Really cool experience coming here and look at all the different fish they have. Their coral reef is really awesome. Fun dance music the second you walk in. The staff are friendly and helpful. If I had an aquarium this would be a sweet place to add to my collection

Walking into the store was walking into a beautiful dream! This store is HUGE and there are a lot of black lights and fluorescent colors to make the tank illuminate with life! There are a LOT of salt water fish. There is a great selection of fresh water fish also! There must have been over 250+ active tanks in the shop. The staff here are super friendly and helpful! I needed to learn a few things and owner Jesus took the time to help me. His staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Prices are super reasonable! The selection is vast. Tons of fun, useful and professional items here! I'm a new huge fan!

My family love coming to LAX Aquarium! We first came here when we found out about Reef-N-Busters (iykyk) and we've been coming back since! We buy corals and their live sales and pick up but always end up leaving with more than what we originally came for. Whether it be more live goods or something we win from the claws. Kris and his awesome team are always happy to help with any questions or other requests we have. They have a huge selection of live stock and has been the only place I've seen with a vast selection of different designer clown fish. LAX Aquarium is my daughter's new favorite LFS for a reason.

Bleached out live sale goniopora

They sell unhealthy livestock, really sickly corals for their live sale, and when your newly purchased Blue Tang dies due to not fault of your own, will say they'll honor their 48 hour livestock guarantee twice, then call back a few minutes later to say they are not going to because of their store wide livestock sale. If you take into consideration they ALWAYS have a sale on their livestock, what a shady way to pull the rug out from under their customers who spent $180 in one trip just in their livestock alone. Their live sale corals are a joke, had I know their "multicolor goniopora" was actually a purple goniopora halfway through serious bleaching event with the connective tissue peeling off, I'd have run away fast. Don't bother with this place if you're serious about the hobby. Actually, stay as far away as possible. No hobbies in LA in their right mind would ever come here, I should have listened to my mentors. The only thing the owner truly cares about is taking your money to lease his obnoxiously hideous six-figure Jeep.

I want to thank Chris at LAX aquarium and his crew for doing a fantastic job with my aquarium. His fishes are quality at affordable prices.

Kris is the man! The shop is incredible. Lax aquarium always has tons of coral, fish and everything else you'll need for your aquarium. The live shows are very exciting as well. I drive about an hour each way because this is the only fish store I'll ever go to.

Really cool lfs. It's pretty big. They have a bigger salt water selection than freshwater. Staff was nice and knowledgeable.

When I first came here back in November I was a very satisfied, happy customer. The guys who helped…read moreme were friendly and patient. Most tanks were maintained and maybe one or two small ones needed attention. I spent lots of money on back to back visits. 7 months later went for more corys and unfortunately some changes have brought on this review. Peering into some of the very first tanks as I walked in, I'm noticing dead fish sprinkled about. I understand they could've had a busy rush, but they didn't look freshly deceased. Not a good look. Algae growth in some areas, yikes!.. and this is the first time seeing significant hair algae in a high tech display tank. Higher prices on basic plants than the competitors. They aren't rare, large or fancy and half are raggedy or already dying. Their anubias (cased) used to be BIG and impressive, but now small and they're charging the same price. Lady behind the counter helped me, but when she made a "portion" of guppy grass I discovered it was HALF the portion those guys have given me in the past. And I still got charged $8.99 for it! Not like they didn't have enough to sell- they definitely did, but even so I feel she should've pro-rated for just plucking out 5-6 sprigs. I also bought some (Venezuelan?) corys, albino corys and amano shrimp. The Venezs are super happy but now I see one has white on his back, hoping that's not fungus! And sadly two of the albinos didn't make it so far. They were tiny and delicate, so it might've just been a sensitive species (even though I acclimated them slowly over hours) but still that's money I'm out. The good part is they have a pretty wide freshwater fish and shrimp variety and most of the tanks are kept clean. Fish I've bought previously are still happy and thriving. They also have a large supply of dry goods, frozen food and supplies which is convenient. Parking is plentiful in the rear and access through the back of store is awesome. I still want to check out the new fish they get in. Don't know if I can trust in it sadly. *EDIT* The owner reached out to resolve the portion issue. I'm hoping they fix the rest so I have confidence with live purchases again.

I bought your guys water to do my water change, and it killed all my I bought all the fishes at…read moreyour shop no more than two weeks three weeks ago and they're all died on their first water change did 50% water change added new water in it resulted in all the fish died
