Absolutely one of THE BEST fish stores, and totally worth the travel wherever you’re coming from! There’s always a great variety of fish in stock, amazing selection of dry goods from rock and driftwood and only the best foods! and Louise is always open to making special orders which is awesome. Here’s a picture of my Marine Betta she found for me!

Louise is an amazing artist of aquascaping, my partner and I frequently visit her to spin ideas and to grab new supplies. She special orders anything you need or want, and even holds orders for her regular customers. I’ve been a regular for almost two years already , and I’ve never had a dull moment when Louise is helping me. Better yet, she has such a wide variety of products to choose from and we always leave with something great in hand. great foods, amazing stones, great selection of healthy and quality fish/invertebrates. Would totally recommend this shop to any open minded aquarium enthusiast! Checkout her Facebook page for more information, including store hours and her Fishy Friday updates!

Love the shop, and Louise has the knowledge to get your tank stocked up perfectly. Always has the “oddball” fish and in great condition. I live near that fish place, and I would choose to drive to this shop any day. Nano fish selection is on-point.

Louise was an awesome help and did I mention totally cool! I've been around this area far and wide and this store has by far the most variety of fish I've seen. It's worth the travel to go there 100%. I plan to do all my future fish shopping there.

This store has everything. The fish are all VERY healthy, well fed, and loved. The owner is a complete pro, too. As long as you don't inundate her with superfluous questions or waste her time five minutes before closing the way I do all the time, she will take care of you very well.

Amazing local fish shop. I drive down from East Stroudsburg for fish and plants and supplies for my tanks. The owner is friendly, knowledgeable, and does her best to help everyone even when it’s swamped with customers. She’s carries a great selection of fish from nanos to the big bois. And her bettas are to die for gorgeous, making this anti-beta aquarist want to change her tune.

Staff is great and very knowledgeable. The owner even more so and the fish she has is stock is great for beginners or experts for home aquariums. All the fish look extremely healthy and in good shape. She was even kind enough to buy some of our mystery snails when we had a over abundance of them. She is even kind and patient when we are there with our 2 toddlers. Will definitely keep stopping in for fish for our tanks and other odd items. Definitely better than going to the chain stores.

Went in for 1 Cory Catfish and left with a new rimless tank and a new project which I’m sure will turn out to be an awesome aquatic habitat! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Excellent selection, healthy fish and an owner who loves to share her passion for aquatics. Will always support a small, woman owned business!

Amazing shop! Very clean, and fish all looked super healthy. I live a little over an hour away and already talking with wife when we can drive up there again. Prices were very fair! Owner was super kind and helpful. Highly recommend.

Fantastic local fish store, if you live anywhere nearby you must visit! This place is the aquarium co-op of the east lol. Louise is very knowledgable and a true hobbyist. They have a wide selection of healthy livestock and plants including many locally bred species which is awesome!

Took my first trip to this store today and I can't wait to return. The store was nice with a great selection, clean healthy tanks. Staff was an absolute pleasure to chat with... And I especially love that the Betta are not in little cups!We will return to fill up some cycling tanks soon!

Beautiful shop with amazing selection of fish, plants, and invertebrates. All the tanks looks great and the fish look healthy and happy. Louise (the owner) was knowledgeable and easy to talk to!

Today was my first trip to Elite Menagerie Habitats. I was very impressed. This is what a fresh water fish store should be. I did not see one dead fish. I believe every tank in the store had live plants. The selection was very good. Anything from cichlids, discus, community fish, large selection of live bearers, shrimp, and even puffers. The workers were very knowledgeable and were helpful but didn’t crowd you. I must say I will be making the 45 minute trip again very soon. If natural looking planted tanks are your thing I highly suggest you visit Elite Menagerie Habitats.

Took a hour and a half drive to check out the store today and I was pleasantly surprised! Great freshwater fish store, for sure!! Picked up two gorgeous German Blue Rams and the elusive True Siamese Algae Eater. I especially like how all the tanks have some sort of aquascaping done in them. Also, the betta fish were all in actual tanks not just in tiny little cups looking all sad. I will definitely be back next time I go on an aquarium fish store tour.

What can I say?! We stopped by today for the first time! And we were pleasantly surprised! So many things to see! The fish were all beautiful. And can I say how excited I was that I finally found a rabbit snail!!! The aquariums are so well taken care of! And the owner is so knowledgeable! Just from the short time I was in the store, I learned a few new things! It was most definitely worth the 1 1/2 hour drive!! We will definitely be visiting again soon!! Take a Drive & visit this fish store! From breeding hwr own fish to making her own shrimp sticks! The owner definitely loves what she does!

This place is great and the only place I will go. Louise has been nothing but kind, informative and passionate about her fish and proper fish management and spends more time then she has on us. Drive a hour every time to get there. She always has incredible and healthy fish and takes the time to explain proper care.

Elite Menagerie is easily the best local aquarium fish store in the Lehigh Valley area. Walking in for the first time, you feel like a kid in a candy shop with all of the unique fish species. Louise, who runs the place, is great. She is super knowledgeable about fishkeeping, very practical, and all of the aquariums she has are run very nicely. You can feel her loThe fish you find here are very unique, and many of them, Louise, breed herself. Many of them you can't find at your big box stores, or you'll have to order them online. There is also a great selection of aquatic plants and mosses as well. Everything is extremely well priced as well, which is great! I would recommend Elite Menagerie to the experienced hobbyist or you are new to the hobby. You won't be disappointed.

The owner is absurdly disrespectful to anyone and everyone. She also has a nasty attitude. Will not be shopping here in the future.

If you are in or near the Lehigh Valley you need to visit this store for your aquatic needs and fish. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. A place like this has been missing for far too long, and if you have an aquarium, you should visit!

Always friendly service and a good, ever revolving, selection of great nano fish (as well as other types of fish and invertebrates)

Great selection. The owner is very professional and friendly. We spent a good 15 to 20 minutes talking with her after we made our purchase.
