The owners are great, welcoming and knowledgeable. I've been in the hobby for a while and have gone to all the LFS's around Fullerton, La Habra and Anaheim and can easily say their price is unbeatable. Some of the most expensive shrimps like the blue bolt for instance was 1/3 of the price of other stores... I bought around 20 shrimps and they are all doing great!

For years all I had were mosquito fish, but this time I wanted something with a little more color and went in search of the right fish. This place is great and through my research I ended up getting orange white cloud minnows as they are an easy to care for fish and cheerful and happy swimming around in my pond. I went back a month later and bought more and every single one of them is still alive a year later and had babies (fry) in my pond. So now I have double the fish I paid for in less than a year. Highly recommend them!

I was shortchanged…read more I spoke with nolan that I would like to order 6 cory habrosas for pick up the next day (today) and 5 CPDs. He says he will send me the invoice to pay over the internet. I told him i would pick up from San Diego (more than 100 miles of driving each way!!!) I did not pay yet and asked to change my CPDs to 3 otos. I told him i would like 6 habrosas, at least. When i drove up to santa ana (the next day), with an invoice of 6 habrosas there were only 4 in stock. I understand that Corys prefer larger groups. Had it been disclosed ahead of time that there were only 4 corys, i would not have driven up from SD to Santa ana and the INVOICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED BY THE SELLER If there is not enough stock. There were not even enough otos as i requested. -This wastes my 3 hours of round trip driving (100+ miles) and gas to be short changed. ----------------- -i will have to report this to the BBB as well. -after speaking directly with Nolan, i will wait for his business to rectify this situation before i take additional actions. --------------- Edit on 12/2 after seller's response below: 1. 85 miles or 100 is an approximate. It is a trivial point given that it is a long distance drive from sd to santa ana. The crux of the matter is that you sold me 4 cories when you knew ahead of time i wanted 6. I acknowledge you are closed on Wednesday. You had employees in the shop anyway on Wednesday--they said they had to come in anyway to feed the fish for the long weekend whether i came or not. 2. The invoice i received is an automated email invoice. I can email it to you like. It has 6 cories written on it, not 4. And to your reply i am not looking for other cories, iam looking for the habrosas. 3. You knew i was there to pick up six (that is why the invoice that you personally emailed me stated 6 habrosas, which you wanted me to pay). So Eiither you or your employees did not take stock before you emailed me an invoice or you knew ahead of time that you did NOT have 6 and tried to sell me what you have. 4. The 4 habrosas and the oto cats have SEVERE red gills when they were pre-packed in bags upon my arrival. Either this is due high ammonia or red gills disease. I regret buying them. 5. A local fish store in san diego says it is bacterial and recommends medicine treatment. Since the day i picked them up They have been in medicinal treatment and it is nearly a week where the red gills have been present even with daily water changes and 0 ammonia.. I never had this experience with other local fish stores. 6 aside, i have received unsolicited yelp correspondence from your employee. Note i was courteous with your employees. They did not need to initiate any involvement in yelp which was not appreciated. 7. The only correspondence was that you would send 2 cories free of charge on monday and i would not take further action until we resolve this problem. 8. Please do not send the 2 cories, i am wary of the quality of care from your shop given the state of the cories and oto cats. Going forward I will not be ordering from this "guppy mill". And i will report this to the bbb and to other social media sites

I went in specifically for a big piece of a Rainbow Coral and I was expecting to drop a lot of money. I found a 5 mouth colony of their Deadhead Rainbow for a fraction of what I was expecting to pay! Uber excited for this piece to grow out and the customer service was top-notch! From the moment my daughter and I walked in to the moment we left, we were made to feel like family! Lastly, I was caught off guard when I was offered a freebie. I feel bad when I don't pay for something, but Ben insisted and for that I am very very grateful! By appointment only so make sure you call and make an appointment!

I no longer have an aquarium, but I still love the fish and what I really love is coral. This store is the best salt water store I have ever been to. They have a vast selection of fish and they are healthy and the prices are fair--know that salt water fish are not cheap. They also have great service and if there is a fish you want that they don't have they can likely get it for you. They also have the best selection of coral I have ever seen at a store and they even have some live coral (most stores sell dead coral). This is what I was looking for. I just wanted a piece of blue coral and they had it and I bought it. They also have an online store that has a great selection. The place is family owned and parking is easy. They know everything and will help you so go there.

Jessee was super nice in explaining their shipping process and the difference between their warehouse vs retail availability but that they could mix them for shipping. I ended up adding a couple inverts to my order to try and offset shipping costs and recently received my new pets. Everything was shipped very well, it was getting cold here in Houston and the heat pack provided remained warm so my tropical pets were still in a good temp range when they arrived. All my pets acclimated well and have seemingly adjusted to life with me so far. I'm hoping I'll be able to visit the store front itself next time I'm back in LA!

Great selection, great prices, and friendly owner!…read more They carry a variety of fancy goldfish, discus, koi, parrot fish, and arowana. I only paid attention to the price for the fancy goldfish (so not sure about prices for the others) and they're cheap! PetSmart/Petco is nearly double the price with less selection and lower quality. The smaller size goldfish range from 2 for $10-15 (so comes out to $5-7.50each) to bigger size being $15-20 each. The big chain stores are $6-8 for small ones that are half the size of the small ones here to $25-35 for the bigger ones! The owner is so friendly! I stopped by 4x before I ever bought anything and he was always very friendly and welcoming even though I would leave empty handed. When you're interested in buying just let the friendly owner know and he'll bring over a big pitcher filled with tank water and leave you alone so you can slowly select/net your own fish without feeling like you're being rushed! I ended getting 5 smaller sized ones and he even gave me a discount! Will definitely return if I ever want to purchase more goldfish!

We first heard of CK Fish World when we attended the reptile & fish expo at the Fairplex last year…read more Our son loves fish and asked for some new fish and a tank refresh for his birthday, so we went to CK to check it out. I called ahead of time to ask what fish would be best for the tank setup we have already and the staff members were so knowledgeable and patient with our kiddo while he chose the fish he wanted. The store lowkey looks like a mad scientist's lab, but in the best way! The tanks were clean and there were obvious quarantine procedures taking place. They have a beautiful and expansive assortment of freshwater and saltwater fish and other marine animals, tank equipment, and aquarium/tank decor. The staff member checking us out gave us a little discount when he heard the purchases were for our kid's birthday. My son loves his new fish and I'm so glad we decided to go to CK instead of a large pet store corporation! Huge shout out again to the staff! I highly recommend getting your aquatic needs fulfilled at CK Fish World!

Unfortunately, he's noticed inconsistent customer service. At times, the staff--especially who he believes may be the owner--can come off as rude or dismissive. There have been instances where he felt ignored while waiting for help, which can be frustrating as a returning customer. That said, not everyone there is like that. He mentioned that the woman working there is always kind and respectful, and there's another male employee who is helpful and provides great service when he's around. Because of the inconsistency, it's hard to fully recommend the shop, but when you do get help from the right staff, the experience is much better. Hoping they can improve overall customer service to match the good experiences we've had with certain employees.
