    Pleco
    Ike S.

    This store specializes in a wide variety of tropical fish. Freshwater fish are the main focus, but there are some reef fish for sale too. The variety of fish is outstanding, and Rick, the owner of the store, is always available to assist and answer any questions. In addition to the rows of tanks exhibiting fish in crystal clear water, there is a section of the store where tanks, and items ranging from ornamental accessories and landscaping materials, to various filters and heaters are on display...so much variety neatly laid out to choose from. This store has everything! There is fish food.. live, flakes, granulated, frozen... there are also many medications for fish ailments should you ever need them, and Rick will gladly guide you through the process. He will even analyze your tank's water if you bring in a sample. This place has been in business for decades, and I have been a steady customer since 1985. The best aquarium fish store for beginners and pros, anywhere!

    Branches and plant (post disinfection, but still gorgeous.)

    Really cool little shop, I took a chance and went in looking for reptile decor and was really happy with their selection of beautiful woods of all kinds, and what looks like a hand-arranged resin plant. Lots of turtle supplies, and some terrariums and lighting as well. Fish looked happy from what I saw. Staff was really laid-back and friendly. Shop small!

    Cute mural on the outside of the store!!

    What can I say, years later, their shop remains the number one in the Bay Area according to our a long time investment into this hobby of keeping an aquarium. We have been to many others in the Bay Area that are helpful, but we rate SA as our top choice. We have been with Superway Aquarium from when we began with a 10 gallon (2012) and now owning a 75 gallon rimless. Their variety of fish, selection of aquarium needs, price points, and personable hospitality, cannot be beat! After everything that's happened in the past few years, we are so thankful that this shop has remained open and is thriving. What does this tell you? That they have and impressive customer loyalty and a continuous growth in acquisition of new customers. You will never be disappointed with their service and contributions to your happiness!! THANK YOU

    Purchased a total of 3 big turtles baby turtles we had at home!

    Absolutely loved coming into the store. We bought a few turtles, & the gentlemen who were working there were very helpful. We felt very welcomed. They provided us with a-lot of information & went above and beyond to help us. Definitely a really spot to stop & check them out!

They take the time to answer questions and make sure you're making the right decisions for your tank instead of just trying to sell you something. One thing that really sets them apart is the products they carry. They have items on hand that you don't typically see at other stores--for example, I was able to find a roller mat gearbox repair kit there, which is something most places don't even stock. That kind of attention to what reefers actually need goes a long way. Their coral selection is also on another level. They consistently have more unique pieces than just about anywhere else I've seen, which makes it a great place to find something different and add real character to your tank. One thing I really appreciate is that the owners are always there and involved. You can tell they genuinely care about the store, the livestock, and making sure customers have a good experience. Overall, it's a very well-run store with a strong mix of knowledge, customer service, and unique inventory. Definitely a go-to spot if you're looking for both hard-to-find equipment and standout corals.

The very next day ALL the leafs of that specific species fell off! The other plants were fine , I then called Saturday the very next day to ask about either an exchange or a refund and I spoke to a representative named Mike whose immediate response was "no! there's something wrong with your tank" / "all sales are final" Mike offered no help or tips or nothing just simply blame my tank, which already has shrimp and fish and other vegetation that is doing just fine........ Definitely do not recommend buying from here unless you know for a fact, if something doesn't work out, you're screwed no refunds, exchanges, or any help. Bad bad business practice

    Aqua Lab Aquaria - After cleaning

    Update 3/12/2026: I…read morerecently bought a house in San Jose that came with a pond. Unfortunately the previous owner had passed away and left no instructions, so I had absolutely no idea where to start. I've never had a pond before and knew nothing about how to maintain one. I remember having a great experience with Aqua lab back in 2016 so I called them back up and Kent was incredibly helpful from the start. He took the time to walk me through everything and explain how the system works without ever making me feel dumb for asking very basic questions. We decided to do a one-time deep cleaning to restore the pond. Before the scheduled cleaning, Kent stopped by to check out the system and figure out what actually needed to be done. He ended up fixing a broken part, doing a full deep clean of the pond and the filter/skimmer, and adding beneficial water additives. Since I live about 3 hours away, he kept me updated throughout the process with photos and messages, which I really appreciated. He even left me some pond tools to use and offered to come back another time, at no extra charge, when I'm at the house so he can walk me through the system in person and show me how to do the regular monthly maintenance myself (or help with that if I decide I'd rather have him handle it). His pricing was very fair and actually came in lower than other local shops I contacted. Overall just a really great experience. I've attached before and after photos of the pond. Highly recommend Aqua Lab and working with Kent. What a great guy!

The only catch he told me was that he had a bad disposition and would get very agitated and try to bite anyone who got close to him.

After going through some bonding exercises (and yes he did bite me once) he has come to settle down and now allows me to hold him and is adjusting well to his new home. The fact that I was given the bearded dragon only goes to show that the people at The Reptile Room really care about their animals and customers. I highly recommend The Reptile Room for service above and beyond!

I think they also host educational birthday parties and events too. They have beardies, sulcata tortoises, leopard geckos, uromastyx, some snakes and other geckos (gargoyle and crested I think), chameleons, and I think some water dragons near the exit. I thought it was neat that they had that large tower/pillar glass enclosure in the middle of their shop as well and a shop parrot too. I believe that most of their leopard geckos and pythons were in smaller enclosures/containers as they're for breeding/are breeders or something along those lines, but I'm hoping that they get time to stretch or get purchased to pet parents quickly. Overall not bad, I always love the opportunity to look at some cold blooded buddies, but I feel like this reptile shop is more of a community staple for reptile owners rather than somewhere an out of towner would make a must stop.

"You have your receipt? It's open and we can't resell". Valid question but tone of this worker was very condescending!

Nostalgic are the times when I used to come here as a kid to see all the fish and small critters available for purchase, and now as an adult, it hasn't changed all that much. There are still sections for aquarium enthusiasts looking to bolster their underwater environments as well as for fur and reptilian baby parents with the goal of enriching or growing their family. In each section, you'll find organized aisles and shelves filled with feed, toys, medications, and other wares for sale. The prices are reasonable compared to online prices and plus, with their free (as well as paid) membership, you'll get rewarded for each purchase, incentivizing you to shop more for your pets. The points you earn are tracked through your account and can be earned and redeemed at any of their stores or online through their website. If you're a frequent buyer, you'll benefit greatly from their rewards program. The main reason for our most recent visit was for their vet services offered through Vetco, specifically for vaccinations. It's best to set an appointment through their website to ensure you'll be seen, although sometimes walk-ins are welcomed but not guaranteed to be serviced. For non-vaccine related vet services, I believe you'll need to make a different kind of appointment and work with the in-house staff during their open hours. If you've never been here, you'll be asked for your pets medical/vaccination history but once you're in the system, they'll track everything your pet receives from their office. The biggest incentive for coming here for vaccinations is the vaccination packages offered at reasonable prices without having to first pay and see a veterinarian. Despite being a mobile clinic that travels to various sites in the Bay Area, they do have experienced and certified vets on staff, available to administer the vaccines and do preliminary examinations. We were very satisfied with the service offered here through Vetco as well as the staff working the store. Everyone was friendly, patient, and helpful in helping us get what we needed and for offering ways for us to save money. It does seem this store brings in a lot of locals and frequent visitors as some patrons seem to be recognized by the staff. I love the neighborly vibe! Overall, despite being a well-established chain, this Petco has not lost its luster nor its commitment to serving their community of pet owners and pets. I'm proud and glad to have this shop in our area and hope that they continue to help foster creation of new memories for generations to come. Your pets will be happy, healthy, and safe here at this Petco!

So thankful for Katie, I know my fur babies will always look and smell fantastic!
