    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!

    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.

    After seeing how they have transformed their Lakewood location since taking over, i had to come by and see their main location. As soon as i walked in the door i had a huge smile on my face. The largest selection of tanks and dry goods i have ever seen, clean tanks full of healthy fish, and tons of staff that are happy to help. I was even inspired by their scape location to use a old tank that i just replaced for a new freshwater setup. (i just biught a tank and stand from their other location that replaced this one. Any excuse i have to make the 40 minute drive will be taken advantage of.

    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.

My first recent try was to go the traditional route - heater, filter, bottles of water conditioner & beneficial bacteria, etc. etc. - when I unexpectedly happened upon an eye-opening You-Tube vid about the Walstad method (less homework & a more natural environment, the way God intended). So I returned all that other gear & am starting from scratch. Fernando eased My initial anxiety arriving as a total tank newbie, and gave Me a tour of the various low-maintenance plants I could start My nitrogen cycling with. Nolan - the Captain of this aquarium supplies ship - answered every one of My questions with patience & grace, did not talk down to Me or make Me feel stupid, and I left feeling happily hopeful that I might actually be successful in creating a fish-friendly safe & healthy environment. I am already envisioning My future fishy tenants, plus a snail & a sucker fish or two. Wish Me luck!! :-)

I had went in when they first opened shop and it had only saltwater on the left, now they have expanded the right side of the store to freshwater and I am pretty excited about that. As someone who only works with freshwater, it's really exciting to have a local store instead of supporting big chains like petco and petsmart. I'm really looking forward to the day I get to stop by and choose my betta for my new set up! I also wanted to include that they have a few nano tank setups on display with some cute shrimp and some guppies! They have just about the same inventory as a chain store that you would buy from, if anything, more than that! The bettas were listed as $20 but I'm not sure if that applies to all of them on display. I was a bit sad when I saw them because their tails weren't in the best condition however, this might just be the way they were shipped. Whatever it is, it can be fixed with a bit of love and care!

They also clearly know what they're doing. The staff is knowledgeable and can answer questions without giving you that blank stare you sometimes get at other aquarium shops. But the pricing is honestly kind of shocking. A lot of their equipment is outrageously overpriced compared to what you can find online or even at other local stores. For example, I saw a UNS double valve connector selling for about $60 when the same thing is easily available online for around $20. They also had the Kessil 35° reflector priced at $50, and I've never seen those go for more than $30 or $35 anywhere else. I get that local fish stores have overhead and can't always compete with online pricing, and I'm totally fine paying a little more to support a brick and mortar shop. But some of these markups feel excessive. If you need something immediately and don't mind paying a premium, it's a solid store with good selection and knowledgeable staff. Just be prepared for some pretty steep prices on certain items. Overall I'd say it's worth visiting, but definitely price check before buying equipment.

I had been coming to this spot for years with my roommate to get some specialty food for our cats. The customer service was great, we often got their boba, and came by often. During one of these visits we spotted a cat that looked super cute and we were interested in him immedietly. However, he appeared sick, something that can happen with kittens in shelter/cat cafe spaces, but we went back a few times and he always seemed sick and still remained within the population of the other cats. Eventually we asked if they had his medical records-something...most cat adoption spaces would have-and they did not have them on hand, but recomended coming to an adoption event they were hosting to talk with the woman who ran the rescue they were from. We ended up doing this, this woman-who was actively giving shots to cats while doing this event-had no medical records on her but assured that he was perfectly healthy if just having a small cold. We were still hesitant as we have a cat that with high medical needs that are both a deal to deal with as well as expensive. However the day after the event they called us and asked if we still wanted him because he was there. We ended up getting him. However, when we were handed all of his medical information there was basically Nothing in it. Besides saying he was fixed and he had some shots. Some, not all that a 6 month old cat should have at that point, especially when around varying ages of other cats coming and going as often as they were. Despite appearing plainly sick, there was no sign in these medical records for intervention. Thus began 6 months of near constant vet visits. Congestion. Collapsed lungs from how hard he sneezed and coughed. He was the sweetest cuddliest kindest cat i've ever known, but he was sick near constantly. It took months, but eventually a vet discovered he had calicivirus, a virus that causes upper respiratory infections that typically can be treated or prevented with proper care as a kitten. This however was only part of the problem. 6 months into having him he suddenly grew very very ill almost overnight, and upon taking him to the ER it was discovered he had feline leukemia as well, something that they said he must have also always had, also, again, as a kitten. Something that can be helped with correct care, but is also incredibly viral, especially amidst so many other cats. We had had all his missing vaccines adminstered right after adopting him that ultimately would've had most likely prevented a lot of the issues he ended up having, or certainly extending his life past the 1 simple year that he was granted. But by the time we'd adopted him and he'd gotten all these shots it was far too late. We had to unfortunately put him to sleep within a few days of getting this diagnosis. He was a great cat, but ultimately a sick cat, and the lack of care and transparency that seems to occur here I believe ultimately led to his death. Two weeks before his death, and we decided to stop coming here for good, I had even seen a cat with a hurt paw limping around, within my two week visit that cat remained injured and again with the general public to be allowed to tussle and play while assumedly with some kind of injury. I don't want to say they aren't taking care of these animals correctly because I don't know. This might've been a mistake. Simple negligence, assuming it was nothing major when it was. But they are allowing these animals around each other, and then letting people adopt sick animals that can not only be costly, but ultimately traumatizing to have to watch one basically die in front of you because of things they should've done if they were a proper adoption agency. Perhaps it was dumb to adopt a cat that was quite obviously sick, but at the same time I trusted to establishment I had been going to for a long while to be telling me the truth that he not as bad as he ended up being, and ultimately that trust was not worth much of anything in the end. If you want their boba, their pet food, that is fine if you must have it, however, I ask if you do spot a cat you want please pressure them for information and if you see something wrong don't let them tell you that cat is just fine.
