Beautiful fishes, from Bright Aquarium.
Tanith N.

I love this place. This place has many beautiful types of fishes. If you are a fishes lover, you should come here and I guaranty you will keep coming back.

They are scammers. They send dead fish to the customer and refuse to return the advance payment.

got great bettas! Had a lot more healthy and bigger fish than most pet stores. They also had lots of females and koi bettas too.

I bought 10 cherry shrimp today from this new place and was pleased with the selection. They have a nice variety of Neocaridina and Caridina shrimps, the prices are reasonable, and the owner was helpful in explaining the basics for first-time shrimp keepers.

Very happy with the fish from this shop. The shop is clean and the owner is quite friendly and resourceful. Got a beautiful galaxy koi betta and some Xmas moss.

My Betta fish that I got from the store today.

I just came to Bright Aquarium this morning to get my new Betta. Bright Aquarium offers an impressive variety of fish species. The quality of care and health of the fish, as well as the store's overall cleanliness and customer service are really awesome!

Not open during their posted business hours. Hard to find and no one answered the phone when I called

My boyfriend and I are fish hobbyists and we just visited Bright Aquarium during their grand opening! We were so impressed with their selection of guppies and discus! The people who work there were so helpful and even packed our bags with oxygen, which we appreciated having traveled about an hour to get there and wanted to make sure our fish would be comfortable on the drive home. They even shared their donuts with us! Thank you Bright Aquarium!

Update 3/12/2026: I…read morerecently bought a house in San Jose that came with a pond. Unfortunately the previous owner had passed away and left no instructions, so I had absolutely no idea where to start. I've never had a pond before and knew nothing about how to maintain one. I remember having a great experience with Aqua lab back in 2016 so I called them back up and Kent was incredibly helpful from the start. He took the time to walk me through everything and explain how the system works without ever making me feel dumb for asking very basic questions. We decided to do a one-time deep cleaning to restore the pond. Before the scheduled cleaning, Kent stopped by to check out the system and figure out what actually needed to be done. He ended up fixing a broken part, doing a full deep clean of the pond and the filter/skimmer, and adding beneficial water additives. Since I live about 3 hours away, he kept me updated throughout the process with photos and messages, which I really appreciated. He even left me some pond tools to use and offered to come back another time, at no extra charge, when I'm at the house so he can walk me through the system in person and show me how to do the regular monthly maintenance myself (or help with that if I decide I'd rather have him handle it). His pricing was very fair and actually came in lower than other local shops I contacted. Overall just a really great experience. I've attached before and after photos of the pond. Highly recommend Aqua Lab and working with Kent. What a great guy!

Aqua Lab Aquaria is great store that sells brands like ada and other stuff you will not find at…read moreother stores. Prices are on higher end but the price is fair. Planted tanks start up cost can very costly. Rimless tank, aquasoil. Good duel stage co2 regulator, anf There are equipment that they have that isn't found in big chain store. You're paying quality stuff. I been in fish hobby for 10+ years with African Cichlids, Rare Turtles, and koi ponds, but never tried high tech planted aquarium. High tech Aquarium was quite of challenge for me and aqua lab aquaria guided me to finally built my ideal setup. I no longer have room in my aquarium for plants but this is my favorite store for planted stuff. Another bonus is that they are only store to sell co2.

Came on a whim with thoughts of getting a pet fish for future and see what's available....and it…read morebecame reality. *TIP: don't come with kids and husband* Had to get piece by piece to start from ground up, not too bad $100 for two $1 red comet fish & a pleco, food, 3gal tank, rocks, filter, faux coral. We later realized we most likely need a bigger tank as these red comets grow like kois... we had intentions of getting fish that only grows a few inches and without needing a bigger tank. We asked for the easiest fish to raise... but we should have asked easiest fish to raise that stays small! *facepalm* Overall good shopping experience...

Im always in and out of this place looking for stock ok discus, Im pretty sure the guy knows me…read morealready. Ive bought a few in the past which are still healthy and growing. The guy (I dont know if he is the owner) has always been nice even though im only coming in to look for new discus fish, he has never treated me badly for not buying. When he does have discus, its always priced very fair and in good condition, if the fish are sick he will let me know ahead of time and to address the past review about fish being sick is that fish get sick all the time due to the stress environment even if they're not sick at the time of purchase, once you add it to your aquarium can get sick from the environment you put them into so its not always the place you bought it and it's just part of the process. This place has always been upfront and honest about everything and informational when fish starting out with purchasing a type of species of any fish. I've also bought fish here that died under my care but I take 100% responsibility. I will continue to come here and purchase.

Very clean place with knowledgeable and friendly staff…read more They are expanding right now, tons of fish and coral here. This could easily end up being the best coral supply stores in Northern California! I highly recommend a visit!

I am posting this as a cautionary experience…read more I ordered livestock from Violet Aquariums. The order arrived with a fish that was dead on arrival and a coral that arrived in extremely poor condition, with severe tissue recession, exposed skeleton, and a foul odor. Photos were provided immediately upon delivery in accordance with their stated DOA policy. The business refused to refund or replace the coral under any circumstances. For the DOA fish, they offered only store credit, which would have required me to pay approximately $50 in additional shipping to replace a $40 fish unless I placed a much larger new order, with no guarantee that any replacement would arrive viable. What was most concerning was the tone and content of their email responses when I requested a refund or replacement. In writing, they repeatedly characterized a lawful chargeback as "fraud" and made threats of retaliation and blacklisting, including statements such as "you want to commit fraud... chargeback in your case," "yes, we will ban you as fraud," "we will fight the chargeback," "you will run out of suppliers," and "we do not want them as our customers ever." Livestock losses happen. How a business responds matters. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution others before ordering.
