Nice to have a saltwater fish store in town. They sell out fast every week but always get new stuff in each week. Corals and Fish look healthy and they have a large selection of dry good. They also have fresh water fish. As with every fish store, wish they had more corals and I could get there before others buy it all :) Someone Needs to start a Reef club in town and a local Fag swap read more

We bought 3 beautiful healthy angels to start up our tank. We went in a couple of times before we purchased. The man in the store was very knowledgeable and tested our water for us every time we came in. You can really tell that he cares and is passionate about the health and quality of the fish that he sells and any other fish that you may already have. He asked a lot of details and answered a lot of questions. He gave us suggestions on ways to keep our fish healthy and thriving and also advised us on which fish would get along. This is definitely the go to fish store. Service was above and beyond. We are beyond excited to start our aquarium journey here. read more

I come here for almost all my aquatic needs. The owners there are extremely friendly and very helpful. If there's something in particular you need. They have no problem ordering items for you. Even if it's something they usually don't have. Their selection of fish and corals are great. They do their best to make they have a good selection and stock ready. They have great frozen food choices as well as many different supplements. Many different test kits and they also do testing for free as long as you bring your sample of course. I enjoy my time every time I go! read more

This place was great! I was in town visiting CSUB for my daughter so while in town my son and I went to this little local fish store (LFS) since I was in town (fish geeky I know).... the selection of fish were pretty slim but they said they were running low this time because they had sold a lot, no biggie, heard that before too. The coral looked AWESOME, frags and great starter pieces were healthy looking and happy too. I didn't like that (unlike most LFS) there were no prices written on the glass for the frags, I had to ask. The fish were priced on the glass though, which made browsing within my budget more realistic. The guys were very helpful and way nice about answering questions. I ended up buying about 11 lbs of live rock, since I was going to be chancing it going over the Grapevine in the winter I didn't want to purchase fish without being sure the 'vine' would be open. The guy wrapped the rocks in newspaper, wetted them and put them in Styrofoam for the long ride home - we did made it the 3 hour drive over the Vine and the rocks look great in my tanks! The live rock here is wicked inexpensive and the service they provided will keep me stopping here when I'm in town - it's always nice to support the LFS instead of the big chains where they really don't care about their fish or their customers since they filter in and out all day. The next time I'm in town I hope to remember to bring my transport buckets or I'll be making a trip to Home Depot for the rock ride home! Thanks guys, great store, great service and glad to have helped support the local fish store! p.s. it's almost on the corner of North Chester and China Grade Loop, almost missed it! read more

I cannot praise enough the personal and passionate service and quality of "products" at Bakersfield Aquatic Pets. This family--owned business should be on the list of "places to go when in Bakersfield". The selection of fresh and saltwater fish, corals, plants, crustaceans and rock is enough to entertain the whole family if you take your time to wander through. If you are serious about owning fish tanks/aquariums, the knowledge, care and personal service is second-to-none. We would not be having such success with our tanks without Steve, Melissa and Larry's guidance. read more

Updated review: The only place I'll ever get my fish from. Melissa and Steve are always so helpful and patient. I love the hobby and every time I go to Bakersfield Aquatic pets it's like heaven-all the beautiful tanks filled with fish. I wish I could take them all home and be their fish mama... read more

Nice owners and great customer service. They have a decent selection and the fish I've received from here have all been alive for at least a few months. I've bought some plants here as well. It can be hit or miss but when you find some good plants, they grow up to be very healthy in my tanks. The owners quarantine their sick fish and won't sell them. You know that you're getting healthier fish. They have good prices on the more uncommon betta fish varieties. Bought a show quality crowntail dragon scale betta for $11.99! read more

I'm quite fond of this store. I went in with minimal knowledge and left more prepared to care for my fish. The staff knew all the answers to my questions, including fish compatibility and light levels needed for aquatic plants. The thing that set them most apart for me was that they were even able to provide me with squeezing to boost the initial cycling of my tank. I will frequent this establishment before any other aquatic pet store here in Bakersfield. read more

Best place in town. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I had a disease in my saltwater aqaurium and no idea how to tackle it. They explained my options and helped me get set up.

Store is small, but has a very good selection of saltwater fish and corals, staff very helpful,and very kid friendly tnk u for all ur help, made my first visit an absolute pleasure read more

My wife and I stopped by the store today for the first time. Aquatic Pets had a great selection of both saltwater and freshwater fish. Their prices were competitive with other stores I have been to, but their selection was much better! When we arrived one of the owners was feeding the fish, she was using a concoction of her own creation, and individually feeding each tank, her careful attention to her fish showed in the quality and health of the animals. The employees I spoke to were very knowledgeable and helpful. We have a small nano tank that was having an issue with bubble algae, I described the current residents of the tank, and they were able to recommend some additional creatures to help eliminate the algae, thanks! This will definitely be our go-to store for all our saltwater and freshwater needs! read more
