About Aquatics Galore
Aquatics Galore Pets and More is a family-owned shop in Fairborn, near Dayton, and describes itself as offering fresh fish and coral shipments daily, positioning it as one of the largest livestock destinations in the greater Dayton area. Beyond retail sales of saltwater and freshwater fish, live plants, coral and invertebrates, it also handles aquarium relocation, professional water testing, custom tank consulting, maintenance and cleaning, RO/DI and saltwater sales, and buys and sells used aquarium equipment, alongside a broader pet department covering reptiles, small animals and live feeders. Staff members Tim, Patty and Jerry are repeatedly named by reviewers as patient and knowledgeable, with some customers calling it the best fish store in the area. That said, the review record is more mixed than most shops on this list: other customers report livestock dying shortly after purchase, note the store offers no live-arrival guarantee, and describe prices running two to three times higher than other pet stores. With around 629 reviews and a 4.4-star average, it has the largest review volume of any independent Ohio shop researched here, but a wider spread in customer experience than the higher-ranked stores.
