Ely's Tropical Fish 326 Columbia Turnpike, Florham Park, NJ 07932

"My partner and I purchased a water filter here a few months ago, and we've recently started wondering if the way we placed one of the hoses is correct. Since we were going to stop by anyway to purchase gravel for our turtle, my partner decided to ask the owner about the hose placement, and he was shut down and interrupted as soon as he started asking. The owner seemed so annoyed and told him to call the manufacturer. If he had just let him finish, I'm sure he would've been able to help us because they use the same kind of filters in the shop. It was very disappointing. The young man helping in the shop wasn't any better with the attitude when asked about the gravel. They both seemed to be in a bad mood and were very rude. This isn't the first time my partner was treated this way by the owner, but we figured he was having a bad day the first time it happened. Now we understand he's just a rude person overall. We ended up not purchasing anything and leaving. We will try to purchase online instead, it'll probably be cheaper anyway."

"This was my first time visiting this store and I am blow away. The store is clean, organized, has a great variety of fish, healthy fish at a good size, good small selection of plants, and good selection of aquarium equipment. The staff is also very friendly. The store is bigger on the inside than what you’d think from the outside. I will definitely be back again soon!!!!!"

"Just visited the store looking for a vampire shrimp and finally got one for 40 dollars. The price was a bit on the high side but it's ok for a rare shrimp. the tanks here are not the cleanest of surrounding fish stores privately owned but they were ok. Please read other reviews customer service is not their top attribute so keep that in mind. I don't think it matters much if you know what you are looking for and just want to stop by grab and go this is the right store. If you want to talk about fish and share anecdotes about the hobby not the place for that."

"Absolutely amazing place. My kids and I love going to Ely’s. Looks small from the outside but it’s busting wall to wall with maybe 1000+ different species of fish to look at. All very healthy with crystal clear water. Great selection of exotic orandas. Will be back to check out the others. Thanks!"
