Title: Beautiful Discus; Select with Caution I purchased three discus and a pleco on 11/13. Two discus and the pleco are vibrant and healthy, but the albino (red eye) yellow discus unexpectedly passed away after just two days. Its prior hiding behavior in the store tank should have raised suspicions of possible underlying health issues, but I dismissed this as normal shyness. In retrospect, I should have been more selective, as I observed a discus sharing the same store tank with a white film on the eye, hinting at a possible bacterial infection, and another displayed abnormal swimming (trouble swimming horizontally). Losing a fish so soon is disheartening, and the lack of a live fish warranty gives me mixed feelings about my experience. While the store person was friendly and helpful during selection, I recommend caution and thorough inspection of fish behavior before purchasing. My aquarium journey with this store has been a mix of positives and negatives, emphasizing the need for vigilance in selecting healthy fish. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting SF Aquatic last week and was truly blown away by the experience! The store is an aquatic haven, beautifully laid out with an array of vibrant and healthy aquatic life. What stood out to me the most was the exceptional service I received. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely kind and eager to help. Their passion for aquatic life is evident in every corner of the store. Every display was meticulously cared for, and the overall ambiance of the store made my visit both relaxing and educational. It's clear that SF Aquatic takes great pride in offering top-notch services and products for both beginners and seasoned aquarium enthusiasts. If you're an aquarium lover or even just curious about diving into the world of aquatic pets, I cannot recommend SF Aquatic enough. A fantastic local fish store that deserves all the accolades and more! Definitely on my list of must-visit places for any aquarium needs. Highly recommended! read more

So, on a whim, my gf and I decided to jump into this whole freshwater tank world. Honestly, we had no clue where to begin. Enter SF Aquatic. From the get-go, it felt like we'd struck gold. We visited a few times, and each trip was a blast. Everyone there isn't just knowledgeable; they're downright passionate and super approachable. Ended up grabbing all our gear from them, and man, the quality is top-notch. Plus, those Guppies and the Discuss and Red Tail fish we got? Absolutely stunning and lively. Their vibe is just unbeatable, making fish shopping way more fun than we ever imagined. The atmosphere, the advice, the variety--it's all 10/10. Big love and shoutout to the SF Aquatic crew. We're hooked (pun intended) and won't be going anywhere else for our underwater adventures. read more

I don't often give reviews, but this store is one that I cannot ignore when it comes to providing feedback. If I could, I would give it 6 stars. The quality of the Red Fancy Tiger, Taiwan Bee, CRS SS+, Red Pinto, and many more is superb and they are all healthy - see pictures included. The owner, Luan, has a wealth of knowledge about his products and is always ready to provide guidance on setting up your tank with the right parameters, from A to Z. The friendliness of the staff and the reasonable pricing are also commendable. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to start a new hobby. It is truly a treasure trove, and I will definitely come back for more treasures. read more

I came across this aquarium shop by chance.. searching for some cheap fish tanks for a new project on FB marketplace.. saw their ad and they were local! I'm so glad I visited because now I have a new place to visit every weekend for my fishkeeping hobby! Luke and V? I think their names were.. but either way they were absolutely friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about this world. I bought a few danios, Cory's, fire red shrimps! And a guppy. They all looked active and healthy. I'll definitely be back. read more

They had a special on 20 Blue Rili Shrimp and I could not resist ordering two orders. Unfortunately one of the packages arrived with only a couple alive (We live in Colorado and had a 90F+ heat wave for a week including the day of arrival). I reached out with the required photos and sent them an email. Luan responded the same day and had a new shipment on the way, which arrived with only one DOA. Could not be happier with the colors and quality of these shrimp! read more

This place is super friendly and helpful. They have a unique look for a fish pet store. And my kids could see most of the tanks at there height (they are 3 and 5 years old). They loved to see all the colors in the tanks. With a large variety of choices from live plants to guppies and goldfish. The staff helped us pick the right one for us that would live pass a week, also help us find plants for our next vist. It was a fun experience for all of us. read more
