This was the most expensive aquarium store I ever been at!!! Don't stop here unless you plant to spend 500$+ on a tank, they have no turtles here which is why I stopped but many different varieties of fish and very cool to walk through, they have all your decorating needs and live aquatic plants. Definitely a neat store.

Great fish selection for ponds and an okay selection of pond plants. The pond plants were a little pricey for the small size they had but fish prices were competitive. Excellent service.

I always had kept fresh water fish and I am interested in starting a saltwater tank so went to Elmer’s to look around and ask questions. It was like I was getting in the employees way when I was looking at fish very rude and nobody wanted to be bothered with. A lot of fish were sick and very skinny or even dead. The only time I was asked if I needed help was on my way out the door. Will never shop here again very disappointed.

Went here and bought 4 fish at 50.00 for my daughter. Had for 3 days and all died including alot of her previous fish she had for years. Called the location and was made to feel it was our fault with questions about the pH and ammonia and ultimately said they keep their fish stress free and their stress caused ick that caused this. I can't be the only one this has happened to. Very disappointed and it was our first visit to the location. Will not return.

Elmer's is amazing and I've been going here for roughly 12 years now. The employees clearly know what they're doing and I appreciate how willing they are to drop knowledge when asked. I've never once felt pressured to buy anything, nor do I feel like there's any upselling, just people passionate about fish and fish related things helping others do best for their tanks.

This place is pretty cool. They have a large variety of fish and most of the people that work there. No what they're talking about it's about 45 minutes away from me so it's a bit of a haul but the fish that I get there tend to last

We absolutely love Elmer's Aquarium! Our dental office fish tank is impeccable and we get tons of compliments on it. Also the tech is amazing and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

I am very disappointed and disgusted by their service. I’ve only ever heard good things about this place so we decided to take the 40 min drive up here. I’ve had fish for over 3 years and I care for them very deeply but by no means am I a professional and I can confidently own up to my mistakes but I’ve never once in my years of owning fish had to use any kind of sick treatment or medications. All my fish have been healthy and happy for years. I test the water regularly and care for them as if they were my own dog. I’ve never had any issues until now. I decided to buy 4 fish from here for $50 and I brought them home the first day was fine the next morning I wake up to all my fish covered in ich an over half of them dead. My fish have never had ich prior to this so I was freaking out having a breakdown, I was crying so hard to the point I was hyperventilating. All of the fish I got from here died as well as my fish I’ve owned and enjoyed caring for for years. We called them and they couldn’t even own up or take responsibility. As I’m bawling my eyes out the lady on the phone told us to check my pH and ammonia levels then switched it up after hearing both were good and blamed the ich on the stress but told us they keep their fish stress free. She kept trying to make it our fault. Then she told us to bring in a water sample because strips aren’t accurate and my strip reading was probably wrong. Made me feel like it was all my fault and that it couldn’t possibly be their fault. The more I think about it the more it makes sense why they only offer half credit back because this happens often and they don’t wanna lose money even though they know they’re selling people sick fish. Even then no amount of money is going to bring back my fish. They only give half credit back. So $25. That isn’t going to make up for any of the damage and loss you guys caused me. I will never ever recommend this place or come back here again. I’m aware that they can’t monitor every fish for sickness and accidents are bound to happen but the least they could’ve done is taken some responsibility an apologized to me. I never take time to write reviews but I genuinely just want to possibly help someone else from the same thing happening to them. So PLEASE please beware when buying fish from here. After reading more deep into their reviews I see their fish introducing ich into customers tanks is a common theme.

This amazing fish store has everything you would want to start or to expand and develop a bigger aquarium. They have all kinds of fish from fresh, saltwater and brackish. They have nano fish to fish for your largest tanks. This place is welcoming and their knowledge and expertise is their best resource. They had everything I needed and even more that I wanted to get. Best fish store ever! If I could give it more stars I would!

THIS PLACE KNOWINGLY SELLS FISH WITH FISH ICH!!!! DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! This place will scam you of your money! Recently bought some fish here and keep in mind I have fish at home and clean my tank on a normal basis so I know my environment wasn’t the cause. As soon as I buy a couple fish here and in the span of 2-3 days all of my fish are dead. DO NOT BUY YOUR FISH HERE! Terrible place. Also overpriced, best bet is to go to PetCo.

We have bought all of our fish, fish tanks, stands and equipment here. We come here for anything we need for our fish tanks. The staff is very knowledgeable and eager to help! Great family owned business!

I drove 2 hours to check this place out and I wasn’t disappointed. Everyone was very helpful and happy. I didn’t feel like I was bothering anyone with my questions because they were excited to help. I ended up purchasing a Seapora 90 gallon aquarium and some decor for it along with some needed maintenance supplies and food. This place is a must if you want friendly people and awesome selections to choose from. I couldn’t be happier with everything.

I would love to keep supporting this place but they have nothing but sick fish and it ruined my tankmates health. When the fish aren't sick,they have an amazing selection of a wide variety of fish, food tank decor and more.

Love this shop. Tanks are crystal clear. Lots of stock and variety. We stop every time we go to Monroeville. Bought around 25 fish the last time there mainly different tetras and they all have been doing well. Only had 3 die which isn't bad considering the hour long ride and new environment.

I have been going to this store for past 10 years cuz I wanted to support local business. I was not happy with my last transaction. I bought a fish that is a finicky eater and made sure I had live food in my tank. But I asked the sales associate and another what's the guarantee on this fish and they told me full credit if anything happens within 24 hrs and 1/2 credit within 14 days. Took the fish home and it died within 20 hrs. Called and told them about it and the manger said it's only 1/2 credit and didn't know why the employee said that. Manager said he will make an exception this time and give me full credit for the fish and he'll put it in the notes for reference. Went next day and bought more fish and asked the same manager to apply the full credit towards the new fish. He said he can't do that and can only give me half credit again after insisting that he himself said he will make a exception. I left the store without buying anything n took the half credit in cash. Apparently after getting home I saw they didn't even give me half of $36.99 + tax.

It was a little far from where I live, but yesterday I went there and it was amazing! They have a kot of different fishes and plants which you cant find any other stores. They also have a lot of different aquascaping beautiful tanks. I was very there staring at those tanks for a long time.

I love Elmer's. Staff are super knowledgeable and helpful. It seems they all really love what they do and are passionate about fish keeping. Their selection is huge and they will offer to get you fish if they don't keep them in stock.

This store refuses to acknowledge they have problems with their fish and tanks. They sold fish that had ich and it killed my childs entire tank of fish. If you cannot properly care for fish then dont own a fish store. This is disgusting.

Please do not go here. Their fish are not healthy and will kill your other fish. They don’t know what they’re talking about and will make it your fault instead of owning up. They don’t even give a full refund because they know how awful their fish care is hence why so many people come back wanting refunds.

Growing up, my dad always had fish and I loved to go with him to Elmer's! It's great to see them going strong and they even seem to have the same layout. It's almost like a trip to the zoo with an the beautiful fish and other small animals they sell.I bought my California king snake here, and he lived for 18 years until he sadly died of cancer.
