The owner is awesome and very helpful. So many beautiful fishes and I even enjoyed his talking parrot. Tanks were clean and fishes look healthy. I would recommend this place to everyone.

This was one of the BEST in the 1980's and 1990's into the 2000's but when ownership changed, it haven't been the favorite spot.I'll go when desperate enough and if they have something I might want like feeders.

I’ve had good experiences here. The new owner has always done His best for Me. I have bought some extraordinary species here. I’ve been coming here for 13 years and will stay a repeat customer for a long time to come.🐟

Really good selection of tropical fish. It might not look like a great store from the outside, but it's pretty well stocked. You can strike good deals with them... no tax if paid in cash, two of the same type of fish for a lower price, etc. I was a bit intimidated by the location, but it was a pretty cool visit. I was pleasantly surprised by the deals I was able to get just by talking to the young guy working there.

The place is a DUMP I used to go here years ago when it had the magic... all the tanks are dirty and alot of the tanks have sick fish in them ... definitely quarantine your fish before u add them to your tank if u have bought from here

I left pretty disappointed. The other reviews made me think this place would be great. As soon as I entered the entire place smelled like cigarette smoke and the tanks were all dirty, they obviously haven't been cleaned in a long time. As for the selection of fish, everything seemed average. The prices were also very average to other fish stores. I would not recommend this place.

Went in looking to buy some discus. They have a good selection of them for great prices. They're no grade A discus, but still very nice fish for the price. Good selection of other fish and supplies as well. The staff is very friendly, very helpful and knowledgeable.

VERY DISAPPOINTED! All the tanks were filthy and poor fish looked like they're on death row! I went looking for plants and they were all melting and looked neglected. Every tank was full of algae and filthy. None of their inventory looked maintained or had a water change in ages. This place needs an overhaul and serious cleaning. SAD to see a family business in this shape and even sadder for the fish that were in stock. Taking any of them home in the water they're in ...I doubt they would survive the trip home. Hardly any supplies were on the wall to buy either. I HOPE WHEN COVID CLEARS THAT THIS STORE can fix all the issues its got. It's hard to find tropical fish stores as it is. The rating this store has is far from its 5 star days. POOR FISH!!

I'm giving this shop 2 stars because the plant bundles were healthy and fairly cheap. But to be fair, plants do tend to like decomposing animals, and there was plenty of that in nearly every tank in the store. The goldfish were crammed together in a tiny tank, all of which were breathing heavily in thick, cloudy water. Dead loaches, cories, bettas, plecos, shrimp, nearly every tank had one or more dead animals in it. If they had one in the store, there was bound to be another one dead somewhere. The entire place stank of cigarettes, and there were empty beer bottles on the counter and littered across the shelves when I visited. Mice and other animals not listed as feeders were kept in disgusting condition. Some of the tanks without overhead lids reeked of ammonia as well, which is no surprise when there's fish rotten away to the bone sitting at the bottom of the displays. The employees are questionable at best, the information I saw them dishing out was highly inaccurate. The main cashier recommended yoyo loaches (small, fragile tropical fish) to a customer looking for a tankmate for their ryukin goldfish (large, coldwater fish that would easily kill or eat a loach, even if only out of curiosity). They also recommended new saltwater tank owners perform a fish in cycle -which is a highly unsuccessful method of cycling a new set up. This also typically results in dead fish, as they succumb to the stress of an unitrified environment before you can establish an appropriate system. It really sounded like the owners were just saying anything to get their potential customers to impulse buy animals, and coma back later for more when things didn't work out. I left feeling pretty disgusted after seeing and hearing all I did. I plan on returning sometime soon to see if anything has changed, but I highly doubt it. I've reviewed numerous pet supply shops, especially fish shops, and I would never recommend this place to anyone looking for information regarding fishkeeping.Check out Age of Aquariums (Long Beach), Tiki's Tropical Fish (Bellflower), or Hong Kong Fish (Norwalk) for some amazing animal care tips, cheap supplies, and responsible sellers. It's hard to even compare those shops to this one, the difference in quality is pretty unbelievable. They deserve your business more than this place does.
