Love this place! I love the online order and pickup option. I got my two fancy goldfish (ranchu) and my ʻōpae ʻula here and they've been going strong for 2 years! Anytime I have any questions the owners are very responsive and professional. Mahalo! read more

We had taken our car to Encore across the parking lot to get repaired. I didn't even realize that they had a fish shop here until I saw the sign. The door was cracked open, so I peeked in. The whole shop was filled with fishes and fish paraphernalia. They had a huge variety of fishes, not just betta. I asked the worker how much the cheapest betta fish was and he replied that it was $10. The fish that caught my eye was the Silver Arowana $50. It was more on the expensive side, but they also have fishes for $5. read more

We really enjoyed this place! So much so, my son visited two days in a row. Quietly tucked away in Kalihi, we weren't sure what to expect. We found so many variety of fish, especially our cute Pea Puffers! Reasonably priced, AMAZING customer service, and a great gem in Kalihi for any fish lover! read more

Always love coming to this shop for my tropical fish needs. They have a huge assortment of all types of fish, fish food, plants and aquarium ornaments. The staff know their fish, including care and eating habits. They know which fish are compatible with others and can tell immediately if the fish is sick or diseased. If they do spot one, they will quarantine the entire tank and not sell the fish. Very responsible management. They make the purchase easy by ordering online and they let you know when you can come to their shop to pick up. Now that pet stores are closing down, it's really great to have a source to come to for my aquatic needs. Looking forward to my platys with the Mickey Mouse markings! read more

I bought multiple buces before but it still irritates me since they all had root rot. They left in stagnant water too long and should know to take better care. Gave two stars cuz staff is friendly and the fish worked out but when you spend a lot on buce which is a relatively hardy plant and they all die it's pretty sickening read more

Location has changed since I last came here. Website still says 1015 Dillingham Blvd. Suite #1200 but it's actually 1007 Dillingham Blvd Unit #106. It'll be on your right side when you enter the parking area. Stalls 48 and 49 are reserved for customers. They're still under construction. It was pretty dark and the floor was wet when I went so be careful. Staff seemed more welcoming last time I visited but lots of fish and supplies to look through. Some have health check signs and some also have information signs. read more

MastahBetta Fish Shop - What a wonderful gem of a fish store with friendly knowledgeable staff... right in the middle of Kalihi! - Local Fish Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My family is fish fanatics. I was searching for fish, pet store and this high rated store came up on Yelp. It's a pet store inside an antique warehouse across from Honolulu Community College. Currently, there are some road work so be patient if you plan to visit here. When you turn into the warehouse, be sure to turn right and the store will be right in front and you can park in front of the store. The staff are friendly and very helpful. You can tell they are also fish fanatics too. Be sure to follow their Instagram accounts for latest fish and updates. If you like Ranchu goldfish or lion head goldfish, they have them. They also have lots of water plants and lots of beta fish. read more

Ordered online because I live on Maui. Received a text that few items I ordered was no longer in stock and I chose the wrong shipping method. Was refunded and shipping prices adjusted; recommended another aquarium plant that was similar to what was not in stock. Sounds good! Took a couple weeks due to a holiday, but plants arrived the next day after being shipped. Nice healthy plants and packed well. Appreciate the great communication, quick responses, and amazing plants. Def will order again! Mahalo! read more

The most diverse fish store I have ever been to on Oahu. I used to frequent Petland before they closed down for my fish and aquarium needs. These guys have the biggest range of freshwater fish and plants that I know of. They are knowledgeable and helpful with any questions regarding what species are compatible or not. Parking is limited, but haven't had a problem getting a spot when I have gone to the store. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for unique additions to your waterworld at home. You can't beat the name either read more

Excellent service. Got bunch of aquarium plants today. Thanks guys. Staff super knowledgeable and patient.

This shop is the BEST FISH STORE on Oahu!!!! On my mama! I found out about this place from IG scoped out their page and DM'd them a few times. They had really cool stuff on their IG as well as excellent and prompt communication through IG. So I figured eh might as well take the drive from west side to them just to see in person and I am SO HAPPY that I did!!! Josh was very welcoming from the jump, he was extremely knowledgeable, and I can't emphasize enough on just how out going and nice he was. This place is my new favorite fish store FOR SHUA!!! Josh keep up the great work I could tell by how vibrant and energetic your fish were that you folks really do care about your fish/store. VERY impressed, FIVE STARS AUTOMATIC!!!!! read more

This is my absolute FAVORITE fish store ever!!! My boyfriend and I heard about this place a couple of years ago from Instagram. We saw the name of the shop and thought it was hilarious, so we decided to check it out. It is located in Kalihi...right across Honolulu Community College. It's in a tan two-story building with lots of parking below and above. The first couple of times we visited, we got a chance to meet the owner. He is a young and friendly local guy who knows literally EVERYTHING about fish. He is informative and he also is super responsive. Within the past couple of months, I have contacted him through Instagram several times asking about a certain fish I was looking for. Every single time I received a response NO LATER than 24 hours...sometimes within even an hour of when I asked a question! Today we visited the shop and we were helped by Ham. From the moment we walked in, Ham was super helpful and very informative about various fishes' living environments, feeding, and which fish got along with each other. Honestly, I do not know too much about fish and I asked ukubillion questions, but Ham never made me feel like I was a bother or dumb for not knowing or asking too much. It was actually him that made the shopping experience worthwhile and more fun! In the end, we went home with 10 Pea Pufferfish and some frozen bloodworms. If it wasn't for Ham and his knowledge and help, our fishtank would still be empty. All in all, MastahBetta Fish Shop is the #1 fishstore to visit with friendly and informative service, a one week insurance plan on your purchase, and very reasonable prices. Please support local and go visit them!!! =) read more

My family and I went here to get some fishes! We are fish enthusiasts and were super amazed by the collection they had. All the bettas were such beautiful colors, I wouldn't be able to find any of these bettas at normal pet stores such as petco/petsmart. They also had female bettas! Which was really rare to find! People rarely sell female bettas. I was also amazed by the flower horn fishes they have. We grew up with a flower horn fish for 4-5 years. It was the smartest fish we ever had. It enjoyed head pets and did flips. I was surprised to see such a collection of flower horns. We enjoy the pre-made tanks which was easy to put our new bettas in! We will come again just to look at more fish! Haha with the large collection of bettas we might end up getting more when we come in! read more
