Albany Aquarium

My son loves visiting this pet shop to look at all the fishes. We don't own a fish aquarium but will soon since my son loves the fish. I think I'll get one for him when he's old enough to clean and take care of it. The staff is great and very friendly. They practically know us by now so they just greet us most of the time.

Stepping into Albany Aquarium is a little like walking into a dungeon's waiting room: very dark and oddly lit, but with pretty fish swimming in scattered tanks. Fish seemed reasonably healthy, with no discernable floaters. Staff seemed non-existant, but maybe I caught them at an awkward time.

PROS: good selection, reasonable prices, easy to find
CONS: dark, odd layout to store

They offer a selection of fishes here at Albany Aquarium and competitive prices that'll keep you here as a regular customer. They sell everything you need as a beginner or a hard core fish addict. The service is pretty good and the staff is pretty knowledgeable with everything.

I used to go here to buy feeders for my son's fish. I used to work out in Berkeley so this was just on the way back home. Service is great and will help you with anything you need. Very knowledgeable staff too. My son says they have big feeders here.

This may seem like a small shop front but packed into the small space is alot of different salt water and fresh water fish, aquariums and supplies. They definately know their fish and have always been able to answer my question.

My only realy criticism is that with so much inventory its rather cramped and you find yourself squeezing past other customers to get to what you need. They are supposed to be moving to a larger premises but thats been the intention for over 8 months.
