    Came in to look for a nice LIVE plant for my "Benihana" new halfmoon betta FISH... SET UP: There was so many nice set ups that look so peaceful and calm. The rili shrimps were so fun to watch! I'm inspired to have a rili SHRIMP SET UP now. SERVICE: EXCELLENT! They were so informative and helpful. I got a really nice plant for BENIHANA and he's super happy now. I need to upload a photo of the plant I got soon... ROCK ON PET ZONE TROPICAL FISH!!!!!

    Found in a shared parking lot so it is kind of busy. I liked how their tanks were all really clean so fish looked healthy. Prices were expensive. I didn't like how there were signs saying we couldn't pick our own fish. Customers are buying and should be allowed their choice. As for me I chose not to get anything here.

    Great spot

    This place is the best! The gentleman who helped us was so nice and attentive and knowledgeable!!!

    My betta fish from Pet Zone!

    I recently just got a Betta at Pet Zone and I think this store is amazing They have really cool aqua scapes, and their tanks are stocked with diverse fish. Not only fish, but lots of plants to choose from, for customers that want to add more livelihood in their tanks. This is absolutely a great place to buy or, just look at fish! (Here's the picture of the betta in a 5 gallon)

    Awesome aquascaping

    We had bought our flowerhorn from here a few years ago and had him shipped to AZ. When we were in SD last time we decided to check the store out in person. The spot is clean and the fish were super healthy. They have some really neat aquascaping setups as well! Overall, a nice little shop!

    The yellow are the new plants I just bought over the weekend and the green in the middle are my older plants!

    This is a review based on months since starting my fish tank but the main reason for 3 stars is I bought 2 bundles of Vallisneria plants over the weekend and they are so yellow!! I previously bought some from another store and the quality difference is drastic. I also bought a few pygmy corydoras a few months ago and within 3 weeks they all had ich and I lost 2 after treating. My danios are thriving which is nice and the workers are also super nice. Im just super sad the plants I just bought aren't in the best shape.

    If you love your aquarium or the idea of having an aquarium but you think you don't have time or travel once in a while and are afraid your fish could die while you're gone then keep reading! These photos were taken after I'd been gone for 5 weeks! My 2 weeks of vacation turned into 5 unexpectedly. Did I panic because I thought it'd be the end of my beautiful aquarium? Not even for a second. All I had to set up before I left was a auto-feeder. Thanks to Jeff at Pet Zone Tropical Fish who patiently helped me with setting up my self sustaining tank, the only other thing I had to do when I learned I'll be gone for longer than two weeks, was to call a friend to go over and top off the water that had evaporated while I was gone. That's it!! No cleaning, no vacuuming, no adding chemicals and testing the water constantly! Just an auto-feeder and more water. Do not doubt them when they tell you it'll be easy! Trust me. It's worth it. And the shrimp tank!? Omg! So many shrimp. I started with 5. 5!!

    "Franklin" looking cute.

    I love this store and bought the most beautiful dwarf gourami we named "Franklin." He's super playful and intelligent. Thank you for 5 Star customer service and taking the time to help me.

    My 2 kids and their new fish!

    Great selection of fish. But most of all excellent patient customer service. Mason helped us and he was so knowledgeable with all of our questions. Our 3 children wanted their first fish and Mason helped us out so much. He got us 4 fish and recommended food and plants for our tank at home. We will definitely come back for any further needs!

The pricing here is very competitive, featuring excellent bulk discounts that are especially economical if you are stocking schooling fish. As a best practice, always quarantine any new additions before introducing them to your established community tanks. Transporting livestock introduces significant stress to their immune systems, and retail holding tanks are inherently high-density environments, so a quarantine protocol is a must rather than a reflection on the shop. Additionally, this is a fantastic source for high-quality dry and frozen fish food. Highly recommended.

It's clear they genuinely care about the hobby and about helping customers succeed with their aquariums. Whether you're new to aquariums or have been in the hobby for years, this place is definitely worth visiting. I've checked out at least 20 different aquatic stores and this ranks as #1. Definitely be coming back the next time I'm in San Diego!

    Avoid this place. I…read morespent thousands of dollars with SD Aqua and regret ever doing business with them. It started when I purchased premium-priced live rock from SD Aqua. Within days of adding it to my tank, the entire system began crashing. The rock appeared to be in terrible condition, my sand bed turned black, and the tank was effectively ruined. As someone relatively new to the hobby, I relied on SD Aqua's expertise and guidance. Instead, I was left dealing with a disaster. To address the problem, SD Aqua referred me to a person named Andrew to help fix the tank. Unfortunately, the situation only got worse. The work performed created additional plumbing problems that later had to be corrected. We relied on the recommendations of people who presented themselves as experts, and that trust turned out to be a costly mistake. While the tank was being repaired, we entrusted our fish to SD Aqua for temporary holding. Several fish died while in their care. The remaining fish were returned in poor condition and soon showed signs of disease. Over the following weeks, we watched fish die one after another despite significant effort and expense trying to save them. Anyone who keeps saltwater fish understands how devastating it is to watch animals slowly decline and die after investing so much time, money, and care into them. What makes the entire experience even more frustrating is the complete lack of accountability. We were left with a destroyed tank, dead fish, damaged plumbing, and thousands of dollars in losses. One additional concern was the business practices we encountered afterward. When I later tried to obtain copies of receipts for purchases and services, SD Aqua was unable to provide complete records. Many of our transactions had been made through Zelle because we were repeatedly told the credit card system was unavailable. As a customer who spent a substantial amount of money with the business, I found it troubling that obtaining basic documentation of purchases was so difficult. At a minimum, it reflected a level of disorganization and poor recordkeeping that was consistent with the rest of our experience. The owner, Diego, was ultimately responsible for our account, and Andrew was the individual recommended to work on our system. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone--especially those new to the hobby--against relying on this store for fish, water, rock, advice, tank services, or system design. There are too many reputable aquarium stores in Southern California to risk going through what we did. My experience with SD Aqua was expensive, frustrating, and ultimately devastating to the aquarium we worked so hard to build.

We road-tripped to San Diego to pick up our auction winnings and ended up hanging around so long I'm pretty sure John started wondering whether we were planning to move in. The entire crew was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient, even while I repeatedly attempted to negotiate my way into owning several shrooms that were very clearly outside my budget. To their credit, they politely declined my brilliant proposals involving discounts, sympathy, and what I considered highly persuasive arguments. The coral selection is absolutely insane. Every time you think you've found your favorite piece, another one appears that you suddenly "can't live without." The auctions are an absolute blast and have become one of the highlights of the hobby. Great people, great deals, friendly competition, and enough excitement to keep everyone glued to the chat. Honestly, they're more fun than a frat party, and judging by the number of times "explain that one to your wife" comes up in the auction chat, I'm clearly not the only one making questionable financial decisions in pursuit of beautiful corals. Most importantly, the corals are stunning, healthy, and exactly as advertised. It's obvious these guys genuinely care about quality and about the reefing community they've built around their auctions. If you're looking for amazing corals and an equally amazing group of people, Kungfu Corals is absolutely worth checking out. Just don't blame me when you find yourself trying to justify another mushroom coral purchase to your family after swearing the last one was your final coral of the year.
