Tucked away in Richmond Hill, New York — apparently without much signage to guide you — The iFISH Store has quietly built a loyal following among freshwater aquarium enthusiasts across the country. This isn't a flashy retail showroom; it's a working fish store packed with clean tanks, vibrant stock, and a shipping operation that reaches hobbyists from Virginia to Chicago. The store's bread and butter is freshwater fish, with a strong reputation for healthy, colorful specimens.
Discus and cichlids are among the standout offerings, drawing serious collectors who trust the shop enough to recommend it to family members building dedicated tanks hundreds of miles away. Pond fish round out the selection for outdoor enthusiasts looking for quality stock. What truly sets The iFISH Store apart is its shipping game.
Customers consistently praise the careful packaging — sealed bags that don't leak, insulated boxes, and fish that arrive alive and thriving. Orders arrive promptly, and the included acclimation instructions show a store that cares about what happens after the box is opened. Repeat buyers report fish that look great not just on arrival day but weeks later, which speaks to the health of the livestock leaving this shop.
Walk-in visitors will find a friendly, helpful staff and a surprisingly deep inventory once they locate the entrance (seriously, they need a sign out front). The shop floor is lined with many well-maintained freshwater tanks, and the atmosphere is more hobbyist's workshop than polished pet chain — which is exactly the vibe that keeps regulars coming back. The online ordering option makes The iFISH Store accessible well beyond Queens, and their track record of successful shipments has earned them customers who buy often and stay loyal.
For anyone in the Richmond Hill area or shopping remotely for quality freshwater fish, discus, or cichlids, this unassuming storefront delivers — literally and figuratively.
