Felix was so personable and Knowledgable. I was hesitant to call someone because I felt my tank was not really big and should have been fairly easy to care for but they are harder than you think! Felix did not make me feel silly at all. He gave me so much good advice, told me exactly what equipment to buy to keep my tank clear and make water changes easy. He really has a passion for this line of work and it shows. I will definitely be calling him in the future !
My first experience with Felix was when literally saved our fishs life over the phone free of charge without any solicitation for future work. When I did hire him to service our tank and give us a 101 lesson on proper care, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and reliable. I will call Felix from now on for any of our tank needs!
Felix is amazing!!! Before I even purchased my tank, I became in contact with Felix because I had a ton of questions as a newbie. He helped me every step of the way, and I wasn’t even a paying customer just yet. His passion for saltwater aquariums is infectious, which has caused me to fall in love with the hobby even more. All thanks to Felix!
Felix always does a wonderful job cleaning and servicing our tank. He is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of fish and knows the best ways to maintain a healthy tank. I would highly recommend his aquarium service to anyone!!
I called this service by chance looking for help with our goldfish that where experiencing health issues. Felix sat on the phone with me free of charge and listened to my concerns and explained everything I was doing wrong and how to fix it. I honestly couldn’t be more appreciative of his patience and willingness to help me with this problem!!! Definitely give him a call if you have any issues with your aquarium!! He is not the type of guy that is going to try and sell you a bunch of products instead he explains the science of proper water care and how to achieve the proper environment for you fish. Highly recommended!
Felix is the best at aquarium service! He has helped me set up my fish tanks on numerous occasions. I have him come over regularly to clean my tank and provide all the maintenance. With Felix, I can enjoy my tanks without all the hard work and time required which I dont have due to my demanding job. I completely trust Felix to come into my apartment when Im not home. Hes become a good friend as well as providing me a great service! I highly recommend him. Thanks Felix. I hope this helps you get lots of new clients. Doc
Felix is the man!! He set up my reef aquarium from scratch and it’s looking beautiful. He is knowledgeable and hard working. Even tho he comes to do service on my tank, he always answers my texts and my calls when I have an answer about my tank. I was afraid to start my first fish tank especially being a saltwater tank but he has made the experience very fun and enjoyable. Oh, and he always leaves everything supper clean when he’s done. He is not a messy worker by no means.
Before Felix my tank crashed a lot and I went threw a lot of tank cleaning companies but know Felix is the one and only Felix is honesty the best I recommend him he’s always available to help and he just loves fish he loves to help. One of a kind
The service was extremely helpful in diagnosing and fixing the problem with the tank. Felix was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this service. My fish is happy too!
My fish are happy and healthy!He knows his stuff and is very informative.Felix is also organized, professional, hard working and very fast. Awesome job! Thank you again!
Felix was so incredibly helpful and is very knowledgeable about any fish related matter. I can’t thank him enough for taking his time to help me out with my Beta fish. I would highly recommend him to anyone
Top quality personalized service. I called with general questions about my new fish, and the owner himself, Felix, listened to even my most basic questions and gave thorough answers and explanations. I’m very grateful. My fish is already happier. Best Aquarium Service NYC are genuine professional experts. 5 stars, highly recommend.
My name is Gibson Kinloch.I just spent 35 minutes on the phone with the owner of Best Aquarium, Felix.Not only was he super informative, but he was patient and did not try and sell me on buying anything for my current set up. He provide solutions to create the best environment possible for my fish.With his knowledge, attention to detail and passion for fish, I will only be using Best Aquarium Service, Inc for all my fish needs going forward. Thanks Felix!
HUGE thank you to Best Aquarium Services NYC Inc. for their help! I called as a last resort to save my beautiful Betta. He has progressively worsening fin rot that I had been treating for months, and absolutely nothing was working. When I called I spoke to the owner, Felix, who very patiently listened to my problems, and I explained everything, he gave me detailed instructions on how to proceed. Almost two weeks later and my pretty boy is doing so much better! His fins are regrowing and his blue coloring is coming back super quickly. He has a ways to go before he’s back to where he started, but without the help of this company my fish would have died being less than a year old. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Best Aquarium Service is fantastic. Felix is always reliable and takes time to educate and answer all questions. Also, my place is never a mess when completed. I would highly recommend them!
Felix is now deservedly well-known throughout the New York City metro area for his expertise in setting up, servicing, diagnosing and resolving problems with both saltwater and tropical (freshwater) tanks. The New York Times recently profiled Felix in a major feature story on high-quality aquarium doctors for both businesses and residences. Based on my personal experience with having Felix set up a 34-gallon GloFish tank, he can handle everything from a 10 gallon tank to 450 gallons and above, all while educating you on how to prevent future issues and problems. His educational focus and service orientation are what really set him apart, and his $275 minimum house call charge is a bargain for the value you receive in return.
Top of the line STELLAR service. Patient, knowledgeable and honest work. Id recommend this service company to anyone. My fish is a happy camper thanks to Felix. I look forward to future maintenance from them. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and advice. Truly grateful.
Felix is a horrible communicator and the work he does is horrible as well as very overpriced no more then 2 weeks after he installed and set up my tank did all my fish and corals die. I don’t know what he did but he was horrible and I wouldnt even recommend him to my worst enemy.
Called for Some advice, and did he have it.Felix was professional, and helped me in a time my tank needed some more expertise than I could provide.Time of day and slow detailed explanations rather than rush me off the phone. Great service. Thanks!
I havent even used his service yet but I am completely won over by his willingness to assist me over the phone. How rare is that?! Most times you call a business you get curt answers and feel rushed. Felix listened to me, he heard what I wanted to do, he took me through the process and made me aware of the possible outcome. And then......wait for it.....instead of trying to cement a sale he offered me alternatives!!!! Who does that?! Felix! I cant believe the customer service I just received. Thank you for patiently answering all my questions and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
Felix!!!!!! Its awesomeVery professional and he really knows how take good care of your aquarium.Our tank was in really bad shape😩 Until we found Felix in Google and now we have a healthy and beautiful aquarium including babies!!!!!
I called Felix because my other Service wasnt doing the right job. Im glad i did. These Guys are Awesome ! My Aquarium has NEVER Looked Better !! And he taught me a few things. I HIGHLY Recomend The NY Fish Guy !
Its great to have someone I can trust to take care of our large fish tank. Knowing nothing about fish can be overwhelming when theyre in your care, but Felix makes it all as easy as can be.
Called Felix thinking he had a brick and mortar business, but he didnt and it did not matter because he easily resolved my pleco issue expertly. Clearly knew his business. He is now my first call on any of my aquarium issues.
I called with a few questions about getting rid of relentless algae. I followed Felixs advice over the course of a few months and my tank is looking better than ever. Thanks again :)!
Like the name its no false advertising here best service Ive had. He is very polite, respectful, and hands down knows his stuff. Im big on punctuation, he was definitely on time. Looking forward to working with you again.
This man Felix is a fraud. His company/website is fraudulent. When we initially found his service online, he was in constant communication for our initial tank cleaning. He claimed that he does not take check, only cash! As a business we need to keep a record of all our expenses, therefore I explained that in order to use his, we must write a check.Mr. Felix asked that we write a check for the follow up month so he can cash it and be sure it was a valid check. He cashed the check, and we never heard from him again.When we tried contacting him for approximately 1 month, there was no answer, eventually going directly to VM, Im assuming he blocked the phone number. Then I called from my personal cell phone, and what do you know? there was an answer.While demanding an answer, he hung up the phone on me, and also will not answer again.FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD
Amazing service and information! My tank had an ammonia spike and the gentleman on the phone kindly walked me through the steps to get my ammonia levels back in check! Fantastic information would highly recommend to anyone who is in need of aquatic services or information!
Felix turned my long neglected aquarium, that I was ready to throw in a dumpster, into a beauty.Very professional.I highly recommend him.
Felix is awesome, kind, and caring. He provided excellent advice for my betta fish, in the midst of this global pandemic.
Felix is absolutely the best!!! I trust no one else with my turtle. He does such a thorough job explaining the process, gives me tips on maintenance, and is really friendly!!!!

2022-02-13My overall experience with Felix was absolutely phenomenal! He came in and jumped into action and got to work. Not only did he clean my tank, he educated me on the types of fish that would work well for me and what I want. He had great suggestions and was very polite. Felix’s energy was the best he was passionate about his craft and super engaging with my self and everyone else in the household. Not only will I continue using his service I will be recommending his service to everyone I know!

2022-03-08Felix is an extremely knowledgable and efficient professional! We have a small fish tank that we were unsure how to clean. He came and showed us everything, step by step, and taught the homeowners young son exactly how to do everything on his own. In addition to teaching us how to do the cleaning, he explained the reasoning and the science behind everything so we knew not just how to do it but why to do it that way. He even told us what other fish would go good with our current fish & set up, and suggested specific food brands. He was very communicative and answered our questions that came up via text even after the appointment. We would definitely go back to him for any fish needs, and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone in this area!

2021-08-30Best Aquarium Services NYC is nothing short of AMAZING!!! Felix set up a stunning fish tank for our home. My husband and I were so impressed with his level of knowledge, his professionalism and excellent customer service. He answered all of our questions, educated us about how our tank systems (filters/heaters/timers) work, and taught us how to care for our new little fish friends. The fact that he will be servicing our tank gives us added peace of mind! Our kids are so happy and I am thrilled to have a beautiful relaxing “Zen Piece” to look at while unwinding after a long day :) Thank you so much Felix!! GREAT JOB!!!!

2021-10-16The whole experience was amazingly very professional. Felix provided updates on his ETA so I knew exactly when he would arrive and he was very punctual as well. He was very knowledgeable about fish & aquarium care and even showed me how to carefully clean the tank myself, something no other tank cleaner ever did, which was priceless. His love for the environment and the ecosystem was evident in how he talked and his actions as he expressed to me how he volunteers at local schools and church to give back to his community. God bless this man.

2021-04-17Felix is beyond incredible!! He truly knows his stuff!! We recently got a Betta fish as a first pet for our son and wanted to be sure we were caring for him correctly. Felix answered all of our questions with patience and expertise. He even gave us his cell phone number to text him if we had any issues or concerns. I truly cannot thank him enough. He loves what he does and it shows. Run, dont walk to Felix. You will not be disappointed!

2021-01-18Felix is a talented professional. He has been servicing our 3 fish tanks for the last 5 years and always does an outstanding job. He really is passionate about aquatic animals and is always available with helpful suggestions and ideas. We couldn’t keep our aquariums going without him.

2021-01-07Felix was an amazing resource! During the pandemic we decided to get fish for our kids, and Felix walked us through the entire process every step of the way, taking into consideration all of our concerns (including not wanting to go into stores because of Covid). He sent specific listings, helped evaluate options, and answered my kids many questions. He is one of the most knowledgeable experts in his field - I kind of wish we were in market for more aquariums so we could work with him again! I cannot recommend him highly enough.
