" This is the goto place to buy cichlids in southern Ontario (probably all of Canada).
Great selection, clean store, friendly staff ( especially the grey haired gentleman with glasses that works there the odd time, very knowledgeable). "

" Best place for Cichlids anywhere! Have found many hard to find Africans and SA/CA cichlids here. Great staff and these guys know their fish!
Even though its a long drive for me, it is well worth it "

" I never write reviews but this shop deserves it!
First time there today and all I can say is what a great experience. The shop is clean and organized with no fishy smell.
The fishes are gorgeous and the tanks are very clean, That it tempted me to start a cichlid tank.
The prices are great and very competitive if not better than most stores in Mississauga.
I Went there with a list for my planted sorority tabk and was surprised to find everything on my list and more, They even carried almond leaves, I was a happy camper!
Hands down the best store in Mississauga, I will be going here from now on and can't forget about Big Mike, Good guy! "

" Hands down best cichlid resource. It's like stepping into your local pub for good chats, and people passionate about their fish. Price is also competitive to Amazon and other chains. "

" I had plans to be in the city, so I messaged Finatics on their Facebook regarding a fish I was after. They had it, so I stopped by while I was in town. They had the fish I was after at a good price, but I managed to find a group of Fisher's Woodcats that I purchased instead. They were all healthy, and are all active and eating well back at home.
The store was clean, lacks any sort of 'fish' smell that many other stores have, and the employees were very personable. The only store near me is a Big Al's (large Aquarium chain throughout Canada), and comparing the treatment I received at Finatics to a Big Al's store is night and day. I was greeted, the man I spoke to was personable, and it felt more like I was dealing with another hobbyist than an employee at a store.
I did not see a single dead fish in their tanks. All the tanks were clean, none of the fish were emaciated (most fish I have purchased from Big Al's required me to beef them up due to how much they underfeed their tanks), the shelves were well stocked and tidy, prices were apparent. A really great experience overall.
I will be making monthly trips to this store to pick up food and other supplies, and will be contacting this store first when it comes to ordering fish. It's well worth the hour and a half drive.
Combined with the great fish and dry goods, the store also has a brilliant display tank right when you walk in the door. Extremely eye catching, and a testament to how well the staff here look after their store and their fish.
Can't recommend it enough. Whether you're a serious hobbyist or not, this is the place to go for anything related to aquariums. "
