Dedication to our fish and animals

At Elmer’s we’re committed to providing quality care for every fish we sell

Healthy Fish Starts at the Source

Healthy fish start with the source. Over 55 years we have built strong relationships with each of our suppliers and we continue to see enhanced quality in the fish we get. Many of our fish come from reputable Florida fish farms in the Tampa area that are flown to us on a weekly basis. We also have a few local suppliers from right here in Pennsylvania! 

Fish Care in Our Store

Once the fish arrive in our store, they are acclimated to our system by a dedicated team that follows through on maintenance, regular water changes, and ensuring the water chemistry are at proper levels. Fish that require special treatment when they arrive are isolated and treated until they are well. Our professional staff performs daily checks in our show-room, assessing the animals’ overall health and vigor. We do our utmost best to ensure fish that are ill are not sold.

Our in-store system uses multiple filtration zones and ultraviolet sterilizers to keep our water at its cleanest. Our fish receive high quality foods such as TetraPro Crisps and frozen Canadian Mysis Shrimp.

Committment to Customer Success

Elmer’s commitment extends beyond when our fish leave the store. By providing education to our customers, we ensure the continued well-being of the animals as well as customer satisfaction. Aquarium experts on our team are here to answer questions on stocking, compatibility, and provide guidance on equipment and care. We offer in-store water testing to help diagnose problems and keep you on the path to success.
