have gotten confused about someone putting it in the bag. I had to tell them that they did not put it in my bag. The person on the phone said she’d give me a credit…but sounded skeptical about what I was claiming. So now I guess they think I pulled a scam for a $5 plant. I wish I would have noticed at the store. It’s tough to go back to a place where they suspect you’re dishonest. I don’t want to even follow up about the Red Root. So, don’t make the same mistake I made. Check your stuff before leaving.

Hands down the best aquarium center period. The staff is so nice and very helpful. They direct you on what will work well in your tank and what to avoid. If your thinking about setting up a tank going here is a must.

We stopped in to get some live plants for my husband's fish tank. Prompt service, everything is separated and labeled. It can tend to get pricey but if you just get what you need, great place to shop for aquarium needs.
