Pet Resources on Walton Avenue in the Bronx is the kind of neighborhood institution that earns loyalty through consistency and genuine expertise. While it's a full-service pet store covering everything from dogs and reptiles to snakes and even Venus fly traps, the aquarium section stands out as a real draw for fishkeepers in the area. The freshwater fish selection gets frequent praise from regulars, and it's easy to see why people keep coming back multiple times a week.
Staff member Jayden has earned a dedicated following for his willingness to teach customers the ins and outs of the hobby — one reviewer credits him with helping them successfully set up and maintain a 55-gallon planted aquarium. That kind of hands-on mentorship is hard to find at chain stores, and it speaks to the shop's culture of treating customers like community rather than transactions. Live plants are a notable strength here, with the store stocking a variety that catches the eye of both aquarists and general plant enthusiasts.
The planted tank expertise runs deep among the staff, making this a solid destination for anyone looking to build or expand an aquascape in the Bronx. Pricing is consistently called out as competitive — several reviewers note that Pet Resources beats the big-box alternatives on cost while offering more knowledgeable service. The store is sizable enough to carry a broad inventory of pet supplies and equipment, though calling ahead isn't recommended since the staff stays busy on the floor.
A visiting veterinarian comes weekly, though experiences with vet services have been mixed. The grooming services, on the other hand, receive strong reviews for quality and professionalism. For Bronx fishkeepers who want a local shop with real freshwater expertise, fair prices, and staff who will actually walk you through setting up a planted tank, Pet Resources delivers where the chains fall short.
It's a community fixture that has earned its repeat customers over years of dependable service.

If you love pet snakes, this is the place. The only pet shop I know that even sells the Venus fly trap.

I’m here multiple times a week for my pets. The staff is the best, they take the time to answer the questions, and teach me everything I need to know. The selection of fish is great and the prices are unbeatable. I’m glad I live so close! Shout out to Jayden, he’s thought me so much, I’m now running a 55 planted aquarium.
