First and for most, big thanks to Mark for putting together my dream tank. I highly recommend going here if you're looking into getting fishes, tanks etc they got it all. Also big thanks to Roy he is definitely the guy you want to set up he's awesome.

I went to Mark’s Tropical fish for my first time today, and I was extremely impressed. Such a clean spot, beautiful displays and a wonderful selection of aquatic pets. You can tell they take good care of their fish. Isaac helped me out, and he was so happy to answer any questions I had, or talk about a fellow love of fish. He was very knowledgable and has a clear passion for his job/aquatic animals. He completely sold me on finally getting some African dwarf frogs, and they had some beautiful pure white ones! I highly recommend checking this place out.Their prices on aquatic pets AND plants are also extremely reasonable/good. I’ll definitely be coming back more.(:

5 stars all around? Well deserved 👏It's always good to support local business but what stood out is their customer service. If you get lucky, Roy will be there to help you out and is very knowledgeable of the fishes in stock as well as how to care for them. If you're looking for common fishes and fiddler crabs, this is your go to place 👌

Cleanest store in town with great quality and knowledgeable staff! Stopped by to pick up a couple flying foxes for the tank and they are tearing up all the black beard algae! Will definitely stop by again for a couple platys/swordtails!

Probably the top aquarium I've seen in the area. What a gem! Very knowledgeable and nice employees that know a lot about how to take care of fish. Just top notch. 👌

As a long-time aquarist and marine biologist, I can say it is difficult to find a decent fish store, where the display tanks are clean, the livestock healthy, and the staff both knowledgeable and friendly. Mark’s is that place.Outstanding service, beautiful, hand-picked livestock, and a truly lovely setup of a store.Whether you are looking to add to your tank, set one up, or just want a nice afternoon experience, I couldn’t recommend this place more!

I’m new on salt water fish. Around the area is not many choices of good places to buy nice fish. Yesterday afterwork i went to Mark’s tropical and really felt comfortable there.1.Clean place2. Good variety of fish3. Really nice and healthy fish( what i see)And the best part of everything is that Mark was really helpful. There’s nothing better than go to fish store and some body really takes time to explain good the process of almost everything. They was closing and Mark was still explaining. Definitely i found my Local Fish Store. Thank you Mark. After my tank is fully cicle I’ll be there. That’s what you call GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

If you are looking for a LFS that is welcoming, knowledgable, and realistic Mark's is the place for you! The quality I have noticed the most in this store is their honesty. If there is a question they cannot answer they don't make something up, they point you to the team member that can better help with the question. They will talk about everything fish related and it seems as if they're just having a good time rather than clocking in and working. A huge shout out to Taylor, she has been extremely helpful for me starting up my first tank. Due to her extensive knowledge my roommate also felt comfortable enough to start up a Betta tank as well. I could likely go on for a while writing about this place because they're honestly just that amazing. Go stop in and Mark, Taylor, the two other guys (I didn't catch their names) and of course Rico (the parrot) will make you feel like family. Most importantly, my fish are happy and healthy thanks to the care they received before I brought them home (two Apistogramma Agassizii, photo of them in my tank included).

I’ve been going to Mark’s since they were in Studio City. I love the new location, and I’m happy to drive here all the way from downtown where I live now.Pros:-easy parking-brightly lit store-the cleanest fish store I’ve ever visited-doesn’t smell-no salt creep or hard water stains on the tanks-never any dead fish in the tanks-friendly staffThe only con:-the small size means somewhat limited selectionAnd on a completely irrelevant note that had zero bearing on my review, the employee with the sleeve tattoo and shaved head (Jason? Josh?) is so hot I’m surprised the tanks don’t boil as he walks by.

Mark's Tropical Fish store has higher quality and healthy stock. Exotic salt water fish and popular as well as odd ball fresh water fish. Plants, frozen/live foods, supplies, tanks and friendly knowledgeable staff. So grateful this is my local fish shop!💯

Got this Beta during Covid there and it was the best fish I ever had. Named it Rona! It lived to watch SpongeBob! Lol.

Mark's tropical fish has been around for a long time. Originally in Studio City and now in the NoHo district. Everyone is knowledgeable, and I have never had a bad experience. I would highly recommend this place.

Update. Happy to be setting up a new freshwater tank. Just picked up 3 kinds of angelfish and some cardinal tetras. Everyone is super knowledgeable and helpful. So glad the new location is working out!

Came today and scooped up some cool fish. What I really admired about this place other than the very, very knowledgeable Mark was the fact that it was impeccably clean overall. Everything was taken properly care of as well as they keep the fish for 3 weeks before they sell

Went to Marks for the first time today and dealt with Isaac who instructed me on the best frozen foods talk to me about current status of life foods especially blood worms and their unavailability at the time and looked through their plant selection. Extremely friendly polite and professional 💕A hidden jewel 💎 in the city is this store! A+

Best store for your aquarium needs in SoCal. The owner Mark is friendly and personally gets to know his customers. The worker Steve is also a nice guy. Left the store happy with my purchase. Got Discus from this store, all adjusted well to my city’s water & has no issues feeding on “bug bite” fish pellets alongside blood worms. My favorite part, I never seen such well maintained tanks in a store. This store is run by hobbyists not salesmen. Looking forward to seeing what happens next as the new store grows! The small store with great variety!

This place is VERY friendly, and VERY informative. I prefer independant spots like this over the dime a dozen petco's and petsmarts. Mark and his crew actually care about what they do beyond the business aspect, and it shows.

I LOVE it here! One of the things I most appreciate about this place is that they aren't afraid to say 'no'. Meaning they care about the fish, they aren't just trying to make a sale. This is my go to place for fish, fish food, plants, great fish advice and friendly talk. You will always find a nice assortment of healthy freshwater fish here.

Cute small store. It's kind of tight on size but big on knowledge, and prices fit the area.

I bought my wife a Fish Tank over the summer to become her little hobby, and Mark's has been amazing at teaching her how to best care for it. They've shown her tips and techniques, even without her having to buy some item; When she bought a small tank for her classroom and needed a filter, they literally opened a box, assembled one and showed her how to use it before she committed to buying it!They're great people, friendly atmosphere, and knowledgeable in how to help you get your aquarium up and running!

I love this fish store! Mark is always there with his giant smile and warm heart. His staff is always so knowledgeable and the red head guy with a beard, sorry dont know his name, is amazing. Answered all my rookie questions while treating me with respect and patience. The discus selection is bar none the best breeder I have ever seen and man oh man if I ever get the courage to run my own reef tank the selection of coral is sick!

Came in just to check the place out. Didn't know what to expect. Pretty much, best experience I've ever had at a pet store. I think Josh was his name, helped me out. Gave me a lot of tips on my planted aquarium and I came out with 6 fish and a whole lot of new knowledge on how to prep my planted tank for more delicate fish. He told me what to test in my tank and how to test it. I honestly didn't even know half this stuff. I'll be recommending this place to anyone and everyone who even mentions fish. Best believe I'll be back. I saw a lot of creatures I'd like in my tank. Very happy today and excited to introduce my new fish to their new home. Thanks guys!
