Fantastic place for all types of aquatic life. i got a little baby Axolotl two months ago and he gave me all the information and advice to care for the little guy. He has really cool display of coral reef of what he can build and do really very interesting! our Axolotl is growing and getting big happy and healthy. i get the water conditioner from here to treat my water at home and he even is stocking the pellets too!

Hours are horrible BUT selection is great for either salt or fresh and they even had a bird and some reptiles. owner is very cool and knows his stuff, good pricing. wish the hours were more mainstream but definitely worth the go.

Absolutely love this local fish store. Sal goes above and beyond with his customers. My kids love going to see the Koi fish pond and feeding them.There’s a great selection of fish. I personally go for fresh water but the displays of the salt water and reef is amazing. This is the shop you want to go to with your fish needs and questions. I have asked a million things and never felt like anyone was brushing me off like you’d find at PetSmart or Petco.

It is small and intimate. The owner takes time to help you with your questions. He has some exotic looking fish here. Love his bird Sunshine who is always vocal!😂

Get store plain and simple! Everything you need for the best saltwater aquarium. If they don't have it they will order it. The best part is the people who work there will spend hours helping you succeed in the salt water and reef keeping community. Better yet they now carry fresh water fish!

Stopped in for a couple of freshwater plants, items I haven't seen before which is awesome. Says he can order freshwater shrimps and other items and I think I'll take advantage! Great location, I stopped in and parked at 4:30 no problems.

First time stopped by today because I like to explore in many different saltwater marine store locations. Driving 1 hour away and finally got two Hammer frag coral. The owner very nice, helpful, and also dedicated to what he doing it. If you have any concerns questions he will answer it all for you. Finally he gave me a nice packing for my coral today because I’ll live an hour far way. Thank for the kindness and knowledge of this store give me. I will definitely come back next time for my reef collection.

This place was awesome. While the selection of fish may have been smaller than bigger pet stores, they're still the only dedicated salt water store I know of in the Philadelphia area. The man behind the register was also really knowledgeable, willing to help, and nice to chat with. I will be going back.

Stopped in for the first time today. Great little shop for marine fish. The guys working the shop were super friendly and a helpful as can be. They answered any and all questions I had while seeming pleased to do so. The prices are fair with a wide selection to choose from. I will definitely be returning and really appreciate the time the guys spent answering our questions!

Great livestock and service. I have a fish only tank for now, and Sal helped me tremendously with finding the right fish to make my tank great with colors and character. I would recommend this store for any saltwater aquarium needs!

Awesome place. I needed a wet-side for my mp40. They didn't have any, but they opened up a mp40 they had and gave me that one while they ordered a replacement for themselves since I was in a jam. Also picked up a nice blasto coral. Small place, but they even had BRS DI Resin. Quality over quantity, only 30 or 40 fish and 6-8 coral tanks, but all nice stuff.

Didn't even know the shop was there. Found it through Google and had to visit since it is so close to to home. It's called Mini Reef for a reason, it it a small shop. But don't let that deter you. Clean tanks and healthy looking livestock. Nice to have a shop close to home that offers some colorful corals and nice fish. I'll be back!

Love this shop for our saltwater tank. Definitely one of the best in the area. Has a great selection of fish and corals.

They have good prices but unfortunately are not great at packaging the coral. Also they have a ton of aptasia anemone and you will need to really clean the coral before placing in your tank.

Sal is super helpful and knowledgeable regarding all things related to keeping corals and saltwater fish. Very welcoming towards beginners and happy to share what he knows!

This place is awesome. Not sure if it was the owner or an employee working today, but he was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Loved hearing about my aquarium, as well as talking about his shop/own personal fish. This shop has beautiful healthy fish/inverts/corals. I will definitely be coming back to Mini Reef, Prospect Park for all my salt water aquarium needs. Around me, all I can find are Petcos... and the Petco closest to my house has a water problem...(some of their fish have what appears to be ich, and they recycle all of their water into each tank...ich in one tank + recycling water = ich in all tanks).
