A cute little shop. I like going here.
Stocked full . healthy livestock and Brian is the man support small business
Super helpful and knowledgeable staff, good prices, healthy animals
The employees follow you like you are a thief. We left and took our business elsewhere
Nice friendly, helpful service! Found what I was looking for, Rusty cichlids.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
I always love going in and seeing the fish l, but I wish there was more room to walk around.
For aquarium and terrariums this was a great stop. We got a new red light for the bearded lizard and some sweet cockroaches and fat meal worms.
A customer i deliver to for my job really kind people
Friendly people and always someone to help and they are very knowledgeable. Every fish I have bought from there has been healthy and lived a long time. I recommend them 100% and will continue to buy stuff from there instead of the other pet places.
Employees always friendly anf helpful.We get our fish no where else
Best aquarium store around. Staff are very friendly.
Many different fish, reptiles and birds. Little cramped. Nice staff.
Wonderful people very helpful and knowledgeable about the the critters they carry
Great selection and helpful staff.
Went here because I wanted to purchase 2 pet mice. This is the only place around that has mice, whether as a pet or other reasons. I felt the place was overpriced. What they had there was definitely geared mostly for aquarium business. Lots of fish for sale and the aquariums all looked very healthy so its a great place to buy some healthy fish for your aquarium. I wouldnt come here for your rodent or any other pet needs, though they do stock minimal selection of items for most animals.
Got my friend a small fish bowl for her goldfish. Staff was very friendly and attentive, but not overburdening like some stores. They definitely know their stuff and are very good at running a business. Its a really cool place that makes you feel like youre at home.
Friendly, helpful and KNOWLEDGEABLE service. This fella is able to answer any questions. Has helped us on many occasions! We drive all the way from Ripley, WV and wont go anywhere else for our aquarium needs.
Friendly faces eager to help!
Anything you need for the aquarium hobby they have. Excellent selection of freshwater and saltwater fish to choose from. Also,they have accessories galore and are very knowledgeable. Friendly staff and good prices keeps my wife and I as customers. I should also mention they have great parking.
Always helpful & quick to help customers
I will not go anywhere else! Hands down the best
Belpre aquarium has some of the most helpful employees. Lots of stock to choose from which is consistently updated and good prices.
Always buy our fish there
Ken and Brian and staff knowledgeable great stock and healthy fish
Theyre great people and very knowledgeable and have been very helpful with my problems with my tank
Very great friendly knowledgeable staff. Small old fashion feel type store. But theres fish and aquarium so theres that.
The best pet supply location in the Mid Ohio Valley, the best products from a helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Love doing business with Brian and Ken. Very knowledgeable and they can order in beautiful, healthy specimens upon request. Weve been doing business with Belpre Aquarium for the past 10 years during our saltwater hobby. I highly recommend them.
This store is Animal Abuse/Animal Neglect. It is absolutely shameful that this store even has good reviews in the first place, and that they treat their animals like this. They keep a handful of big rats jammed into one small rusty cage. They keep Guinea pigs in a plastic tote and there is hardly any walking space. The store is small and should not have that many pets crowded closely together in disgusting cages. Matter of fact, they shouldnt be allowed to sell pets at all. Disgraceful.
Love this place! Staff and Owner are Always nice and super informative and helpful. We live in the Plains and drive over 45 mins to go here for our pet needs!!
Good selection, excellent staff. Visit a few times and you will become a recognized regular.... the kind of place where the staff get to know you and your setup, then make a recommendation from a place of understanding. Support the areas only real LFS, you wont regret it.
Super great prices amazing people and everything there is very cute and I love the decorations 🥰.
This store abuses there animals and has very little knowledge of animals. They keep the Guinea Pigs in plastic storage bins with pine bedding and no hay. The male rats they have are very overweight. They had a dead mouse in the tank and it looked like it was in a fight and had been in there for a long time. The gerbils barely have any bedding to dig and they keep adult animals with babies. This store has to many animals together. All they sell is crappy low quality animal products such as food with poor nutritional values and wire and mesh wheels. They don’t know anything about exotic animals. Do not support this store until they stop selling animals. Chain pet stores like pet supplies plus take better care of there animals than here.
Long time customer, great place with a great selection. They even helped me out in a time of need when I couldnt house a pet after moving, they found a home for him. That was incredible.
Went in there the other day and they seem really cool. Have a lot of cool fish and other animals, however they lost my business when I saw that they sell hermit crabs with painted shells. Painted shells are VERY toxic to hermit crabs and will kill them.
Love this place. Employees are always ready to help. Tons of fish & supplies. Also have birds, reptiles, & some small mamals. If they dont have something youre looking for they are willing to order it. Been going here since I was a kid, hope to continue going here for many years.
Generally a really great place that is local and is a son and pop business.Plenty of wonderful fish and coals to choose from if you plan on having fish.There are also birds, hermit crabs, lizards and several other little critters here.Also a go to place for any reptile owner in the area as they have a good selection of feeder insects and pinkies.If you like to support local businesses and like fish and other small pets then this is the place for you.The only con is that there are generally at max 3 people working there and right after work it can get really busy and they can quickly get over whelmed. So if this is the case just try to be patient
From animal abuse to the horrible way they talk to people/make people feel I would never buy from them again. Theyre only in it for the money, definitely not the welfare of animals and fish. One Guinea pig had incredibly severe bumble foot on every foot, but was still being bred and kept with 4 others in a 3sq.ft. enclosure covered in feces and urine. Urine scald everywhere. Rats overweight overheated and overstocked, not to mention the improper diets on all accounts of small animals. Reptiles without proper lighting or enclosures. I could go on for days.
Good selection, good prices, nice staff
Its a simple as this: these guys know fish and how best to care for them.
Very knowledgeable of tropical fish. Its a local business. Ken,Brian and staff are always helpful. Ive been a customer for over 40 years.
The older gentlemen had always been very accommodating!!!! He truss very very hard to make sure that his fish are well cared for and in good health and that every experience is a great one and you leave a happy customer!!! Was even willing to drive to my house to try to help me figure out what was wing with my fish n how to fix it..... And when they got sick and died.... Even though it wasnt known exactly what was wrong or why they died.... He covered the cost of the medicine as well as basically ALL of my fish!!!! I dont go anywhere else for any of my fish needs!!!!!
I’m interested on the vacant job positions Sir/Ma’am. I can’t call you today, can I just get the email address you have? Thank You!
SERIOUS ANIMAL NEGLECT. Do not come here for anything other than fish. Living conditions of the birds and rodents was abysmal. The smell was absolutely horrible, Ive worked in hospitals and nursing homes and never smelled anything that disgusting. The smell of the urine and feces about knocks you out as soon as you enter. The rodents have very little food no hides, and there cages look like they havent been cleaned in months. That much ammonia build up is dangerous for birds and rodents, as well as people. Not to mention the fact that these exotics were all crammed in cages in a tiny corner in the back of the store.. One of the female employees was sweet but the rest were apathetic and cared little about the animals in there care. In my opinion the should just stick to selling fish as the clearly dont care about their other animals.
Minus 2 stars for the strong stink that just about knocks you down. The fish look great; I didnt see a bunch of dead or weak ones. I cant imagine the smell coming from the aquariums, so my guess is the reptiles, rodents, and birds. I would probably buy fish here, but try to hold my breath.
Great people that know what theyre doing. Healthy clean animals. Highly recommend
Great little local pet store with knowledgeable staff. Ill definitely be back again!
Clean, good selection and helpful and friendly staff!!!
I love this place the people that work there are amazing and always helpful
Good people vary nice. And a vary clean store and there fish tanks are cristol clear just love going there
Shopped here with my family since I was a little boy. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful year round. Never have had a bad experience.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Freshwater, saltwater, reptiles, birds, and small pets such as hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. Excellent selection of pet supplies.
Many tropical fish not found most other places.
I really enjoy this shop. I mainly deal with Brian or Dillion.I’m a new reefer and they make appropriate suggestions for my tank. Always willing to get something I want that may not be readily available.It’s a family business the actually cares about the customers who come in the door. If you like the aquatic hobbies — this is the place for the MOV. Especially for saltwater.
I have been going here for over 35 years. They take great care with their fish and animals and very kind and helpful. I dont go anywhere else.Chris Morris Saint Marys, WV
Very nice gentlemen was working today.Was eager to help and answer questions. Prices was cheaper then the other pet stores in the area.They have the cool stuff like shrimp,snails & frogs.Enjoyed my visit!Thanks
I have a lot of fish and saltwater fish if youre into those I have a huge tortoise that usually runs around on the floor if hes in the back you can go back and see him.. staff is very friendly and helpful
Great place got every thing i was looking for
All around great fish store due to the rather large variety inside their store
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff as well as an awesome selection of fish and supplies
The owner was an absolute joy to talk to and the variety of animals was awesome. You have to check out the living coral in his tanks could have watched them for hours.
Have shopped here for years and years always great service and excellent staff
Wonderful local business with owners and staff who really care about their customers and furry/feathered/scaly friends.
Great variety of pets; the mice are adorable!
Excellent service frome everyone there, the quality of their plants and animals as well as the prices are just unbeatable! If I could Id give a 6 star rating for just how great this place and how good of a job theyre doing.
Great very helpful and friendly staff new place for us to get saltwater fish
They had some good looking pets.
Friendly knowledgeable staff, excellent selection, and very healthy specimens!! Will return again and again!
Love it best place to go get supplies fish, turtles, and other pets and things. I have been going there for 30+ years.
These guys are probably the best aquarium shop Ive ever been to in my entire life
Love the place. Know the owner and employee as friends
My favorite place to get our fish. Brian is awesome. The guys are always helpful and very knowledgeable!!
Love this place always there to help and gave what I need most of the time
The staff is very helpful. I am starting in to saltwater so I will be visiting frequently.
Dark and stinky inside. The girl that works here told me it was fine to house two Syrian hamsters together, which is terribly wrong. The only wheels available are mesh/wired wheels, which are dangerous for any small animal. Steer clear of this place.
Cozy & helpfulMom & pop type store
Great place for fresh or saltwater fish. Also a wide variety of corals. The variety of fish is awesome. They will even order any type of fish you want.
This is the best aquatic pet store in the area. Always very helpful,take the time to explain any and all my questions, No matter how simple or complex!
Excellent shop. Trust them with all my aquarium questions and needs.
Great place good selection and friendly and knowledgeable staff
Great place to spend money and get insulted while doing so. They offer a wide array of fish but not much knowledge. I’ve dealt with these ppl for many yrs and know some of them outside of the business. The owner is a nice guy , however, he’s not there much . I have a fish I bought from here that stopped eating and I got my water checked elsewhere ( it was perfect) but my baby still isn’t eating so I’m calling a place in Cincinnati and having a guy come to my house . Big money but worth it ... I called Belpre aquarium before contacting Ohio, to see if they would be interested in coming to check my tank . Guy didn’t let me get that far . So educate yourself and be prepared for blunders. Seek education elsewhere , it will save you the embarrassment and frustration 😊 Good show though .. no ppl skills . Ppl tried to warn me but I had to learn the hard way . Hopefully my fish makes it . The first stuff they sold me almost did him in . It was for salt water fish 🙄
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Very friendly and great with kids!
Knowledgeable staff. Some great deals on fish. Some very nice folks. Best in the area.
Friend of mine says they know where the reptiles, amphibians, and other animals come from (Reptiles by Mack, one of the most infamous large-scale reptile breeders), and continues to order from them, resulting in more mistreatment. Best to steer clear and go to a Reptile expo or find a breeder that lives nearby
The owner was knowledgeable are they had what I needed
Everyone is very knowledgeable and kind always willing to help and answer questions!! Great fish selection!!
I used to love this store and now it is a disappointment. I just moved back to the area and visited it for the first time in a few years. It was dirty, smelled, unorganized, and to top it off the care for the animals was shocking! None of the reptiles had adequate housing. None of the reptiles had proper lighting with some not having any at all. When I talked to the employee there was very little response. I reported all the issues to HSOV. They have lost all my respect for a credible pet store.
Staff is friendly, very helpful, and knowledgeable. Best place for saltwater aquariums.
Best local fish store in the area! Very knowledgeable and helpful! Great selection of fish and coral!

Excellent customer service as always
This is definitely the best Aquarium shop/ Pet shop in the area. The staff have knowledge and passion for what they do which makes all the difference.
Its a good store for fish and birds not reptiles they most likely have MBD due to lack of uv and huge dragons in small 20gal tanks isnt right I do like the staff and owner they are very nice

2022-04-10I discovered this place about a year ago when frantically calling around to pawn off some unfriendly tetras. I literally haven’t gone to another fish store since, even though it’s a 1½-hour drive. That’s how good it is.I can’t say too much about the reptiles and birds (no experience), but the selection of fish, snails, shrimp, plants and other various aquatic friends is top-notch. They take quite good care of their stock, too, and are great at answering even the most obscure questions. Their best quality in my opinion: they’re all honest folks: they won’t try and sell you sick shrimp, incompatible fish or anything that they wouldn’t be comfortable buying themselves.

2022-01-05My sons first visit to a pet store. The staff was helpful and so nice. They even let him help feed fish. It was clean and organized and everything was fairly priced. A great little father/son owned and operated business. We will return!

2020-07-26Ive gotten several fish and aquatic plants from here. Very wide selection and super healthy fish! Ive had a few Blue Rams from here that only lived a few months, but they are a very delicate and sensitive fish, definitely not the fault of the store. All of my Gouramis and snails (which Ive had success with getting them to breed!) from here are still living and in excellent shape, as well as the aquatic plants Ive purchased from them. Hands down the widest selection in the MOV on fish! Photos are of one of my tanks with fish, plants and snails Ive purchased from Belpre Aquarium.

2022-04-22A cage with two Guinea pigs had no water whatsoever; not even a bottle. The rats and mice in the back were barely breathing, but I was told theyre sleeping. The other rats and mice crawling over them didnt bother the sleeping ones. Extremely overcrowded cages. I have many pictures, and I will be taking them to the proper people.

2021-10-03This shop is awesome! We bought fish and aquarium set up supplies. The staff was exceptionally friendly and spent time educating me and my husband regarding firsttime aquarium ownership. They have a huge selection of fresh and salt water fish, plants and supplies. Can’t say enough good about them!
