Our story

John Gerber opened Gerber's Tropical Fish 25 years ago as a local distributor and wholesale business. After many of the local chains began to discontinue saltwater fish sales Mr.Gerber opened his doors to the public to continue fostering the aquarium hobby in the greater Dayton area. Since opening John has expanded the storefront a few times, proving his love and dedication for not only fish but reptiles too. Gerber’s now offers a large variety of freshwater and saltwater fish, corals, reptiles, food for all of aquarium friends’ needs, and a large selection of dry goods. If Gerber’s doesn’t have it in stock, they will get you any fish you wish!
