Best fish store in the area! I drive 45 minutes from the north shore to get my fish from here. They have both freshwater and saltwater, but I only go for the saltwater stuff. Owner and staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are very reasonable. Great selection of fish, corals and supplies.
Very knowledgeable staff wide selection of fresh and saltwater fish and corals only place I go now
Always very helpful and great experience going here never miss directed on anything. Always greeted at the door and have some great corals from here there prices match a online retailer for fish and dry goods the only two things I would like to see is do a npetune trident membership like some shops are doing.
Lots of good fish lots of good coral highly recommend
Well stocked and knowledge staff.
Nice placeHave a lot of nice corals and salt water fish
Healthy coral, good prices!
Super helpful! Great fish store
Great prices! We drive an hour away just to come here.
Staff are great! Always helpful and friendly every time Ive been in. tanks are clean, fish vibrant and active. store setup makes it easy to find items you need and you can browse stock without high pressure to buy. Love this store!
Very friendly staff and good prices. Theres a lot of different freshwater and saltwater fish available. I regret not coming here sooner because there is so many times more driftwood available here than any pet store around. The prices are very good as well.
Awesome store everything looks nice great selection of Corals and fish and friendly and knowledgeable people and good service
I like this place because its fun to look at the fish some pretty good fish
Jay and crew are great guys and really know their stuff!
Family owned business,Jay has been doing it for a long time. They are fair with their prices and the employees know the products they sell. They wont steer you wrong.
Love this place! Great prices and Jay is the best!
Best place around for your aquatic needs.
We enjoyed our quick visit we got 3 Koi fishes to add to my aquarium. The price was fair and will definitely be going back for more fish needs.
Great place to shop now that they have the good help there. Jack And Jay are extremely helpful and always looking to keep customers happy. If your in the market for aquarium ANYTHING, this is the place to go. Great products at amazing prices. I have been shopping here for a long time.
Very helpful for a novice. Although it appears to be a very high end place, they gave me great information and spent plenty of time with me. Will certainly go back.
Jay is always very patient with me and takes the time to answer all my questions and offers me suggestions.
The older gentleman that helped was very polite and had no issue with giving me some advise. Prices are as to be expected for a small shop like this, and their selection is not bad either. Having been more than once and dealing with different other people there Im overall happy with the business Ive done with them. Typically better prices on livestock and more selection of dry goods and chemicals than similar place in this area. 100% worth a stop if you are in the hobby.
Took my son there its a paradise for him got a flowerhorn
This place is amazing great information and lots to choose from
Went in for driftwood. Large selection in that aspect. Helpful and kind staff! Very cool place for aquarists!
Friendly staff and all but the prices were way overboard for used goods. Some higher than just going out and buying new. Im talking the stuff that wasnt antique...they have more than just that.
Great selections!
Huge selection and great people
OMG totally awesome. What a shop. Unbelievable coral selection. Tanks are incredible. Going back next week.
He let us in even when closed .was a great thing. Made are evening great .
Shop here every week. Always great new stuff to look at and a great selection of coral and fish. Plus all kinds of equipment for both fresh and salt tanks. I have been keeping saltwater tanks for over 10 years now and have yet to find a store with better prices as well as having everything your looking for!
Very helpfull, and do not push you for sales, happy to point you in the right direction. They are more into salt water than fresh.
Awesome selection but expensive coral and not the cleanest of local aquarium stores
Most comments are accurate. Place is falling apart. Smelled like they were smoking in the store. Great selection for salt water tanks. Bichirs are cheap.
Way cool place for all your aquatic needs
HUGE selection of corals, and saltwater fish. Decent selection of freshwater but not as much as expected this time around. Today was my first time ever visiting. I was one of only 2 customers in the store at the time, and waited patiently for quite a while for someone to come up to the register to help. So if its busy, expect the possibility of a long wait. The tanks were relatively clean, the fish did look healthy, and they carry many harder to find supplies and accessories, and once I was helped the (owner I assume) was friendly. I did not get any fish, but may go back later in the season to see what they have in. There were soft-water varieties like discus, and lots of cichlids both Central and S. American, and African types alike. The store is on a slab, so dont expect it to be bright and super clean. Its a nice Aquarium store, and I will still return again sometime.
Some of the best prices and coral selection.
Jays always seems to have what Im looking for. His selection of saltwater fish, corals and invertebrates is second to none in the whole area. Youd have to drive at least an hour or more to find another place that even comes close to having what Jay has. His prices are competitive with other stores of this nature and he knows what sells.
An impressively sized fish store with some exotic creatures to see mixed in. You chat with the owner at the counter and they always have fair prices and great information. 10/10.
Always a great selection of fish and corals. Workers are knowledgeable and prices are good.
Cool little fish store.
I love jays! Great selection and great prices
I have gone here 3 weeks in a row they never have any good stock fresh and saltwater. They tanks as re very dirty never clean. The worst thing about this place is the staff they wont say a word to you ask you fo help or anything would never recommend this place. All the good reviews must be old cause none of them are true.
Huge selection of saltwater Coral and fish.
Big selection for saltwater aquariums
Great variety of salt water fish and corals
Place isnt kept clean! In their Freshwater tanks there was at least 2 dead fish in them that looked like theyd been in there at least a day or 2. All their tanks was dingy dirty like they were never properly cleaned. They had a massive oversized Pleco that was held in their small tank.. Poor thing couldnt even move. I went there to buy stuff for my tanks but after walking around there I quickly changed my mind. I would not buy a fish there because they all looked sick.. I went to ask a question & all I could get was 1 word answers like.. Yea, no or maybe! This is a place I will not visit again. All of their prices were comparable to any other fish store.
They were very helpful!
They have some great fish and coral selections. Be sure to check water parameters b4 acclimating fish brought from here. Lost a couple specimens, I believe they keep their salinity on the low end of saltwater, to keep down on disease. Otherwise only local fish shop around, town besides petco and petsmart. Store could use a makeover.
Amazing selection of fish both fresh and salt water.
Awesome selection of gear. Has fresh and salt. Looks like shop has been there for 30 years. Will be back for fish
Very disappointed in the way I was treated, if your having a Bad Day don’t take it out on the Customer. The young guy cleaning the tanks appeared like he was on Opioids or something, overall I would not go back anytime soon.
Great place for fish and corals
Stopped in and saw lots of salt water fish and coral. Always have something new! Great job.
Been in 3-4 times now. By far and away the best retailer in NH for anything salt water. Livestock is always healthy, really good prices and wide selection of SPS corals. The salt water fish, supplies, and freshwater fish are also well stocked, but coral and salt water fish seem to be the focus. I have gotten 3 acropora, a porite, some zoas... all doing very well in my 10g nano tank. I have yet to see any hitch hikers on any corals which is one of my favorite things here. I have added their tank water to my tank on 3 separate occasions with no adverse effects (do so at your own risk) If I was buying a sponge or lion fish where you could not expose the critter to air and needed to dump in tank water, this would be my go to place.I dont know what other reviewers mean by dirty, as far as pet stores go this place is spotless. The location the store is in is far perfect and I think that is creating the impression of it being dirty. Everything I have seen inside the tanks is either average or above average, certainly nothing that looked neglected. I think some people are use to big box stores where the store is spotless and the tanks are filthy.... this is kind of the opposite, but I would not call the store filthy (maybe utilitarian?)It may seem like the staff are ignoring you, but in the past it seemed like they were giving people space but now they seem to be more likely to approach you; it has been too busy when I went in lately to say for sure. Everyone is very nice regardless, you just may need to ask for help before someone comes over. Very glad to have these guys around, the next best option is online and a lot more expensive (shipping is a killer)
Fantastic experience here. Very knowledgeable and prices are extreamly reasonable. Theres a good selection of product along with a fantastic selection of freshwater and salt water fishI highly recommend making a stop to Jays Aquatics and check out what he has in side the store.
Great saltwater fish selection at very reasonable prices
Great Place for The salt water hobby and fresh water they have everything you are looking for that you can never find in the big named Pet stores for fish and supplies..
Great prices! Jay is a helpful knowledgeable guy! The staff is friendly and is willing to stay after hours to help a new salt water enthusiast with purchases for my new reef tank! Thanks again! Cya soon
I used to love going to jays, I went religiously to check out the new live stock and always left with a nice piece for my tank. Im not sure what has happened recently maybe theyre are going through a rough patch. My Last visit was likely my last. I was the only person at the store as I browsed through the coral and fish. The tanks were riddled with pest algae a dead fish. Their frag tanks were nearly empty and many if the frags were dead or dying. In their display tanks corals were getting choked out by green hair algae and many of their fish had lost color. I was never approached by an employee not even a smile or a hello, no one even looked up from the counter to thank me for stopping in as I made my way to the door. One of the best things about this industry is the friendly conversation and sharing of trade secrets that help us all grow and improve as hobbyists and there is no effort to be found at jays.
Busy place with lots of interesting things
Awsome place to visit such beautiful fish and great prices may and his staff are always willing to help with all aquatic needs
Nice place
Adequate fish, reef supply store with nice knowledgeable trustworthy people. Large supply of fishes and corals, lots of fragments - been going here for years!
The people that work at Jay and Jay himself are always more than helpful. On more than one occasion they have helped me solve problems with my saltwater tank. It was Jay himself who help me start my first tank. Yes, there are times like any place you may have to wait a minute or two for help when they have a ton of customers in the store, all wanting help at the same time. But the wait is more than worth it because when it is your turn you have 100% of their attention and they go overboard to help you with everything. Let me say this this is the place to go for all your saltwater and fresh fish need because they care about your tanks, and you as an individual.
Location is quiet .hard to find.very nice fish n corals .but very dirty .looks like its going out business n its beeeen looking like that for years already .like clean up or hire people to help its 1 person who works in da whole store ......okay prices .but really not welcoming.
Had a great collection of freshwater fishes and also an amazing collection of marine water fishes/invertebrates. Prices were comparable to the big pet shops like Petsmart/Petco etc. The only complaint I have is, I got X-ray tetras whereas I was told they were lemon tetras.
I just got back into the freshwater aquarium hobby and I was referred to this place by an employee of one of the big box pet stores because I was looking for a unique, less common fish that they rarely had in her store. I am grateful she did because Jays is great. They have everything you need, most of what you want, and TONS of fish selection. And true to her word, they had EVERY single species I had in mind to stock my new 29 gallon tank with. I didnt fully stock it right away but they had the more rare fish I wanted so I grabbed them.The woman that works there (didnt get her name) was stocking new fish from bags but was still very attentive and an encyclopedia of info. She helped determine my stocking threshold, compatibility, how quickly to add them, and in what order. The fish were a bit pricier than the big box places but not ridiculously so and the better selection, quality and health are worth the investment. If they suspect something is not healthy, they will mark NFS (not for sale) or turn down the sale (I witnessed this first hand). High integrity appreciated! Also, there are tons of food and decor choices.A bit off the beaten path but truly worth the ride if you are into aquaria. Just seeing the different species you have never seen before in your life is fun even if you dont buy anything.
Unique selection for those rare finds
Love all the display tanks and variety of fish.
Always awesome to walk in and browse around. The selection is the best around, things are well kept and you can tell the staff cares about the livestock and products on the shelves. They know what theyre talking about and I would deffinetly take advice from them. Overall great place and I would recommend it for all hobbiests. Begginers and seasoned vets.
Not too many of these stores around, they had what we needed, its not far away from many main streets. we found it!!
We live in Boston and love coming here, best place to buy corals & ask questions, knowledgeable staff and my kids love visiting the sea turtle.. the prices are great too, worth the ride
Jay is a great guy that helps you and works with you when you have tank issues.
Everytime I come here I get ignored and have to follow someone around and ask for help otherwise they wont say a word. Other than that the store is great
OMG the prices were/are ridiculous most items were between 1 1/2 and 2 times those at petco, the frag tanks were in bad need of cleaning. Will never return.
Jay has a great store. Been going there for more then a decade.
Always friendly and knowledgeable
Unbelievable variety of saltwater fish and freshwater. Jay is the best knows everything and is always sharing information. Once a customer always a customer!
Great fish and corals. Weekly shipments. Tend to make up prices on the spot.
