Gerber's Tropical Fish

This is the biggest fish store in the area. The saltwater fish section is nothing to scoff at, and they have a ton of fresh water as well. However. This is for sure more of a fish warehouse feel... make sure to wear sneakers because the floor is always wet. The focus here is on having a large amount of variety, not on having pretty rocks and lush plants in all the tanks or a beautiful store. It is bare bones on the aesthetic side. But if you want a rare fish, give them a shot because they might just have it.

Love this place. 1st time ever ...! Definitely going again. At first though it was just the one side but then it opens to The fish room and Then Another Fish room!!! The guy that helped us was very knowledgeable and nice and The Deals are Awesome!

This is a hidden gem! A girl at pet supplies plus recommended I go here and I’m glad I did! They have tortoises and frogs and spiders and all types of fresh and salt water fish! Decorative items, tanks. Really this is one of the best and well stocked stores I’ve ever been to. The associates both times I went were very knowledgeable and happy to help or chat with you about the animals. I was pleasantly surprised by the large amount of space inside with room after room of tanks. It was great. I highly recommend checking them out! I was there a few days prior and they got new redfoot tortoises in so check in often to see the new creatures!

Awesome fish. It reminded me of going to an aquarium. Bought a red guppy, dwarf frog and orange dwarf lobster. If looking for fish 1000% recommend.

My favorite pet store.. so many tanks of fish.. and lots of reptiles. Fun to just walk thru even if you're not buying

We come here to get a lot of the things we need for our reef tank. The store has everything you need for freshwater, saltwater, and more! The owner is very knowledgeable and the prices are good.

Love this place! Have bought so many of my freshwater fish here! Staff is great and helpful. Nice selection. A more visible sign would be nice, though (can't tell you how many times we've driven past this place and had to turn around).

Saltwater and freshwater , he's even got scaly things now ! He also has all your needs, tanks, additions, food, everything you need. John is great and so is his staff. Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable and if you're having problems, great recommendations for additions to your tank . Beautiful fish and quality, you don't have to worry about bringing any sickness home. Highly recommend this place if you're a new or seasoned with the aquatic lifestyle!

The employees are always friendly & they never mind answering questions you may have about any of their fish or products!! We visit weekly and it's a great experience!! Thank you Gerber's team for always being amazing!!

I’ve gone to Gerber many times over the years. Always a large selection of saltwater fish. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Good pricing. I’ve gone here for fish, inverts, corals and frozen foods. I’ve not had any issues with my selections. Glad to have this available in Dayton.

I found Nemo loved the experience to walk thru the kids loved it going to them fish very soon so guys see ya soon for everything we need and the fish

Great assortment of fish and decor. Some things were very fair as far as price and others I didn't know anything about so I'm assuming it's all in the market. Take your kids to check it out for fun and take yourself if you're into your fish

What a cool place! And helpful?! 🤯 The knowledge these folks have, and can effectively impart, is impressive, particularly as they’re seemingly such a young staff. Thank you, in particular, Eli.

Huge selection of fish! Rows and rows of freshwater fish with good prices. There's also a room of saltwater fish as well. Lots of tank accessories to choose from. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend for all of your tank needs.

Wow. I was absolutely blown away by the selection of fresh and salt water fish they had. Reptiles and turtles and everything in between. It's like a trip to New Port without leaving Dayton.

I love this place. It is like a free aquarium.

This place was extensive and had a really broad variety of both saltwater and freshwater fish! If you’re looking for something specific, look no further; chances are, they have it here.

Gerber’s also has a really large selection of supplies you will need to start a new aquarium; saltwater or fresh water. Massive selection of tanks, filters, kits and supplies of all sorts.

I’m looking to start a new aquarium soon, and Gerber’s will be my main go-to. Check it out; you’ll have a lot of fun seeing the thousands of fish they have on display!

Love this store and just had the absolute best experience with Ryan. She helped my daughter put together her new 10 gallon tank and I couldn’t have asked for a more patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic helper! Truly blown away by the customer service today.

Gerber's is fantastic! Great selection and the employees are very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely return!

Gerber's is hands down my favorite aquarium supply store in the area. Staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend going thru the week, or later in the day on weekends. This place is hoppin on the weekends and you may wait awhile if you are there to buy fish. Fish are higher priced than at your big box stores, but the quality you get far outweighs the extra cost. I honestly can not say enough positive things about this store.
