Big Al’s has been a prominent Canadian aquarium and pet retailer since the mid-1970s. Whether you are new to aquarium life or a seasoned aquarist, we are your best option for species and supplies in Newmarket. As a full Aquarium Supercentre, we carry everything from tanks to equipment and from fish food to plants, supplements and accessories. Moreover, we also offer an extensive product catalogue for pond fish, reptiles, dogs, cats, birds and small animals like hamsters and rabbits.

We are famous for our “Enter the Deep” zone, which showcases the aquarium hobby through a fun and educational experience. Here you can walk through tanks with vibrant ecosystems for freshwater and marine species. You can also see why we are known across Canada as “The Aquarium Specialists.” Our tropical fish come directly from Florida aquaculture farms; we also provide complete tank and ecosystem maintenance through our Big Al’s Aquatic Care program, which is also available 24/7 in case of emergencies.

Beyond our aquariums, koi pond, shark tank and saltwater reef systems, we also offer a full line of pet supplies from renowned brands. You can shop for canine grooming supplies, specialty food, collars, crates, kennels and more. We also carry a full line of products for feline care, from food to litter boxes and from bowls to gourmet snacks. Our assortment of bird care products includes cages, perches, cleaning supplies, bedding, medications and more.

As part of Big Al’s commitment to supporting the aquarium hobbyist community, we offer Weekly Fish-E Specials with discounts on select species like gold barbs, choprae danios, red honey gouramis, and marine beauties like Banggai cardinals and tangs. Don’t forget to inquire about our gift cards, which are always perfect gifts for hobbyists.
