  Aquarium Paradise isn’t really as it’s described in the name. There are lots of aquariums, but I’m not sure if it’s a paradise. Located directly on busy Washington Ave, it’s in a brick building that looks pretty run down. It’s not terribly difficult to find with a large sign on the front, but the traffic may make it more or less difficult. Parking is by meter on the street. We went on a Sunday, so we did not pay anything. The inside is very dark, with few windows and lights. The walls are painted black which doesn’t really help. They might be going for a cavernous look, but I don’t think it works if that’s the case. The rest looks a bit too run down. It is about as dirty and odorous as you might expect from a fish store. The tanks are clean, though there are quite a few with labels that say cracked or damaged. It is a bit more open than many aquarium stores, which lends fewer tanks. We didn’t have too much interaction with the staff, partly because were wandered around for 5 minutes before anyone noticed we were there. Given it was a slow weekend, they may have been working on other tasks. Not being a fish expert, I cannot tell if the prices are reasonable or not. They focus a lot on aggressive and rare species like Pacu and Arowana and come with a hefty price tag. It probably won’t be my first choice, as there are closer stores. I am also more interested in planted tanks, which is not a focus at all. If you are interested in a specific rare species, they might be worth a call.

  The employee there was great however the selection was poor. I'm guessing it's because they're remodeling (like the employee told me) but I wish there was as much as when they were fully stocked. Spoiler though, they will not be selling saltwater anymore, so you're left with a selection of freshwater giants, but mostly their wide variety of piranhas. Can't wait to see how the store will eventually turn out like. Also, prices are considerably fair. Water quality is amazing all-around.
