About Eddie's Aquarium Centre

Eddie's Aquarium Centre has served the Albany-Cohoes area since 1975, making it one of the longest continuously operating independent aquarium stores anywhere in the state. Still family-run, the shop covers a wide range of the hobby: freshwater and saltwater fish, planted tanks, koi, and pond plants, and it has expanded into pond construction and even plunge-pool installation through affiliated divisions, reflecting five decades of adapting to what regional customers actually want. Reviewers across review platforms are unusually consistent in calling it the best aquarium store in the Capital District and, in several cases, the best in upstate New York generally, citing a large, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. With well over 250 reviews and a recommendation rate above 90 percent, it has the kind of sustained customer base that only comes from decades of repeat business rather than a single good season. For hobbyists across the Capital Region and into parts of New England, Eddie's functions as both a retail store and a long-term source of pond and aquarium expertise.
