    Example of the poor quality fish they ship while advertising A+ photos online.

    Advertised high quality, grade A fish and what they ship out is a far cry from the photos. Will not return my texts from the customer line in their shipment.

    Healthy hardy fish and water snails. The Chinese loach is a favorite and guppies are reproducing like crazy, as a novice fish owner it's been so easy and a joy to take care of and watch. My toddler enjoys as well and we look forward to fish feeding time!

    Every time I come in they are always the sweetest!! This shop is very cool and i love the different shrimp varieties they have. Would definitely recommend coming here. Prices are fair.

    Clean and neat space! We got guppies and shrimps and our kids just love them so much!! The owners were so nice and kind. Lots of on sales product! For sure we will visit again!!

    Ask the Community - Swimming Creatures

    Is the store open as of right now? Or is it still online only until they move locations?

    Still online only as of Thursday. I stopped by new location on Wednesday and they still have approx two weeks till opening.

    This is My second attempt at starting an aquarium. My Husband had a 50-gallon fresh water tank back…read morein the day which I loved to watch the fish - very hypnotic & fascinating, swimming to & fro - but when He leveled up I had to let His fishy friends go too (the maintenance requirements were too overwhelming for Me then). My first recent try was to go the traditional route - heater, filter, bottles of water conditioner & beneficial bacteria, etc. etc. - when I unexpectedly happened upon an eye-opening You-Tube vid about the Walstad method (less homework & a more natural environment, the way God intended). So I returned all that other gear & am starting from scratch. Fernando eased My initial anxiety arriving as a total tank newbie, and gave Me a tour of the various low-maintenance plants I could start My nitrogen cycling with. Nolan - the Captain of this aquarium supplies ship - answered every one of My questions with patience & grace, did not talk down to Me or make Me feel stupid, and I left feeling happily hopeful that I might actually be successful in creating a fish-friendly safe & healthy environment. I am already envisioning My future fishy tenants, plus a snail & a sucker fish or two. Wish Me luck!! :-)

    First time here and ended up buying a bunch of fish for my new aquarium! David was super friendly,…read morehelpful, and knowledgeable. They also had 15% off the fish, which was a great deal! Only downside was that it was pretty hot inside, but overall, great experience. I'll definitely be back!

    The fish and Coral Store is great. I used to have a huge salt water aquarium that I had built and…read moremaintained myself and I also worked as manager of a the salt water fish area of a fish store, but this was so many moons ago. 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.

    So I recently ordered from this LFS as they happened to have a fish I've been wanting for months…read morenow (pink streaked wrasse). 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!
