Waterbury Aquarium

Waterbury Aquarium reminds me of pet shops from the past. Large selection of fish, many of which you can not find in the «chain pet stores». We came in for some live brine shrimp for our betta fish, they had what we needed. If I ever decided to start up with the aquarium hobby again in a serious manner, this would be the place I would go to stock my tanks. They have the best variety of tropical and saltwater fishes in the state.

Nice little place, they have many tanks and they are more reasonable that some others that we frequent. I love that they have used tanks for sale along with the new ones, I think they have more fish tanks than anyone in our area. Go-​to place for feeder guppies and ghost shrimp and they have some really nice fish here. They also have a great selection of freshwater plants, I haven’t seen anyone carry this many plants in one place. Very helpful friendly staff and a pleasure to visit!

Have been shopping with them since they were on lakewood road.
I now purchase all of my pound equipment there.
Chris and Tracy are great. They helped me through some of the toughest catastrophes that my pond has ever faced.
I have seen them medicate fish for people who were having trouble with their salt water tanks, I believe they still offer this service. They will also test your water for you if you feel that something is amiss, although the tester kits there are not pricey at all.
Waterbury Aquarium now has an outdoor area with plants at its new location. It also has a wider selection of fish.
Water Snails and tadpoles can also be purchased here.
In addition to the pond accessories, they also have food and chemicals to keep your water quality stable. If you are unsure of which product to use just ask, they will know.
Bate and crickets can also be purchased here, although I never had a reason too.
Sometimes when you go in, the staff is busy with another customer and you may get stuck in line so if you are planning on stopping by during a lunch break, you might want to stop by after work instead. The reason they are busy is because they are very knowledgeable and answer every question the customer asks to ensure excellent customer service. They will take just as long to help you as they do with everyone else.
If you are thinking of getting a fish tank or pound, these guys are the people to go to.
