Pet World:Tropical Fish

I moved to the IE from Long Beach last year and I've been disappointed in the options for freshwater fish stores in the area. There's plenty of saltwater only stores but very few that offer a selection of freshwater fish and products. I saw some mixed reviews but I was pleasantly surprised by this store. It was clean, no dead fish, and I got mostly everything I needed. The plant selection was great and I got a good amount of those for my new tanks and some other products I've been needing. The store employees were nice and some were actively doing maintenance which is a good thing to see in a fish store. Also it was fairly busy for a fish store which I don't see often especially on a weekday so that was a good sign. My only critique is some items weren't well labeled on pricing but some of their prices were extremely competitive so it evens out. Overall if you're looking for a good store that carries all the essentials and a few extras this is the one to go to.

One of the only good fish stores in the IE, I’m from Orange County and there’s a lot of genuine fish stores but I’m not there anymore and I’ve had to deal with corporate fish suppliers and online shopping…., not going to lie I missed walking in a authentic fish store. Customer service is good nice people

Honest review, been buying from here since 2020 . The one positive thing that separates them from other lfs is their diverse selection of fresh and saltwater fish but besides that they are no different from any other LFS . They will lie to make a buck , they will trash talk competitors, they sell fish and coral of all conditions ( healthy , sick , dying , etc ) they will sugar coat it or blame your water quality or husbandry even though you see dead fish in their tanks . Quick tip to spot a lie if they say they treat their system in copper or whatever medication walk around and see what's connected to their system. It's a quick Google search to learn copper wrecks havoc on inverts and Coral so apply common sense and you will know . When it comes to trades in they will give you nothing even though competitors will give you store credit or a few inexpensive coral frags . They don't do refunds or exchanges unless you speak with the wife or daughter/neice they might because they understand you want your regulars to stay regulars . I remember when they had zuzu and her bf work there and i overhead them arguing about who was going to break the news to their regular , they were temporarily holding a fish for a regular till they finish moving and setting up their new tank but the owners sold it right away . I have bought fish that lived , died , wiped out my tank in the past but at the end of the day I knew it's out of their control i still continued to shop here . Unfortunately today is the last day I'm shopping there . They sold me epoxy after I griefed about using super glue gel . If you Google or look at reef forums you will found out epoxy is risky to use and if you do use it to run a extra air stone and carbon . I didn't know that and lost my designer clownfish. I contacted them and they apologized but that was it and when I ask what can they do about it they ignored me . Felt like I got screwed over . They could of atleast refunded the epoxy and offered a cheap frag from their 25 dollar section but they make no effort. At least the brand of epoxy made some effort in keeping me as a customer and offered a complimentary mystery box for the situation.

I love this place it’s always a joy to come in and feel welcomed. Great variety of fresh and salt water supplies. Amazing healthy fish, plants and every need or supplies you might need or think of.

I asked for feeders they said they had some Brought my kids in the store my child started cry they said they were out and didn’t have any
