Hidden gem for sure. Open for over thirty years in the same spot. Walk around, feel the peace and serenity of the fish. The only wish I have is they serve Japanese tea there. I suppose it they served tea, boba, and coffee they would have a lot of people there which might make it a tourist destination. The owners would get rich but not so good for the fish with so many people, hard to control. Now it's a secret spot for locals.

Adults and Children will have a great time visiting Laguna Koi Ponds!

Although I'm not (yet) in the market for my own koi pond, I absolutely love koi fish and since I lived in the canyon, I thought I'd stop in to check out what Laguna Koi Ponds was all about. Well I was in for a treat! I could not believe how many koi fish they had - ranging in color, age, size, etc. I had no idea how beautifully diverse koi fish could be! Not only were the fish impressive, but the gorgeous habitat and vegetation made the place seem more like a sanctuary or retreat! They have such gorgeous pools, ponds, waterfalls, and plants and flowers that made it the most delightful experience! I could've looked around for hours, it was so peaceful and serene. And it really does make you fall in love with the koi fish too! I felt a little bad for being there so long with no real intention of buying koi fish, so when a friendly staff member asked if he could answer any questions, I sheepishly told him that I'm not yet in the market to buy any koi fish or build a pond in my yard - but that I just really wanted to look around. To my delight, he completely understood and seemed genuinely glad that I was having so much fun looking around. He answered my questions, showed me around, and seemed proud to be able to show me their amazing grounds, ponds, and selection of koi. If you or anyone you know is looking to add a bit of beauty, nature and tranquility to your home or office space - this is a must see!

Stan the cat was very welcoming as we walked in to Laguna Koi Ponds. He meowed and let us pet him. The koi fish were pretty cool too and the most lovely water lilies!

I married someone with a family of koi ponds I have driven past this gem over and over. As a family we finally dropped and this place is amazing on dozens and dozens of levels. It's almost like a living museum of beauty with amazing plants and many fish and much knowledge to help your pond thrive. Thank you so much for all you share with the community.

Great service. Had a clean out of the 2,500 gal koi pond and waterfall we inherited when we moved into our house two years ago. Forgot to take a "before" pic, but it was really brown looking. All the side rocks and bottom looked like they were covered in dirt/mud. Dan and Sal did an awesome job cleaning out everything! Took great care moving the fish to a temporary tank. Then went to work practically cleaning and hosing down every rock in there working from the top of the waterfall downward. Definitely more than I expected. They were great in answering my questions not just on the clean out process but taking care of the pond in general. Highly recommend and will be using again whenever I do a clean out.

Our first few koi mixed with their shubunkin goldfish (which we haven't seen anywhere else - gorgeous long fan tails!)

First time here was ok, we did not have a pond yet. We were asking questions still and getting ideas. The older gentleman working at the time had no interest in helping whatsoever. He was visibly annoyed by our questions. You could tell he was answering out of obligation. I am pretty sure he made his assumptions quickly we were probably wasting his time or were "small fish" with our backyard pond so not really worth his time. I am sure their primary business is big ponds in mansions on the coast? At least that's how it felt to us. We took the hint! We had our pond built by a different company, came out beautifully and we're very happy. However we love coming here, all our koi fish are from here and probably 60% of our plants. What really makes this place were the younger guys working here. We've probably been 5x since then and they really take the time to walk with you and answer all your questions. They really make the trip there enjoyable!

The house we are staying at has a koi pond in their yard and they were looking to get a couple more fish for their pond. We were asked if we would like to join them and learn a little about koi fish. We had a nice drive into Laguna and pulled in. There is not a lot of signs telling you where it is but they had been there before. When we walked into the outdoor area of this beautiful business we were amazed at the size of the tanks. There was the sound of gushing water and bubbling water, keeping the water fresh for the fish. We started at the first tank we came to and looked at the different color combinations that the koi could have, orange, red, blue, brown, gold, white and the list goes on and on, super cool! My friends were greeted by a really friendly and nice guy who was explaining the different markings and color combinations. This gentleman was very knowledgeable, Greg was his name. We looked at many tanks of fish as Greg explained the names of the fish as it pertains to their breeding. The fish come from Japan where they are bread. There are various sizes of fish and various prices to go along with it. We watch as my friend chose a Gosanke/ Sanke what a beautiful fish, they also chose a Goshiki , another beautiful fish. These fish were on the larger size and they were not cheap. They also picked up food and some enzymes for the water. These fish were bagged and boxed for transport . Greg was very thoughtful and knowledgeable when answering our many questions. Greg was an obvious expert, the fish made it home safely and love their new home, they were a beautiful addition to the existing koi pond. Highly recommended

Our new koi fish

Best selection of beautiful koi in SoCal. Great setting and helpful staffs. We got three beautiful koi for our pond, couldn't be happier! Staff is very patient in explaining to us the different varieties and help us chose the best ones for us. Plenty of tips too on how to keep these fish healthy and happy. This is our third time here. Our previous koi got poached by racoon during a stormy night. Apparently raccoons live to forage when it's raining hard bcs they know all the pets and indoor. My wife found fish scales and that was it. Those koi were with us for years. Oh well, glad this place is so close by us.

Drove 45 minutes to check this place out and it was definitely worth the drive. The owner was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, giving valuable information about koi and how to properly care for and raise them. Their selection is larger than any other koi fish store I have been to. Highly recommend and will be coming back.

Beautiful koi displayed

See all

After going through a few different cleaners I came across SafeWatersSerivces and have had them come back ever since! I was worried at first since the tank is a 150 gallon reef tank (loaded with corals and invertebrates) and I didn't want anything to happen to it. Time after time they leave the tank spotless! It has even become a game between my children to try and find missed algae spots on the glass but to little avail! Best fish tank cleaning service in the game!

We had another company move the tank from our living room to the garage, however after it was moved, we found a few fittings leaking. We needed to find another aquarium service company and came across SafeWaterServices on Yelp. Blake responded quickly to our inquiry. He visited our home to view the tank size and provided a reasonable quote. He came back several times to take pictures of the water flow setup, tank, refugium, and other setups. On the day of the move, Blake and his team were professional and carefully brought the 180 gallon saltwater tank back in the house with steps, while watching out to not bump into the newly painted walls or scratch the new floors. They replaced the leaking fittings, as well as a couple fittings that may be potential issues, and check the rest of the setup. We are happy that we were able to find SafeWaterServices to move the aquarium.

Not only did he do an incredible job servicing the tank, but he also helped me physically transfer the entire system to my new unit. Moving a tank is incredibly stressful, but he handled everything with such care and professionalism. A few highlights from my experience: Expert Knowledge: Jared provided amazing education and information throughout the process. I learned more about my water chemistry in one hour than I have in the last year! Crystal Clear Results: My tank has literally never been this clear. The water is pristine, and the glass is spotless. Happy Fish: You can genuinely tell the fish are much happier and more active in their refreshed environment. I am so impressed that I've already signed up for monthly maintenance to keep things looking this good. If you care about your fish and want someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile, Jared is your guy!

Will definitely be using his services again and recommend him to anyone looking for some fish help!

We have four tanks in our home, and my boys worked hard to save up for their own 20-gallon setup. We cycled the tank properly, tested the water regularly, and added fish slowly. I chose to shop at Oceans Tropical Fish because I wanted to support a local business and was willing to pay more for healthier, higher-quality fish -- especially given the poor reputation of many big box stores. Unfortunately, the fish we purchased from Oceans turned out to be sick with ich. Despite all our precautions, it spread to the entire tank and my boys lost everything they had worked for. I also breed fish myself and currently have about 60 juvenile cichlids, so I'm not new to aquarium care. I went back today to speak with the owner, hoping he'd be willing to make things right. I even offered all my juvenile fish for free in exchange for some help replacing what we lost. Sadly, the experience was disappointing. While the owner clearly knows fish, he runs a poor business. Instead of showing any empathy or professionalism, he spoke down to me, blamed me for the loss, and offered no assistance whatsoever. He even criticized me for having purchased some fish from PetSmart -- fish that were actually added before anything from his store. When I mentioned that several of his own tanks appeared to have sick fish (which he acknowledged), he still deflected all responsibility. I really wanted to support this local shop, but after this experience, I can't recommend Oceans Tropical Fish. Respect and accountability go a long way -- especially when you're dealing with customers trying to help their kids enjoy the hobby.
