Update: Thanks for your response, explanation and kind words. You'll see me back again, maybe I'll call ahead next time to see how busy it is. Word to future customers: Please support this place by researching what you need ahead of time and not hanging around when there's a huge line outside in the rain. Everyone will be happy. ------------------- Great place for fish - clean healthy and good stock. Suggestion is it would be more fair to everyone if there was a shopping time limit at least.

Came here yesterday with a friend and family. Excellent service, I've been here once before and both times I have been really satisfied with the staff's help and knowledge on the shrimp I planned on getting, and their needs. Jared (I believe that is the name, please correct me if I'm wrong), was of course very helpful and friendly to us, suggesting many techniques and products that are beneficial for a thriving shrimp colony. For a bit of context, I wanted to restart a Neocaridina shrimp colony, a friend wanted help cycling his shrimp tank, and my dad wanted a new home for a betta fish. There is perhaps no better place in Vancouver to buy supplies for your aquarium hobby, and to gain help and advice. The long drive was worth it. We purchased 6 green jade shrimp and they were very healthy (although they are all females, so breeding will be difficult). We also purchased plants, food, and a new aquarium. The shrimp selection is not particularly huge, but the advice given on how to take care of any shrimp in general is worth more. I'd rather have this, than a store with tons of shrimp to choose from, but with completely unhelpful staff. We came mostly for advice, and also to buy, and unlike most other aquarium shops we've been to, the staff were patient and answered all our questions. Experience, good advice, and patience with customers is what every aquarium store should have, and April's Aquariums definitely hits the mark! Overall we had a very positive experience. We would give six stars If we could. Will definitely come back again.
Very happy to call April’s Aquarium my go to local fish store! A great selection of aquatic dietary needs, water conditioners, maintenance equipment, aquascaping necessities and most importantly an abundant selection of livestock. The quality of fish has been excellent and all have acclimated well and are thriving in my aquarium. The staff are very knowledgeable and accommodating especially during the current pandemic which is very much appreciated! If your a beginner or longtime aquatic hobbyist April’s Aquarium will provide you with all your aquarium needs.
Great selection of nano fish, betta fish and aquatic plants! Very helpful and knowledgeable staff! Small building though so there may be a line up to get in due to covid restrictions. But worth the wait!
The staff is so nice and helpful.. I've always bought fish from petsmart and got the wrong advice for fish care. This place is all about the fish wellbeing with natural elements, plants, snails, shrimps.. no cheap plastic decoration! They don't try to sell you things you don't need. If you like beta, they have some gorgeous ones! I have two babies and I've never seen my fish so happy!
