Great place to buy aquatic plants for a reasonable price. I go here every time I do laundry next door and they are always nice and have different plant varieties each time. The galaxy koi bettas are beautiful. Their tanks a lot cheaper then PetSmart for the same exact models.

Was very pleasantly surprised. The name doesn't reflect what is actually inside. Name comes from 1960's. Although they have a very good selection of salt-water fish and supplies, their collection of cichlids and other fresh-water fish is exceptional. Spoke to both Owner & Owner's son and found them very helpful, nice and friendly. I plan to go back many times. Prices were fair and reasonable. I would certainly recommend.

They have really nice fish here as well of tanks and other things for your fishes .

Beautiful, healthy fish! I love the variety of bettas they have. The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially if you’re new to fishkeeping.

The workers were very nice and the fish in stock were absolutely beautiful!

Second time buying fish and they're all healthy and well the staff is lovely and the prices are reasonable I would recommend

I always get my fresh water at this location. The staff is nice and very knowledgeable… Great Service

Best LFS in the area for rare cichlids and high-end aquascaping gear. They carry brands you usually only find online, and their plant selection is always fresh. Prices are fair for the quality you get.

Very knowledgeable. All the staff have their own unique knowledge and make the process of purchasing easier! They have a wide selection of fresh and saltwater, but hurry quick! They sell out fast because of their great stock! They also have a great amount of supplies. Majority of the time when we need something, this is our go to place!

Exceptional service from Jay today. Thanks for taking the time for our millions of newbie questions and setting us up for success! Great selection of fish, decor, and fishkeeping supplies!

I been going there since I was a kid 2004 best fish store in Anaheim well I think it's the only fish store in Anaheim but you must go alot of good fish and prices

Always a good experience. Have a large selection of both fresh and salt water fish! Fair priced as well. Great selection of nano fishes and plants

Francisco Lopez

Staff is great, extremely knowledgeable, always gives me great recommendations on relevant products or fish, not pushy at all, low low pressure and understanding, I try to go at least once a week, new fishes coming in all the time and seasonal things like Amazon puffers as well. Love this please and the people who run it!

This is a very clean and good selection of aquatics. I got vampire shrimps here an bd they carry micro crabs 🦀 to. I recommend be this place if your trying bf to add more to your aquatic tanks.

I brought my wife to this store for some horned narite snails about two months ago. She was very excited about it. She's been ecstatic about putting together a community for her new tank. This place had a nice selection of beautiful looking fish. It looked clean and well organized. The reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 5 is due to the rudeness and lack of respect a certain staff member displayed towards my wife. This female staff member seemed to have become annoyed or irritated that my wife was asking for a specific snail. Isn't that the point? Don't we show up to find the nicest or coolest looking creatures? Still this individual called another member to assist and was overheard by my wife passively commenting, "Good luck with this one," combined with a scoff. Completely unprofessional. My wife hadn't told me about this until long after we left the store because she knew I would've aggressively confronted this person. I don't take disrespect towards my wife lightly. Anyways, if we do come back here again, and I see this individual, they will be hearing from me. I don't forget.

I usually don’t leave negative reviews, but I feel like people deserve to know what they’re getting into. I bought two goldfish from this store, and BOTH were already infested with anchor worms when I got them. I didn’t realize it at first until i got home, because I trusted the store had properly cared for their fish — but after one of them got worse, I did the research and learned this is a common and very preventable parasite. I treated both fish with everything I had — set up a separate tank, gave salt baths, even removed the worms by hand. Sadly, one of my goldfish died because of the stress and infection. I later found out this store has multiple tanks with visible anchor worm infestations, and they’re still selling the fish. This isn’t just frustrating — it’s heartbreaking. I’m not an expert, just someone who wanted to give two little fish a good home. And instead, I ended up grieving one and trying to save the other from something that never should’ve happened. Please, if you’re thinking about getting a goldfish from here, check the fish carefully. And if you’re the store owner: your animals deserve better. And so do your customers.

I had originally given this place a great rating because of their friendly service and good quality of fish. This was a few days after purchasing the fish and was not a long term review. I have bought a total of six angelfish from here. 6. I thought by paying the $7+ price from other fish stores I was getting good quality fish. All are dead except for one. They may have good specialty fish such as your higher ticket cichlids but their more common fish are filled with disease and very weak. Four of the fish got the same red disease to which staff was extremely unhelpful just pointing me to another one of their $10+ price on antibiotics. Loved the fish so I got it. Completely useless. All died the same, but dont worry, they died with antibiotics! For the price they demand their fish should be hearty. I spent a lot of money. One of the fish was a red devil angel which was a pain to get because they only had five to choose from. Im sure they're limited but angelfish are popular. Especially when you are demanding THIRTY DOLLARS for it. Went to Petco and got another angel for five bucks. Survived the "disease" the others faced and didn't even contract it. These fish are likely babied and cannot handle disease. Don't waste your money on their plants either. They dont survive a week if you dont get their overpriced fertilizer. Don't buy merchandise from here either, extremely profit-oriented. Amazon charges in general about $10 less. Honestly, they aren't worth the breeder extra price. Pretty unhelpful advice and usually involves buying something or very general. Im sad my fish died for this disgrace.
