Good prices when compared to other local mom & pop stores. OK aquarium supplies selection. Friendly staff - for the most part. The target audience is the Saltwater enthusiast, which I'm not. I like freshwater fish and that's why I rated them 3 stars. I'm sure the Saltwater folks would be very happy here.
Lastly, they have an online store which is OK or functional, but nothing spectacular. That said, there are minimal aquatic online shopping stores in Canada, so it's an option. I use this site to compare prices with other stores. Using this site, I also compare Canadian pricing to American pricing to see if it's worth going to the states to buy. -

This place is awful due to the staffs!!!! When I first walked in this place , I thought this store was self service or something cuz there were one staff sitting at front didn't say anything even she knew we walked in!
I thought it was nice cuz they got all kinds of equipments and fish. however, after we walked in the back, we saw two staffs standing by the counter, chatting and ignoring customers. We try to ask a few questions, but this white chubby guy replied very coldly. After we decided to grab a few corals that maybe was worth alot to him, he was keep saying:" 100 bucks! 100 bucks! 100 bucks..."( in a discriminated way) I was like keep thinking was he looking down at me? Cuz a few $100 corals is cheap to me, I know this might be a lot for this guy, but I think he was just looking down at Asian people.
Then, we paid.when I start to walk out, I wanted have a glance of the tank they have at front. This same white guy was talking to some customers, and I think he knew me was standing behind him watching the tank, so he took a step back and moved left so that totally blocked view! My girlfriend and me were sure he did it on purpose! I could tell that guy hate either rich people or just Asian people!
Here is another story. When I realize I had too many worms in my tank do I decided to buy something that can eat them. So I asked the staff in the store, he recommend me to get an arrow crab and told me they are REEF SAFE. I kept the crab for over 2 weeks, but not only he's not eating and ignoring worms, I realize he's starting to eat my anemone bubble(poor bubble)! So I went to another shop to trade in this crab, and I was so pissed off until they told me that arrow crab does not eat worms and he's not reef safe!!!!! I was like what!? Didn't the guy from j&l say it's okay to keep?!
So, I can now really say that staffs from j&l is unknowledgeable and so retarded that they don't even know how to treat customers right!!! I am so not ever going back to that store again! -

This is more of a review from when I used to frequent back in '05-'06. At that time I can say the place was meticulously clean, great quality fish, knowledgeable staff, and reasonable prices for livestock. Website usually up to date on most recent shipments as well!
