These are the most healthiest fish in Bakersfield! They have such a huge variety. They also have really good options for aquarium plants! I've gotten 7 plants and 13 fish from here and all of them are thriving. The staff is also super chill (including their little greeter). I always feel so welcomed when I walk in :) highly recommend this place read more

Great fish store that takes excellent care of all of the aquatic life. I was especially impressed with the betta fish care. Fish tank supplies such as driftwood, river rocks, spiderwood, etc are sold at an affordable price and there are even some things available for discount. Duckweed is given for free and a 10% discount is offered for your second purchase at the store. Friendly staff, plus there was a cute kitty there. read more

They take great care of the fish and plants at fair prices. Would you rather get a cheap price and a dead plant or fish or pay a fair price for a live one. read more

Very friendly staff. Willing to answer any questions you might have. Great selection for fish

The fish store you need to go to. Worst thing about this place in the location of it. But once you get here...my goodness. The staff are the most chill and knowledgeable people I've had the pleasure of meeting. I was greater soon as I came in and helped 2-3 minutes later. These folks know their fish! They had some in tanks by fish type and some in a community tanks. Tanks were super clean! If you are starting out they have drift wood for your tank and tanks for sale. I made my purchase and was also given a coupon for next time I come back. Love this place!!! read more

I've debated posting this review for a long time. I will say this place does take good care of their animals and they have a wide variety of animals and supplies. However, they are overpriced and more importantly after an interaction I had with the owner's son that made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe, I have chosen to not to return to this store. read more

I absolutely LOVE this store, and particularly the staff. They are always knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Tanks are always clean and the fish and various aquatic animals are healthy and happy. Plants are always healthy and well priced. I can't wait to set up a couple more tanks with my supplies and stock coming solely from them. Thanks guys, this is what a small shop is supposed to be like! Looking forward to many more years of visiting and learning. Michele - the Siamese algae and Molly mom! read more

Absolutely awesome local fish store! They take such good care of their fish and I personally could never give this anything under five stars. read more

very helpful staff and lots of options for every possible need in the aquarium hobby!

Amazing store run by very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful people. I'm re- establishing a tank. Their help has been invaluable. They have a great selection of fish that seem healthy & well cared for. They asked multiple questions about what I wanted the tank to look like. They know which fish can be placed together. They normally get fish in from the supplier on Friday's & post the unboxing & stocking procedure on instagram. I haven't watched it yet though. I was told that the supplier quarantines the fish they order before they are shipped. They are located on Roberts Lane, which is a bit of a drive from Southwest Bakersfield, however the drive is well worth it. I can highly recommend this store. read more

staff is so knowledgeable and friendly.. I trust the fish i'm buying won't come home sick and die a week later or worse infect my tank .. they have big selection of fresh water fish easy to spend some time looking at all the fish read more

Super over priced if you want thes in town deals go to fish and tanks on Roberts lane and best out of town prices are whitees pets in Fresno both stores bear any other with healthy fish and prices read more

This place is great! Please support them so they don't disappear. The quality and selection of fish is above and beyond every other fish store. read more

You want Nano fish, he has them. Live aquatic plants, plants you can see and touch, yeah Jeff has them. This new fish store that specializes in nano fish and aquatic plants is a god send to those hobbyists interested in them. It is small store but very organized, each tank is lighted, clean and most important, it does NOT have the typical fish odor that permeates the premise. I saw rimless tanks, dragon stone and other hardscape materials like driftwood, aqua soil, aquascaping tools. It was fun for me to peruse through what this store has to sell. This store is small, I am guessing 15' x 15'. In spite of being small, the space is maximized. There are already plans of expanding next door even though it has only been a few months since the store opened. I think this store will draw aquascapers from Fresno and not to have to drive down to LA to get their fix! read more

What a great aquatics store tucked away in oildale, Jeff and his staff are knowledgeable on just about anything having to do with aquarium, I got my first aquarium plants from them, a few cichlids, and they always have everything I need to take care of my fish. Great place to just stop and look. read more

This place is really a diamond in the rough. 10/10 recommend! You would never suspect to find such an awesome place here in Bakersfield! We have bought 3 new additions to our family here in the past week and also got them everything they need. We first went in there and saw a black roughneck monitor. We had this guy on our minds for a month before we decided to commit. When we finally decided to make it happen, the owner was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He pulled our new monitor out and let us hold him. He gave us tips and recommendations. We were so satisfied with this purchase that we decided to go back for more accessories and a black and white baby kingsnake caught our eye. This time we shared the experience with an employee named Cody. Cody not only was knowledgeable about the snake that we wanted to purchase but also provided us with additional knowledge about our monitor that we bought just a few days prior. We decided to go back and get the kingsnake for our daughters birthday. Again we had the pleasure of working with Cody who gave our daughter a little kingsnake 101 to get her started. Finally (and definitely will not be our last stop here) my little sister had seen a tarantula while we were buying the kingsnake which we decided to take a day to think on. Today we decided to go down and ask some questions as we have never cared for a tarantula. We were able to ask the owner for assistance this time. He gave us some info on the spiders he had and one in particular he gave us a little history on her in particular. She is a pink toe and she is so cute. He pulled her out of her little container and sold us on her. She has a calm temperament and little pink toes. He showed us the enclosure that would work best for her. He then offered to set it up for us. He really took the time to make her enclosure not only beneficial for her but also visually appealing. We will absolutely be sending business his way! We will also continue to stop in periodically for all of our reptile and spider needs! read more

If you want quality, cleanliness and great customer service, this is the spot. This place transports you back to the way pet stores used to feel as a kid, magical. The location of the store isn't the greatest, but worth the trip. He keeps up his spot and is the diamond in the rough! We will definitely be repeat customers! :-) read more

We will never go to a big box store for our fish needs ever again! This place was clean, and all the fish looked very healthy and well taken care of. We picked out some cool fancy guppies for our tank plus a live plant/planter. Nice staff, very helpful and patient in picking out guppies for a 5 year old! read more

Now offering reptiles and other non creepy crawlies. A one stop shop for your aquarium, terrarium, and small critter needs. Lots of frogs and geckos. read more

Had a great experience with Jeff at this new tropical fish store in Bakersfield. The store was full of healthy small to medium freshwater fish and Jeff was full of good information. We have two large aquariums with small to medium fish. He had most of them in stock but said he can easily order the other fish that we were looking for and he can get them in less than one week. My husband and I were both very impressed and will be back often. We used to have to drive to Southern California to get the fish for aquarium but no longer. read more

I was struggling to find a fish store with very high quality products and plants for my nano tanks after moving. THIS is the place to go if you're into everything there is to do with planted tanks and aquascaping. High quality shrimp, fish, plants, tissue cultures, supplies and tanks, great variety as well. If you are looking to setup a nicely planted freshwater aquarium look no further. He carries a very wide variety of UNS tanks and products and can get almost anything you'd need quickly. I strive to make my tanks as natural as possible for my fish and shrimp. If you care about fish husbandry and nerd out about everything from tanks, hardware, aquascape, equipment, Jeff is your guy to talk to. He is extremely knowledgeable and a very cool guy. Great prices for the quality of products as well. read more

Jeff, the owner, is HANDS DOWN the coolest and wholesome dude I've met. I'm new to the hobby and Jeff has spent more than enough time explaining what I need & even goin beyond and giving me something for free! Who does that these days?! I used to think Petco or PetSmart was the way to go for all things pets but Jeff s on those big stores so bad. I'll forever go to this lil hole in the wall store & can't wait to his business expand. He deserves all the good things headed his way. Much love Jeff! - Terry , the Mantis Shrimp guy read more

Aqua Nature Aquarium shop is beautiful! They really know their stuff there. Everything is high quality and the staff is highly knowledgeable. The owner is amazing to talk to about a variety of topics and is more than willing to help the novice to the extremely experienced hobbyist. This is by far the best store in Kern County and when I visited, there were people who had come from Fresno as well as LA because they can get the nicest selection and quality supplies, along with great advice AND a friendly staff. What more could you want? They have new inventory constantly coming in. Specialty order? Ask for Jeff. He goes above and beyond for his customers. read more

Jeff is great and it's an awesome store here in bakersfield. Probably the best one tbh. He has an amazing plant selection and usually has rarer fish/cooler or healthier than the other fish stores in town. Can't recommend enough. Please swing by and support. I try and drop in as often as possible. read more
