Monster Aquarium

About Monster Aquarium

Monster Aquarium has operated out of Flushing, Queens, since 2013 and has grown into one of New York City's largest freshwater-focused fish stores, with wall-to-wall tanks holding everything from bleeding heart and green neon tetras to multiple arowana species, platinum alligator gars, and a strong discus selection. The shop also carries a well-regarded range of aquatic plants that reviewers describe as pest-free and quick to establish, plus a full lineup of tanks and equipment. With close to a thousand reviews online, it has one of the largest review bases of any independent fish store in the state, and while some customers describe the experience as no-frills, with the focus squarely on the animals rather than retail polish, the consistent thread across feedback is that staff are responsive, knowledgeable about exotic species, and reliable with shipping, often getting online orders out within a day or two. For hobbyists chasing harder-to-find freshwater species, Monster Aquarium is one of the deepest stock lists in the region.
