    Stumbled upon this shop, and even though they are still on the process of setting up, I was pretty happy with the selection of fish and shrimp and the amazing customer service. 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!

    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!!

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

    First found this shop on Amazon then once I found out, they were local, made the drive to check them out in person.

    Knowledgeable people that actually care for the fish and will provide you the info that you need to…read moreproperly care for them. This store has a great selection on both fish and accessories. I'm out in Torrance but drive here for my fish tank needs.

    7seas is a bit of a mixed bag for me. On the positive side, they have a really great selection of…read morefish and dry goods. Tanks, lights, filters, hardscape, supplies, you name it. They also clearly know what they're doing. The staff is knowledgeable and can answer questions without giving you that blank stare you sometimes get at other aquarium shops. But the pricing is honestly kind of shocking. A lot of their equipment is outrageously overpriced compared to what you can find online or even at other local stores. For example, I saw a UNS double valve connector selling for about $60 when the same thing is easily available online for around $20. They also had the Kessil 35° reflector priced at $50, and I've never seen those go for more than $30 or $35 anywhere else. I get that local fish stores have overhead and can't always compete with online pricing, and I'm totally fine paying a little more to support a brick and mortar shop. But some of these markups feel excessive. If you need something immediately and don't mind paying a premium, it's a solid store with good selection and knowledgeable staff. Just be prepared for some pretty steep prices on certain items. Overall I'd say it's worth visiting, but definitely price check before buying equipment.
