(English at the end) Ceci est un endroit où tu vas trouver une bonne variété de produits d'excellente qualité et, en plus, à un très bon prix. C'est parfait pour aller acheter des roches, poissons, plantes et tout autre accessoire pour l'aquariophilie. Le propriétaire, qui est toujours en place, te donne même la possibilité de visualiser ton prochain set-up en recréant l'aquarium dans une boîte de sable. Un endroit magnifique à ne pas manquer avec un service impeccable où tu peux te donner le luxe de rêver un peu plus grand. En plus, plus t'achètes, plus t'as la chance d'avoir des rabais. La seule chose qui pourrait être difficile pour quelques personnes c'est que c'est un endroit où tu vas être servi en anglais, mais la patience et l'expertise de la personne en place gagne ses 5 étoiles. It is hard to find a place where you can get a good service and have nice products, but fortunately, this place offers you that and much more. This little store is one of the best places in montreal to buy aquarium products, fishes or even just to get an advice; because as the owner said: "it is not just a store, it's a club for those aquarium lovers who want a great place to share their love for the hobby". Here you can find a large variety of rocks and driftwood and, if you have time, you can even see what your aquarium would look like thanks to the little sand box they owner placed for this purpose. If you would want me to resume my experience there in one single word, I would say it was "perfect" because of the amazing expertise, kindness and patience of the person who runs the place. If you haven't been there, do not hesitate; It's something you must live to believe.

I really love this shop! Recommended, guys! Let me go through the points. Settings: It's a very small shop. But everything that you need for planted aquarium is here! Both for the beginners and average hobbyists. So when you go there, you have to take your time browsing. Move too quickly and you will miss what you might need! Service: The owner is very helpful! He took the time to demo the decorations for our nano aquarium. And even advised us against buying more that what is necessary! Selection: His selection of shrimps is very beautiful! And he recommended us certain shrimps species that breed together for good color. And others that should remain alone. Again, he help us spend better, not spend more. And at the end, he gave us a 15% discount! Nice! Scaping: the various aquariums that he has in display shows that he knows how to scape! So we trusted his aesthetics and even discussed in length on how to optimize the beauty of a nano aquarium. So in conclusion, this shop is very good. Pretty much among the best I have seen. When you go, take your time to write down question and discuss them with the owner. It is worth it in my opinion. And once again: take your time browsing! Have fun there!

Small, tight-knit shop for aquaphiles right outside of Lionel groulx metro. The owner is passionate, kind, friendly, and honest. He gives great advice and is knowledgeable to create the aquascape of your dreams and the conditions that your fish will thrive in. The store has many items that are useful for your aquarium at a great price. While they don't have much selection of fish, they mostly have amano shrimp, red and yellow cherry shrimps, crystal red shrimp, blue bolts, guppies and some tetras. The plants here are affordable and his recommendations are very thought out for your scape. There's more selection of substrates, equipment, diffusers, shrimp hides, plant supplements etc. in the shop rather than fish. There's also a selection of driftwood, dragon stone, magma stone, seriyu stone for your aquarium. They mostly sell nano tanks if you're interested in making a palundarium or having a small setup. If interested in specific parts or pieces for your aquirium the owner is more than happy to order them for you! Definitely will come back again soon to get more equipment for my aquarium!!

  • Alec Johnson

I have been coming to Aqua Plus since I moved back to Montreal a few years ago. The owner is a true gentleman, always going above and beyond to make sure his clients are satisfied with both his services and products. A great line of aquascaping tools and supplies to help those new to the hobby and even experienced veterans! I have been fortunate enough to get to know the owner well and proudly call him a friend! He has helped me put together 3 tanks, you can see that he truly cares about his store and clients. He will always be honest with you and never try to push any unnecessary products on you, if I could give this store a 10/10 I would do it without hesitating!

  • Pierrick Le Roy

Very nice little aquascape store! The owner is extremely helpful and friendly, always trying to get you the best deals, giving you discounts and an overall 5 stars customer service. This is a place that encourages aquascaping as an art form: aquariums are beautiful, lots of other equipments like DEL lights, C02 tanks for the serious fish keeper and aquascaper, more choices of plants and at a better price than in the other stores in Montreal. Highly recommended if you really want to set up an aquarium that fits great in your living room. You will find here great advises, support and top notch equipments at great prices.

  • Mary Lim

Don't be fooled by the size of this store; this is the place to go to for specialized tools and equipment for all your aquarium planting needs. A good variety of shrimp and shrimp food is also available. The owner is clearly passionate about aquascaping, and readily gives advice. He recommends items based on your need, and doesn't push the higher priced items on you. The prices here are unbeatable and significantly lower than in the major chain stores. If an item is not available, the owner will place an order for you. This place is a true gem.

  • Jimmy F

Mon expérience avec ce magasin a été superbe! Nécessité de parler en anglais mais à part cela, le monsieur passionné et connaisseur n’a que de bons conseils! Il prend le temps qu’il faut pour répondre aux questions, il fait tout ce qu’il peut pour vous conseiller et vous apporter la meilleure solution selon votre cas, tout en évitant de vous faire dépenser pour des choses inutiles! Jai beaucoup apprécié son honnêteté! En plus, les prix y sont vraiment intéressants ! Amateurs d’aquariums, passez y faire un tour vous ne serez pas déçus

  • Vanessa Wall

This place is a real gem. Not only are the prices competitive, but the owner is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I've been to this location a number of times, and having no prior experience with aquariums, was very grateful for how much thoughtful advice was given to me. The owner really does care about his customers. The shop itself is small but well organised, and the display tanks are beautiful. Definitely give this place a visit if you want quality service and products, and want to support small local sellers!

  • Andrew Fung

Super nice owner! He stayed after closing just to show us tricks, how to set up, aquascaping ideas, what substrates to use and planting recommendations for the scape. His shop has a wide variety of hard to get shrimp food from Germany and Japan that can't be found elsewhere in Montreal. He personally feeds his shrimp those products before recommending them to the customer. Overall, great shop and honest, sincere and knowledgeable owner.

  • Jérémie Gascon

came here with my daughter last week end and was amazed by the quality of the store and service the owner is very knowledgeable, even if it is small and does not stock as much as bigger store the quality of the plants and advice about aqua scaping are beyond any other store in Montreal. its not a fish store its really an aqua scaping store and a really great one at that. loved it i will be back for sure. keep up the good work !!

  • Naiem s.

Top quality. Best prices. They can get you anything you need. This is the best shop for any aquarium enthusiast. No comparison. I have built over 10 aquariums from this shop and they never disappoint. The advice is hands on. The customer service is great. Makes you want to buy more and more. If you feel anything you do to your aquarium doesn't work, visit this shop and you will have a totally different experience.

  • Delta Whiskey

I took the time to go to this amazing little shop today, and I will definitely be going back. Owner is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and absolutely loves creating aquascapes. I went in for a few plants and wood, and ended up spending almost an hour chatting with him. If you're looking for aquariums, equipment, plants, substrate, hardscape or shrimp, I would 100% recommend this shop.

  • Melike A.Y.

We went there last Sunday and we're so lucky to find this place. The best aquarium store and service in Montreal. The owner is very helpful and kind. We are beginners and he set up demo aquarium just over there. Although he did overtime because of us answered our all questions patiently and kindly. %15 discount was bonus also :) We will buy our shrimps from there for sure

  • Sam X.S.

Longtime customer here. Definitely the best place to go for tanks, plants, accessoires and care product. The owner, Ke An, always offers authentic and professional advices. The price is unbeatable on the island and always offers the most effective products on the market. I've recommended it to all fellow aquarist that I met offline and wanna take the chance to do it online too

  • Mr. Panda

What an amazing small shop! Owner truly has your best interest at heart and will do anything to give you the best quality stuff for the smallest price. He doesn’t hide anything and gives advice for every single detail. Bought some shrimps, plants and tools and i can confirm that the price are unbeatable and the quality is top notch. Will drive 40+ minutes again to go there.

  • Jamie Baker

I love this store! I was visiting Montreal from the US and just intended to browse. I wound up spending $200 on hardscape and gear that's really hard to find in the States. The owner was really nice and answered all my questions. This place is a must visit for aquascapers in Montreal. If it were my local store, I'd spend all my money there.

  • Emy D.

Passée aujourd'hui pour des petites crevettes. J'Y RETOURNERAI C'EST SÛR.

Merci beaucoup!!

I really like this store. It's a small store with only the owner working. He's a hobbyist himself and very enthusiastic. Will give you the best service he can, and his prices are quite competitive, often cheaper the bigger aquarium stores. The store's specialty is aquascape and shrimp.
