wow! the selection here is incredible! my partner is looking to buy some fish soon and we came by to plan what to get in the future, the staff checked in with us a few times and were very helpful when we did ask for assistance. there is an excellent selection with diverse climates, i was amazed by their frog, toad and koi displays. i loved the biodiversity in their toad displays, they carry the intricacies needed to create and maintain these habitats. we will be back after we finish planning our fish tank habitat :) read more

I've had mixed experiences at CK Fish World. My husband comes in regularly to test his fish tank water, buy water, and occasionally purchase fish. Unfortunately, he's noticed inconsistent customer service. At times, the staff--especially who he believes may be the owner--can come off as rude or dismissive. There have been instances where he felt ignored while waiting for help, which can be frustrating as a returning customer. That said, not everyone there is like that. He mentioned that the woman working there is always kind and respectful, and there's another male employee who is helpful and provides great service when he's around. Because of the inconsistency, it's hard to fully recommend the shop, but when you do get help from the right staff, the experience is much better. Hoping they can improve overall customer service to match the good experiences we've had with certain employees. read more

We first heard of CK Fish World when we attended the reptile & fish expo at the Fairplex last year. Our son loves fish and asked for some new fish and a tank refresh for his birthday, so we went to CK to check it out. I called ahead of time to ask what fish would be best for the tank setup we have already and the staff members were so knowledgeable and patient with our kiddo while he chose the fish he wanted. The store lowkey looks like a mad scientist's lab, but in the best way! The tanks were clean and there were obvious quarantine procedures taking place. They have a beautiful and expansive assortment of freshwater and saltwater fish and other marine animals, tank equipment, and aquarium/tank decor. The staff member checking us out gave us a little discount when he heard the purchases were for our kid's birthday. My son loves his new fish and I'm so glad we decided to go to CK instead of a large pet store corporation! Huge shout out again to the staff! I highly recommend getting your aquatic needs fulfilled at CK Fish World! read more

Best most knowledgeable staff and they can custom cut glass lids for you! Above and beyond always ! Clean healthy fish and tons of decor in every size and huge selection!!!!!!! read more

CK Fish World in Covina is one of the best fish stores I've been to. From the moment I walked in, the staff was really helpful and welcoming, taking the time to answer questions and give solid advice without trying to push unnecessary purchases. The store itself is super clean and very well organized, it honestly reminds me of the high-quality fish stores you see in Asia, where everything is laid out neatly and maintained properly. The fish quality is the best I've seen anywhere around here. All the fish looked healthy, active, and well cared for, which really says a lot. I picked up some beautiful Mayan koi for my pond and also bought fish for my turtles, and everything has been doing great. The selection is excellent, prices are fair, and you can tell they genuinely care about their livestock and customers. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend CK Aquarium to anyone serious about the hobby. read more

Pros and Cons Pros- 1) Large parking lot right in front of the store. 2) Big selection of fish. Cons- 1) It was not busy when I was there but not one said hello or asked me if I needed any help and I was looking around for 10-15 minutes. 2) While they do have a pretty large selection of African Cichlids they are all juveniles and would not survive in a tank with adults. read more

Friendly staff. Big selection of everything. Patient with my 9 year old. Love visiting on weekend. Check out the fishies and how to improve our aquarium read more

Buyer beware!!!! I've been in the hobby over 30 yrs. Over last 2 months their fish have killed my fish with illness! They do not medicate or quarantine all there incoming fish and sell to customers regardless of health issues! Please for your own sanity find a reputable operator that's not just selling fish to sell them. read more

Amazing place! So friendly and attentive. So beautiful inside and have what you need. I recommend this place if your have or looking for fish or your aquarium essentials. read more

Hands down, the best aquarium store I've been to in Los Angeles. There is absolutely no doubt about it. There are other fantastic aquarium shops in the area and I've written reviews for them as well, but this place is on another level. The selection is incredible. A huge variety of fish and plants, and easily the largest freshwater fish selection I've personally seen. Pricing is very fair overall. Some items are on the higher end, but many others are surprisingly affordable, which balances out nicely. They are heavily freshwater focused, which I appreciate, but they also have a solid saltwater selection. On top of that, their dry goods section is massive. Filters, lights, heaters, substrate, tanks, stands, and pretty much everything you could need for a setup. This is a true full-service aquarium store. The store is clean, well stocked, and clearly run by people who genuinely care about the hobby. I honestly wish I lived closer because I would be here weekly. 15 out of 10. Two thumbs up. If you are into aquariums and live anywhere near Los Angeles, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not visiting this store. read more

CK is one of the best fish stores I've been to. I just recently started a new tank and this place has been a great wealth of knowledge. The staff answered all my questions and they know exactly what they're talking about. Love this place. Worth the drive even with these crazy gas prices because CK has the best selection at great prices. read more

CK Fish World is hands-down the best aquarium shop in Southern California. They carry both freshwater and saltwater fish and invertebrates, but what really sets them apart is the range and rarity of what they offer, dart frogs, newts, mini Thai crabs, and more. On top of that, they have hundreds of pounds of driftwood in at least six different types, and more rock varieties than I could count. The place is massive and fully stocked. I've been to nearly every major fish store across Los Angeles and Orange County, Lifeguard Aquatics, Tokyo Aquarium, Nature Aquarium, Age of Aquariums, Tongs Tropical Fish & Pets, Nolan's Aquarium, DD Fish Pets, Cali's Tropical Fish and none of them come close. They either lack inventory, are overpriced, or fall short on quality. CK Fish is the only place that has everything in one stop: huge selection, rare species, top quality, and low prices. If you're serious about the hobby, stop wasting time driving all over the region. This is the shop you've been looking for. read more

Ck Fish World - Hardscape - Local Fish Stores Near Me - West Covina, California

I have always been interested to start an aquascape but soon realized not a lot of aquariums carry a wide variety of nano fish and materials for aquascaping. That's when I found CK Fish World. They have everything! I love it. They have a section of bins organized with different types of stones and driftwood. They even have a box for you to build your concept design with the materials you find! As a person with an architecture and design background, I loved this! It saved me so many trips to the shop trying to figure out how to build a mountain scene in my aquarium. They also have tanks, lights, decorative caves, rocks and sand to build your dream aquarium. On the other side of the shop is where you'll find the living items: plants, fish, shrimps! Coral and saltwater fish. They literally have everything you need, including shrimp food. Plus they also provide free? Water testing with your purchase. Just bring a bottle of your aquarium water and they help test your water to identify heavy metals or other issues and containments. Outside of the shop, parking is very convenient as they are located in the back and basically have the entire parking lot to themselves. So far I have purchased their cherry shrimp and yellow shrimp which seemed to be very healthy as all have been thriving in my aquarium for over a week now. I will definitely be back to get some nano fish in the near future! read more

This place is just bad ass. Their selection of fish, hardware, landscaping, tanks, plants, both fresh and salt water is hands down the best. I wish I found them sooner. Just wanna look at the whole store and you'll know that these guys know what's up. Every time I come, I find myself spending a lot of time just looking at all the aqua scapes. Every time I see a fish online that I wanna get, they have it in stock. All of their staff seems very knowledgeable. I highly recommend everybody at least come here once and check it out. You'll become a regular customer. I honestly wish there was more places like this read more

A+ to ownership for the great selection and the friendliness. read more

This is like a fish hobbyist's Costco for all fish/aquarium needs. There is an outstanding amount of tools, equipment, tanks, solution, etc. to help with fish needs. Their freshwater and saltwater tanks are organized beautifully. For most of their fish, they include cards that assist aquarium owners with the temperament, group dynamics, and level of care for the species of fish. They also have a great selection of plants that look lush and beautiful. All the workers we spoke to seemed very knowledgeable and helpful with helping with the success of setting up our aquarium. They even helped us glue down plants on rocks so they wouldn't float away. The prices on some items here are a bit on the higher side when being compared to other aquarium shops in the area. read more

Great fish store, set up a small 5 gallon aquairium for my son and Peter and staff are great. Huge variety of animals/fishes/products.

Customer service. You don't find that much, where people do more than they have to. Amazing selection. Can't wait to do business with them again. read more

This place is awesome if you're into the fish tank hobby. They've got fresh and saltwater fish and supplies. Their prices seemed pretty reasonable too. I'll definitely be back! read more

Got caught up behind that big accident on the 10 last night, but it was well worth it. Called for some UNS tanks, they had it ready to go and I was able to get it same day. Eddie was amazing helping me out - I will be going back without a doubt! Thank you! read more

I have been the owner of an 80 gallon fish tank salt water. I've used this business to replace items and purchase items..

The perfect store for the aquarium enthusiasts, every thing you need, these guys really know Fish ! Lots of supplies for reptiles too . My favorite fish stop read more

Julius's customer service was unmatched. I have never been helped in such a way. When I walked in, I had a vision but no path, no knowledge of how to get where I wanted to be. It was my first time buying a fish tank, and I was hesitant to spend money without knowing what I needed. I had done some research but was still unsure. When I walked in, it was busy, and I asked Julius for help. I told him I needed someone for about 15 minutes to help me sort things out, considering how busy they were. I gave him an idea of what I was looking for, and he made my vision come to life. He helped me pick out everything I needed and gave me advice on how to maintain my tank. He gave me the pros and cons of things I wanted.Once we had everything gathered, he could tell I was still a little uneasy. He then went above and beyond by offering to help me set up my tank with all the beautiful live plants and decorations. He took the time to set up a beautiful tank that I couldn't imagine achieving myself. If it weren't for his amazing customer service and his passion for what he does, I would have left without spending a penny. But thanks to Julius and his passion, I was blessed with a beautiful tank--a work of art. As I saw him put together my tank bringing my vision to life and more. Will most definitely be going here for all my aquatic needs. Big beautiful wide selection of live stock and everything you could possibly need. A one stop shop by far the best I've been to. Thank you so much again, Julius, for making this the best experience. read more

Helpful employees had everything I needed for a dart frog and fresh water tank love this store highly recommend

I can't say enough good about the people who work at CK Fish World, and the amazing amount of critters, from freshwater and saltwater fish to dart frogs and chameleons, the variety, the cleanliness of the tanks, and the vast selection of supplies. Their selection of hardscape stone and wood is the best I've found in SoCal. The best part, though, are the people there who are always so helpful to this newcomer in the hobby. Eddie always has good advice, and Julian is an amazing aquascaper. I happened to admire a newly scaped huge tank yesterday and asked him about it. It was his work, and he is a professional aquascaper. He helped me put together hardscape for a new tank, and wouldn't take so much as a tip for his time. Thanks guys! read more

Service is absolutely incredible. I decided to get back into the aquarium hobby after a several year hiatus. Planned on starting small with a betta tank and honestly mind blown by how much this store had from the variety of freshwater and saltwater fish, to the selection of coral and plants, down to the hardware available. I didn't catch his name but the worker that helped me was super nice and knowledgeable. He gave me advice on how to cycle my tank quickly and he also helped me set my tank up there and there! Highly recommend :) read more

Great decor and scape section but I wouldn't buy a fish from here the more you look the more you see dead fish and the ones alive have ich , sunken eyes and belly's. Just be aware don't make rookie mistakes read more

I have them at 5 stars 1year ago now it's 1the owner turned cocky we have spent hundreds on our tanks there. He wants you to kiss ass or follow like a puppy the workers there don't help take forever.Had to leave after 45min they changed a lot in such a short time. They need better customer care and owner needs to stop chatting with his personal friends! Last time here save your hard earned money not worth the wait. read more

The workers here are kind. They have a great selection. My son and I got some plants, and some fishes for our tank. Make sure you cycle your tank completely before introducing fish, 3 of our green neons died but the other two are alive and well. read more

Pretty large store with a huge variety of fish and plants for sale! I like that they labeled on the exact spot glass what the plants were with the name and price. They had quite a bit of tank supplies, tanks and stands, and rock decor as well. We called ahead, and they had the exact UNS tank stand we wanted. The price was good, and the staff were all super nice and helpful. read more
