I have a 180gal African 120gal South American and a 75gal community aquarium. I come here for all of my fish keeping needs. The staff is always very friendly and hard at work maintaining the tanks. The owner Craig is very knowledgeable. I had an issue with a drop in my PH and his advice was really helpful. If there is one problem it’s that the stock is so awesome it’s hard for me to choose. I highly recommend this place.

Wow! Craig is amazing, and the rest of his team. This is the place to come not just for fish and aquarium necessities …. But the knowledge is invaluable. I feel like I get a personalized education and learn something new each time I set foot in here. I have an 8 gallon tank with danios that was looking a little dingy because of the algae … I came looking for an algae eater, thinking more along the lines of an almano shrimp. Craig recommended a hillstream loach, because they won’t grow beyond their current size - making it ideal for an 8 gallon. I never knew such a little creature existed, and I’m SO happy. This new addition is now my favorite 🤩 💕… Not to mention, I was looking for a sponge to stop my fish from going into the back of my tank, and Craig grabbed some filter material and gave me a piece free of charge. Just because he is that kind of guy. …. The service is top notch! This place should really have their own TV show because it’s so fabulous. It has everything you know you need, and all of the things you don’t know you need! Save yourself the stress of researching everything on your own - just come here. You’ll be well taken care of, and your fish will thank you! 🐠💕

They have an incredible selection of African, South, Central American Cichlids. They also have oddball specialty fish...large sizes.They are great with Saltwater fish too...can you believe that.They have every type of custom tank...that they fabricate themselves. Craig also does outside service to so many customers.All around a special aquarium store.

I can not recommend Beital's Aquarium highly enough. We have worked with Craig and the rest of his team for many years. Recently we moved into a new home and decided that we missed the tank in our old home. We spoke to Craig and told him what we were looking for. He had the exact tank we wanted to compliment our decor. He was present of the delivery of the new tank and chose the most perfect fish for our tank. The service team that comes to care for our tank in incredible.They work neatly and are so knowledgeable. If you are looking for an aquarium for your home or business, I would not hesitate in choosing Beital's.

I bought a 300 gallon used tank off FB marketplace and it started leaking about 6 months after I set it up. I hired Beital’s to reseal it and they went above and beyond with the repairs. Craig and his team are no-nonsense and do things the right way. He also followed up to make sure I was happy with everything and my fish were doing okay. I highly recommend Beital’s if you need anything aquarium related!

Wonderful selection of healthy fish among everything 2 do with aquariums!! Love this place 💔 until 10 of my fish died due 2 some type of bacteria about 5 days later after introducing his aquarium water 2 mine!! Now there's no way 2 prove this but no one can tell me different I've had my tank well over 7 years n NEVER had any issues ever except the normal stuff like nitrate a little high or ammonia high or cloudy water when I first started but never anything like this!! The only thing I did was introduce his water n fish 2 my tank after specific directions 2 do so by him!! Smh, I'm so devastated 😢😞 💔 over 300$ 4 7 fish wasted!!! N my Catfish n bumblebees I raised from little babies 2 10 inches n 6 inches DEAD!

I have been a customer for over 10 years . This past week we had our 4th tank installed at our new home. This tank is beyond spectacular. The attention to detail is second to none . Craig and is team not only came to my house prior to purchase to discuss, measure and select the tank but also installed it personally over several days. We look forward to years of enjoyment from this tank . Thank you once again.

Craig and his associates have been coming to my home to maintain my 225 gallon marine tank for about two years. Before deciding on Beitals, we tried several companies in the area and often felt their primary interest was making as much money as they could each time they came, not the wellbeing of the tank. But not Craig! His associates do an excellent job are very trustworthy. If you have a problem he will try to address it ASAP. He even listened helped me problem solve when he was sick with Covid. I enjoy working Beital's and would not trust my fishies to anyone else!

GREAT Aquarium store! Craig Beital is a true expert in his field with a heart of gold. Not only do they specialize in salt and freshwater fish, tank set ups, and ponds, they have also found it in their hearts to adopt 4 Macaw exotic birds, nurturing them lovingly through their anxieties created from their prior environment. Gavin is wonderful to work with. Knowledgeable, attentive, kind, and it is evident he takes pride in what he does and cares for the fish/animals and his employment. The additional staff that provides the tank maintenance are so professional, trustworthy, and always seeking customer satisfaction. Beitals is my #1 recommended Aquarium store!

If you are serious about getting the right aquarium and the best information and aquarium products like fish, food, gravel, pumps and the like at very good prices then Beitals is the BEST place to go. I have been a client of Beitals for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. They are really the only game in town when it comes to aquarium items and service.

I have been going to Beitals for almost 30 years. Absolutely the best. Recommend for all fish needs and especially for koi ponds. He also maintains my office tank which is a patient favorite. Recommended without any hesitation!!

The team at Beital built and installed a breathtakingly beautiful 200 gallon marine mixed reef tank at my estate in New Jersey. They were able to do the build and deliver in half the time promised by others in the midst of COVID pandemic and all the logistical challenges that it presented. At the all-day install, they were professional, clean, painstaking and patient. They also maintain the tank - which was deemed too difficult by other big name companies in the area.The level of service and responsiveness is unmatched. On one occasion, while I was out of the country, there was an accident in my tank room that wreaked havoc on the system. Craig, the owner, personally responded to my urgent calls and had a team on site at my house within an hour!Beitel's Aquariums has consistently met and exceeded my expectations.

This is such a great fish store. They have literally EVERYTHING you need to build a beautiful fish tank. There are literally wall to wall tanks full of fish, reptiles and even birds. The staff was really nice and helpful and answered all of our questions.If saltwater fish are your thing, this is the place for you. They have a huge assortment and saltwater fish scattered throughout a several tall walls of tanks. So many beautiful and interesting fish to check out. We were there looking at Coral rocks to add to our tank and they didnt disappoint! There were so many to choose from.. every shape and size you can imagine. We ended up buying several rocks and our tank is simply gorgeous.I didnt know you werent allowed to take pics of the fish. Im a newbie so I was unaware that it could stress out the fish. I took a couple pics before I noticed the sign. (oops!) I wasnt using a flash so Im pretty sure I didnt do any damage to any fish though.We will definitely be back for more fish or accessories for our tank very soon.

I've been to a lot of 'fish' stores. And a few aquarium stores. This.... This is a place where the owner has a passion for what he does and excels at it. Craig is THE most knowledgeable person I have EVERY spoken to about all things aquarium. The staff are great. Fish are healthy and beautiful. This is the 110 cichlid tank that he put together for us. We could not be happier. Everything Beitals does is top..... top notch quality. I included a door in the background of one of the photos and the china cabinet in the other so you can get 'perspective' on the beauty of the tank. Sometimes an aquarium shot that is up tight on the tank gives you no perception of what it looks like in the room. Our tank is absolutely beautiful. Note - most of the fish in the tank were from our previous tank, not from Beitals ( a couple are ) Craigs fish are much more colorful, FYI. When we get more fish or anything to do with our aquarium, it will be at Beitals. serious.....

Salt water aquarium fish are healthy and in appropriate tank conditions, all freshwater fish are over crowded and sickly with some having tattered fins and even missing eyes. The freshwater tropical fish are packed in to aquariums - not what you would be looking for in a place that puts their animals health as top priority. The large Macaws have a good cage sizes, but their large loss of feathers indicates their needs are not being met and are stressed out.Maybe more staff that are knowledgeable in animal and fish care could help maintain and improve animal conditions.

We just installed a custom tank built by Craig Beital. After months of searching for a master aquarium builder I found a retired builder who told me he can recommend Beitals Aquarium without reservation. We called set up appointment and saw the most outstanding Aquarium store and Mr. Beital with his associate Amanda helped us put together the plan for biggest custom turtle habitat we could bring into our sub level townhouse room requiring going down a narrow staircase, a hallway and a right turn. He set up the plan for custom cabinet, custom canopy, pumps, heaters, filters and lighting which provide basking and UV lighting for turtle health. Today this plan was finally completed with the delivery and installation. The team of 6 lead by Adam safely managed the tight entrances and stairs setting up everything in a professional manner. After installing Adam patiently explained and showed me how to operate and maintain the equipment. The electrical is neat and clean. The programmable lighting was explained and I can customize it to suit weekday and weekend schedules. I was encouraged to call anytime I had questions and assured they are here to stay and will be available to help anytime in the future. I will schedule in the future to learn a system for cleaning the gravel efficiently. A turtle habitat is considerably more complex than a fish aquarium. Craig's recommendations were on the mark. My turtles will be moving in this weekend.I can recommend his service from planning to installation and maintenance if desired. The system is on just a few hours so the water is still a bit cloudy. I include pictures right after the installation. Maybe I'll add more pictures later when my four turtles move in. We are very happy with the high quality of the cabinet and canopy as well.We needed a custom and unique setup and decided quality had to be a high priority. Not cheap but executed perfectly and high value. Will provide decades of turtle pet joy.

Ive been a loyal customer of Beitala for 25 years, and I don’t know which I love more, the incredible selection of fish (freshwater, salt, coral, koi) tanks, and dry goods, or the one of a kind owner, Craig. There is nobody in the tri-state area more knowledgable about anything having to do with every aspect of this hobby, and his personality alone is worth the visit. Unfortunately for me, I moved to Florida 3 years ago, and I'm lost. There's no place in southeast Florida that remotely compare to Beitals. Love and miss you Craig!

We had a problem with our pond and lost almost all of our fish. Craig worked with us to fix the problem and restock our Koi. The staff were empathetic and patient with us while we chose new fish. All the fish in store look happy and healthy, prices are reasonable and selection was nice. I left Beital's very happy and l look forward to visiting and buying more Koi in the future.

Would not recommend purchasing fish here. Fish conditions are poor with tanks over crowded. Fish are sickly and birds are shivering from stress. They have “no picture or video taking” signs up for a reason.

This Aquarium company is by far one of the best places to consider if you are looking to add an aquarium to your home! Impeccable service! They were attentive from the minute I walked in showing me the amazing collection of water creatures they have. My grandson and I were so impressed we had to get our own custom tank. The service was quick, they were clean and super patient in explaining and giving instructions as I am new to aquariums. Thank you Beital and crew for adding beauty to my home and for such great service!! 😊

If you are in the aquarium or pond hobby. Beital’s Aquarium is the place to go. Craig has the best selection of fresh/saltwater/koi fish anywhere! If he doesn’t have it, it doesn’t exist. His service teams are awesome as all. I’ve been going here for over 20 years. Great place and very knowledgeable staff.John Di Lapi

I purchased a 220 gallon tank 2 years ago from Beital's and just added a 110 gallon tank in December from them. No one has a better selection of fish or supplies and the owner, Craig, is there every time I'm there. A big box store can't compete with this level of personalized service and years of experience. Craig is available for questions and genuinely seems to love what he does. Highly recommend.

Super helpful and knowledgeable. The owner Craig is always available to take my questions, even after hours! He has taught me so much about the hobby. This store has sooo much inventory when it comes to equipment and chems. Craig has helped me out in a tight spot on countless occasions over the years. From advice to rehabilitating sick fish, he’s always proven to be there for his customers.

They abuse their fish and animals . When I first started my saltwater tank they told me to kill all my fish to get my bacteria and nitrate Levels up . This is cruel and sick.

Hubby and I were in awe of the available selection of fish, aquariums, and coral in this place. The owners are so kind and so knowledgeable! We plan on returning to purchase our setup for outdoor mini pond. It's truly a beautiful shop!!

I live in Ridgefield CT, about 50 miles from Beital's. I had no idea what to expect. I have a koi pond and my pumps stopped working and I could not get any service from anyone locally. When I called the manager painstakingly helped me trouble shoot the problem. He insisted that I bring my pump with me so he could check himself whether or not it was fried, as it is $500 for a new pump. Bottom line the owner Craig spent over 20 minutes with me at his store giving me a pretty good education on my pond, the fish and how to keep them healthy. I was blown away by their customer service and felt like I could trust them completely. He said he has been in business for 30 years and its no wonder they are very successful. He even gave me his cell phone and told me to never hesitate to call. I wish I could give them more then 5 stars. Great place and great people

Thank you for having these aquariums. Me and my family saw one in Bergen Town Center and quickly got distracted by the beauty of these creatures. The aquarium looks very clean and well maintained. It was amazing to see these animals up close.
