    This gentleman is a wonder resource if you have an aquarium or are starting one. Awesome resource he is knowledgeable and helpful. Saltwater and freshwater. Helped me so much.

    I been coming here ever since I moved out here 4years ago and this is 1 of the best place to get fish the owner is very helpful and answers all my fish questions and the prices a very reasonable

    update, can't recommend highly enough, he cares so much about his fish, and mine. So grateful for his help as a beginning aquarium owner.

    He sold me sick fish little did I know when I get home my fish died and my other two maroon clown and pajama cardinal covered with ich (white spot disease) watch out what your looking for. I give it 3-5 just for being nice.

    John set us up with water testing (our tank was poorly balanced) and even gave us cycled tank water before adding in our fish.

    John is incredibly kind and loves helping out new fish enthusiasts. We started with a betta 3 years ago and now have a 5 gallon set up with a variety of freshwater fish. We had a loss when perfa water change and John helped us test and balance our water before putting in replacements. He's been in business 30 years and always a pleasure to chat with.

    Kuhli loach! One of many

    This place is my go to! There are a lot of varieties of fish that are pretty to look at and healthy. I bought kuhli loaches and cardinal tetras here a few months back and they're all still doing really well, no problems. The prices are also fair for the types of fish here.

    SUPER SAD AND CRUEL This is really disturbing I have a video of mice eating other mice. I don't know if there sick but this is really cruel there are also other dead mice in that case.We did advise the person working and they just grinned so CRUEL.

    This afternoon I spent $5.50 to buy small (50ct) mealworms. Got home and discovered about half are dead and the other half are barely moving. I can tell they've long been dead too, by how dark they are. Other shops in Upland sell for half the price and last weeks. This shop didn't have dates marked on the container. Total waste of my money. Recommend you buy your mealworms elsewhere.

    My clown loach. He's very healthy

    See all

    This place is 90 percent fish, the prices on life stock are good, and everything usually appears healthy.

    Yes it is a family owned, small business, mom & pop shop, who, based on other reviews, also own a…read morefarm? I can't imagine how busy they must be, so I can excuse the some dust here and there. Surprisingly though, with the amount of animals that they have there, especially BIRDS, it did NOT smell, so big kudos for that. Yes, they have reptiles here, lots of beardies, crested geckos of all sizes, morphs, with and without tails, a frilled lizard, rock iguanas, various snakes, and honestly THE MOST chameleons, especially large ones that I HAVE EVER SEEN even at a reptile shop, so if you're looking for chameleons this might actually be the place. There's a lot of cohabitation going on, but honestly, aside from the East Bay Vivarium, due to lack of space and funding, this is an unfortunate aspect that can't be avoided... They also have lots of birds including parrots of all sizes, cockatiels, finches, and even a chicken. They're kept in a very tall, big display coop which is pretty cool. There aren't really any bird shops in the area (the most exotic you'll get are aquarium shops and SOME reptile ones), so if you have feathered friends, this is the place to go. I LOVE that they have prepackaged feed specifically for different species. Made by the business owners for sure and they also have a good amount of feeders too. For mammals they have some hamsters, bunnies, and guinea pigs. For inverts, they have tarantulas and scorpions. There's a good variety of pet supplies here too (some dog and cat items too) that I don't see at other places, so that's neat too.

    Was not open at 11 on Saturday stopped by at 11:30 and nothing. I have been here once and they seem…read moreto have good selection but not open when they say they are.

    Intro/Prices: First off. I have been coming here since 1999. 20 years! Let me tell you, no one…read morehas better prices on fish than Hope(owner). Not even close. Small/Medium sized Cichlids-$5.99. Global Aquatics charges $14.99. Petsmart/Petco - $12.99 and up for small Cichlids. Walmart charges $8.00 and up for super small Cichlids(it's a gamble with Walmart fishes the are often sick). Fontana Tropical Pets charges $29.99. No BS! It's a fact that this is the cheapest place! Customer Service: Hope and his Friend Al are great guys. They are always helpful, Always smiling, Always have time to give advice and ideas. I have never felt rushed or bothered in anyway. They greet my 6 year old and give him love and attention. Hope helps teach my Son a bit of Mandarin every time we come in. Al plays great music and also has plenty of fish wisdom. I refuse to go anywhere else. Fish: I recently bought about 17 fish (Cichlids/Plecostmus/Silver Dollars) for my 45 Gallon Upright Octagon tank. I also bought about 25 assorted community fish for my Son's 45 Gallon Standard tank. No fish died. I'll say that again, No fish died! When I was younger and frequenting this location my fish did not die either. Hope knows his stuff. I read other reviews stating that there are tons of dead fish. This is not true. They have to be bad customers. Every single fish place will have a few dead fish here and there. There is no getting around that. That is part of the business. Fish get stressed and often sick being transported from here to there. Hope sells healthy fish. Period! Cleanliness: Is this place filthy? No. Is it immaculate? No. Remember, this place has been here for over 20 years. The building is old. He has accumulated a lot of stuff. Two Males run this place and they get super busy helping people and taking care of stock. The cleanliness is more than OK and that is all that matters. Come to the best Fish Store around!

    Do not by fish here! This is my second attempt at buying pond as well as indoor tank fish and they…read moreall die. He is a very nice but the shop is poor quality and riddle with parasites.
