Been coming here for years because they are the closest to us and we want to support a mom and pop store but multiple times now, their fish have had ich. It has wiped out many of our older healthy established fish (killed a lot of money we spent on those fish). Just spent about 100.00 there. Brought the fish home and low and behold, 2 days later there is ich in our tank. Won't be going back after this. I guess it's partially our fault for going back there so many times after the first outbreak and not doing a quarantine at home, knowing their fish ALWAYS have ich. read more

It's a mom and pop shop. I had a huge gold fish that outgrew my tank and they took him. No question asked. I have been back to support the small business by buying plants and supplies for my aquarium. Sure you can go to the chain store but why? Help out the local businesses read more

The owners are very understanding reasonable with your needs. My family will continue to visit the store for reef tank needs and anything else. read more

Happy Fish Pets - This is one of their aquariums. - Aquarium Services Near Me - Brea, California

Very helpful. Respectful. Clean tanks. Answered every question thoroughly and helped me get set up for my new tank. Will be back again

They are very knowledgeable and very helpful. I appreciate their care every time we visit.

Update: I visited again today and the super sweet owner remembered me and even pointed out fish I was looking for the last time- which was months ago! She helped me find the healthiest fish throughout the tank, gave great advice and even gave me a few duckweeds to grow on my own. At the end she also gave me a cold bottle of water since it was so hot outside and it's these little things that make me love this store so much- please support them, they deserve the attention & recognition for their hard work & care in the aquatic industry!! You can find anything you need for your tank here and if they don't have it they'll order it as well and give you a call back when it's arrived. :) read more

Absolutely fantastic, they were kind and sweet. They gave my brother and I waters. I stumbled in because I had a fish that outgrew its tank and they would take it for me. They were super helpful and very kind. Even gave me extra snails. Definitely going back. read more

By far the best fish store we have visited. We buy lots of fresh water but also have salt water fish and have been too many in LA county,SB and OC now they even gave us cold water and left happy with a new flowerhorn we will be back for sure!! Stop by you won't be disappointed. read more

To start, the owners are so sweet, knowledgeable, and friendly. The store is clean, the fish are happy, and there are a variety of fish! We came because we've been looking for a female koi betta fish & the owner showed us where they had them. We were so happy! But of course, after looking around we didn't just leave with the female betta lol We also liked the aquatic frogs and aquatic snails, the owner told us that the betta is a great fit with the snails and frogs & for the size of our tank - 1 of each is good. So we left with 1 female koi, 1 aquatic frog, 1 aquatic snail, and of course - frog food. Will keep coming to this fish store. Our 2 year old daughter thought she was at the Aquarium of the Pacific haha Big thank you to the owners as well for being friendly and kind, offering our 2 year old daughter snacks. read more

First time here and the owners were both very nice. Purchased 2 large containers of salt water, but it's salinity is 1.016, which is too low. I'll have to go somewhere else tomorrow to get salt water again. Willing to visit again someday. read more

I went in to check out the business because I am thinking of starting a tank and the store has some of the most amazing fish and corals! It's a great little store and when I'm ready to design my new tank, I will be ready to visit Happy Fish read more

They are seriously the sweetest at Happy Fish Pets! They have a great selection of fish, tank supplies, wood and plants for very fair prices. I would recommend coming here for all your fish needs! Definitely going to be my go-to fish supply store from now on. read more

Owners are super sweet and very welcoming. Prices are very fair compared to other stores. I would really recommend coming in!

Amazing store, amazing customer service. My son wanted his own pet for his birthday. We already had a tank, so fish were the best option. Even though we only needed the fish, Happy Fish Pets have all the equipment you need, and even some very fun and cute decorations (my son loved the Spongebob themed decor). The staff were so helpful and answered all our questions. My son wanted guppies, and he had specific colors he wanted, so they very kindly helped through the process of picking the specific fish and colors he wanted. My son also wanted a bottom feeder, and they helped us make a good choice based on the size of our tank. The store itself is amazing -- and just looking in all the tanks is an experience. The fish are very active and healthy. If you are reading this review, then you are thinking of supporting a small business. I highly suggest you go to Happy Fish Pets. read more

My son and I love going here for our wet Pets the gentleman is always very helpful.Ive been coming here for all my needs since last year.

Knowledgeable and shared wisdom to avoid affecting my newly set up tank! My fish family made it during my drive across the country, last thing I want is to kill them. But these guys are on it and have a nice selection of tropical and salt water fish! read more

Happy Fish was the third fish store I visited today & was the best, hands down! They have a great selection of healthy fish. Everything is so clean and organized. Lonnie has tons of knowledge as well. When getting some fish for us, he was able to tell us which were male, which were female, and if they were compatible with our current fish. We had other product questions and he was able to answer them all without hesitation. I will definitely be coming back to the store to expand my fish collection! read more

Excellent selection of saltwater and freshwater fish. Came here for some healthy looking well acclimated Discus. Owners, a husband and wife, were super friendly and patient with the tons of questions we had. Owner happily showed us around the store and then answered every question we had, making sure we were comfortable with the final decision: Discus. Owner explained his water parameters and showed the fish eating both dry and frozen feeds like crazy, making us super comfortable that his word that these were healthy specimens was accurate. Freshwater selection has all the usual fish you would see, all healthy and reasonably priced. Plant selection is great as well, everything was vibrant and lush. I am no longer in the saltwater hobby, but if I was, this would be my go to store. They have a great selection of marine fish and a huge display with some monster sized tangs and angels, all for sale! Rarely are these type of large/show size fish in a display for sale, but the owner stated it was all for sale, so if you are looking for big tangs or angels well acclimated to tank life, come here! A+++ store selection, price and service! read more
