With over 1,100 reviews and a 4.7 rating, this family-legacy pet store has become the go-to destination for fishkeepers across northwestern Pennsylvania. The aquatics section is the heart of the operation. Rows of crystal-clear tanks house both freshwater and saltwater fish that reviewers consistently describe as vibrant and healthy — a stark contrast to the cloudy tanks and listless stock found at some competitors. The selection runs deep, with enough variety to satisfy seasoned hobbyists while remaining approachable for newcomers setting up their first aquarium. Equipment and tank options are well-stocked at fair prices, and the store carries specialty items like axolotl supplies and hermit crab gear that you simply won't find at big-box retailers in the Erie area. What truly sets Buzz n B's apart is the staff's genuine expertise. Bring in a water sample and they'll test it on the spot, walking you through exactly what adjustments your tank needs. Employees like Susan, Lilly, and Paige get called out by name in reviews for their patience and depth of knowledge — whether they're discussing aquarium chemistry, recommending the right food for a new puppy, or giving an impromptu lesson on ferret care while cradling one in their arms. Local fish breeders trust the store enough to bring their stock directly here. Beyond fish, Buzz n B's is a full-spectrum pet shop with birds (including a charismatic large bird who says hello), reptiles, small animals, and exotic invertebrates like emperor scorpions and tarantulas. The store also supports the local community through rescue fundraisers and low-cost spay/neuter clinics. The enclosures are meticulously maintained and the atmosphere feels more like visiting a knowledgeable friend's collection than shopping at a retail store. For Erie-area aquarists and pet lovers alike, it's the real deal. ## Specializations - **Water Types**: Freshwater, Saltwater - **Livestock & Products**: Axolotls, Invertebrates, Aquarium Equipment, Dry Goods - **Services**: Water Testing, Consultation - **Known For**: Premium Equipment, Knowledgeable Staff, Beginner Friendly, Healthy Fish ## Highlights - Crystal-clear freshwater and saltwater tanks with visibly healthy fish - Free water testing with detailed guidance on improving tank conditions - Specialty supplies including axolotl gear and items not found at chain stores - Staff frequently praised by name for patience and deep aquatic knowledge - Draws dedicated customers from over two hours away ## Customer Reviews **"Robby Strobby"** - 5/5 - 9 hours ago > These guys know what's up!

From hermit crabs, to axolotl supplies and so much more they have what you need. Their friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff will help you with kind service, first hand know how and zero pressure. I love shopping local with this store! **"Michael Fachetti"** - 5/5 - a month ago > By far the best and coolest pet store in town. It's worth going just to see the animals. I've raised an Emperor scorpion Becky and a Chilean rose hair tarantula Pedro from them. They we're both extremely healthy and friendly as are the rest of the pets there. Great for exotic collectors, but functions as a kibbles and bits pets store as well. Don't take your kids to the zoo, take them to buzz and b's to get them a really nice pet the can enjoy and learn about nature with. Pet friendly as well. **"Jerimiah Booz"** - 5/5 - a month ago > Very clean super staff and prices are great we drive over an hour just to go there rather a franchise ## Nearby Stores - [Sea Cave](https://www.fishstores.org/pennsylvania/erie/sea-cave) - Erie, PA - 4.8/5 - [Amazonia Tropical Fish](https://www.fishstores.org/pennsylvania/philadelphia/amazonia-tropical-fish) - Philadelphia, PA - 5.0/5 - [Aquarium Xpress](https://www.fishstores.org/pennsylvania/lewisberry/aquarium-xpress) - Lewisberry, PA - 5.0/5 - [Felicity's Pet Supplies](https://www.fishstores.org/pennsylvania/bellefonte/felicitys-pet-supplies) - Bellefonte, PA - 5.0/5 - [Main Line Coral Gardens](https://www.fishstores.org/pennsylvania/malvern/main-line-coral-gardens) - Malvern, PA - 5.0/5 - [Abrams & Weakley General Store for Animals](https://www.fishstores.org/pennsylvania/harrisburg/abrams-and-weakley-general-store-for-animals) - Harrisburg, PA - 4.9/5 --- *Source: [FishStores.org](https://www.fishstores.org/pennsylvania/erie/buzz-n-bs-aquarium-and-pet-shop)* *Last updated: February 7, 2026*
