  Very knowledgeable and friendly employees. Offers the best of the best for Aquarium supplies, and has just about everything for saltwater and freshwater. Has almost all the fish you could want, excluding some of the least common fish. Prices are good and has a great selection

  This place always finds it way to get unique corals and marine fish, just like the Saga one. The manager is truly an amazing person, super helpful and caring for his costumers. I now have gotten 2 different corals from this Big Al’s and they are all doing well. I also got 2 different fishes, shohal tang and a yellow tang. I trust these guys when it comes to my reef tank. They are expensive but you will get healthy animals. Next time if your looking for new addition, go check this place out!

  The staff is quite knowledgable and they have a great selection of products and critters (although I'd be happy to see more reptiles, amphibians and arachnids - their fish selection is awesome though).

  If you keep aquariums, reptiles or creepy critters big Al's is the place! I don't find them overpriced for a specialty store which is nice and they're in a relatively convenient location on the Oshawa/Whitby border.

  Lots of selection. Staff helpful when available. Poor experience during a flouresent bulb swap...guy insisted it was my fixture and placed the bulb I returned back on the shelf...the new bulb worked perfectly so it wasn't my fixture. I get trying to be helpful but listen to what your customer has to say...we are actually right sometimes :)

  I’ve heard great things about this place, but unfortunately my experience was poor. May have just been the time of night, but for however many employees were in the store, acknowledgement and helpfulness was seriously lacking. Cashier also didn’t even speak to me and seemed miserable. Most disappointing part was that a large majority of their Betta fish were either dead and rotten or barely alive, and it was sad that they were neglected and even sadder on display in such bad shape. On a positive note, it was the best selection of plants I’ve ever seen.
