    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.

    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.

    I have always been interested to start an aquascape but soon realized not a lot of aquariums carry a wide variety of nano fish and materials for aquascaping. That's when I found CK Fish World. They have everything! I love it. They have a section of bins organized with different types of stones and driftwood. They even have a box for you to build your concept design with the materials you find! As a person with an architecture and design background, I loved this! It saved me so many trips to the shop trying to figure out how to build a mountain scene in my aquarium. They also have tanks, lights, decorative caves, rocks and sand to build your dream aquarium. On the other side of the shop is where you'll find the living items: plants, fish, shrimps! Coral and saltwater fish. They literally have everything you need, including shrimp food. Plus they also provide free? Water testing with your purchase. Just bring a bottle of your aquarium water and they help test your water to identify heavy metals or other issues and containments. Outside of the shop, parking is very convenient as they are located in the back and basically have the entire parking lot to themselves. So far I have purchased their cherry shrimp and yellow shrimp which seemed to be very healthy as all have been thriving in my aquarium for over a week now. I will definitely be back to get some nano fish in the near future!

    Dropped by to see fish but checked out some frogs. Always thought they were just emersed plants lol. So tempting to get some but I don't have space for another pet. They look beautiful though! Also saw some nice crabs. Ended up picking up some silver tetra fish. Thank you!

    I was shortchanged…read more I spoke with nolan that I would like to order 6 cory habrosas for pick up the next day (today) and 5 CPDs. He says he will send me the invoice to pay over the internet. I told him i would pick up from San Diego (more than 100 miles of driving each way!!!) I did not pay yet and asked to change my CPDs to 3 otos. I told him i would like 6 habrosas, at least. When i drove up to santa ana (the next day), with an invoice of 6 habrosas there were only 4 in stock. I understand that Corys prefer larger groups. Had it been disclosed ahead of time that there were only 4 corys, i would not have driven up from SD to Santa ana and the INVOICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED BY THE SELLER If there is not enough stock. There were not even enough otos as i requested. -This wastes my 3 hours of round trip driving (100+ miles) and gas to be short changed. ----------------- -i will have to report this to the BBB as well. -after speaking directly with Nolan, i will wait for his business to rectify this situation before i take additional actions. --------------- Edit on 12/2 after seller's response below: 1. 85 miles or 100 is an approximate. It is a trivial point given that it is a long distance drive from sd to santa ana. The crux of the matter is that you sold me 4 cories when you knew ahead of time i wanted 6. I acknowledge you are closed on Wednesday. You had employees in the shop anyway on Wednesday--they said they had to come in anyway to feed the fish for the long weekend whether i came or not. 2. The invoice i received is an automated email invoice. I can email it to you like. It has 6 cories written on it, not 4. And to your reply i am not looking for other cories, iam looking for the habrosas. 3. You knew i was there to pick up six (that is why the invoice that you personally emailed me stated 6 habrosas, which you wanted me to pay). So Eiither you or your employees did not take stock before you emailed me an invoice or you knew ahead of time that you did NOT have 6 and tried to sell me what you have. 4. The 4 habrosas and the oto cats have SEVERE red gills when they were pre-packed in bags upon my arrival. Either this is due high ammonia or red gills disease. I regret buying them. 5. A local fish store in san diego says it is bacterial and recommends medicine treatment. Since the day i picked them up They have been in medicinal treatment and it is nearly a week where the red gills have been present even with daily water changes and 0 ammonia.. I never had this experience with other local fish stores. 6 aside, i have received unsolicited yelp correspondence from your employee. Note i was courteous with your employees. They did not need to initiate any involvement in yelp which was not appreciated. 7. The only correspondence was that you would send 2 cories free of charge on monday and i would not take further action until we resolve this problem. 8. Please do not send the 2 cories, i am wary of the quality of care from your shop given the state of the cories and oto cats. Going forward I will not be ordering from this "guppy mill". And i will report this to the bbb and to other social media sites

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.
