Kissena Aquarium Inc

Wow owner Sam as created a under water paradise here, the rare fishes are amazing here, a must visit

Small, well stocked freshwater fish store. They also have a small marine section with fishes and corals. Friendly and prompt service. Bought some Panda Corydoras who are thriving

This shop owner Jack is super loving and caring guy . He has done a great job of taking care of these fishes . The quality of my betta fishes are superb. The vitality is excellent . They are much better than I buy from online . All survive more than one year and half . My online ones are 3-6 months lifespan. This pet shop owner really knows what they are doing - a professional pet store . This owner is someone you can put your trust in . I highly recommend them . No.1 pet store in the Queens.

It's nice to look through and there is a lovely cat (that is surprisingly thin, honestly). There is a pretty good selection and it's leagues better than the pet store on Northern Blvd and Main St (well, since the last time I've been) but the one by SkyView Mall (Monster Aquarium) is just nicer. A few warning signs. I have only rarely ever had ick before ... Maybe once or twice but it's been so long and it was so rare it's truly hard to remember. I'm pretty sure my fish were received with Ick and it took over and I lost the fish I bought (no over stocking issues or water issues even though a newly cycled tank). I should have noticed there was an issue as when the owner netted the fish, one literally exploded from the stomach. The owner made a joke "not that one.. heh" and I was so traumatized even though I had reservations I continued the purchases. When I went back the owener new what the problem was and sold me Ick medicine which was inefficient and over priced (by 200%) I will visit and look around and may by small items if I really need it (it's local) but fish and live items will be purchased at Monster Aquarium, one of the other good aquarium shops on Northern Blvd or if I purchase fish from Aquarium I will quarantine new fish and medicate animals on the assumption they are ill. Kissena Aquarium is less expensive (no taxes if paying by cash) and if you quarantine and treat your fish you should be okay, just be warned.

Almost missed this place because they are located at the basement and their stair entrance is narrow. Diversity is remarkable but some of the fishes are sickly so be careful in buying.
