Haven't been here in a few years and it has changed a lot, and unfortunately not for the better. I…read moredon't know if it's just temporary but the back half of the store is no longer accessible and the store is only a quarter size of what it used to be. There was a small selection of freshwater fish and a lot of the tanks were empty or the fish were in poor shape. The variety of fish were also limited with a few species that are somewhat uncommon but i wouldn't say rare. Prices are moderate to high and for some of the quality of fish, very overpriced. The front still has the two giant tanks but they don't seem to maintain them as well anymore. i used to be excited to stop by here and see what different types of fish they would have but that is not the case now. For the prices, i rather go somewhere else or buy online and get much better quality. I unfortunately can't recommend this place anymore unless you are in the area and have 10 minutes to kill because that is how long it took me to see the whole store.

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!

I felt he went above and beyond especially considering we were trying to set up a very small aquarium that my toddler went nuts over and he did not need to spend all that time with me on the phone (and didn't even charge us!) I would highly recommend using his services for any of your aquarium needs, I was pleasantly surprised by his knowledge and kindness. We will definitely be using his services in the future for any more aquarium needs. Thank you again!

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...

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.
