    Thai Silk Flowerhorn
    Randy B.

    I moved out here to about 7 months ago! Been to a few different fish stores and all was pretty much the same. Your usual African cichlids, goldfish, discuss, betas, and plecos. But after walking into this shop I was greeted by Ty, which was very helpful and knowledgeable! I purchased a nice 3Inch SRD flowerhorn from him at such a good price it was hard to say no! I highly recommend this shop if you're lookin to get a tank started or just want something out of the ordinary that other fish stores don't carry. He will help you select and get everything you need to get started and answer your phone calls and any questions you may have!

    Sharks for sale. Haven't seem them anywhere else besides the bala kind.

    First went to Tom's when I just started in this aquarist game and I couldn't really appreciate all they had to offer. Now that's it's been a good amount of time I can really give a good evaluation. This spot is definitely a hidden gem. Not in the greatest of strip malls but that has never deterred me from checking out a fish store. When you walk in and make a left you encounter a huge room wrapped with tanks with them going down the middle as well. The neat thing about this place is they have fish that are small and also grown for you fish lovers with more mature tanks. They also sell rare fish you won't find elsewhere such as Pikes, grown Arowanas, Sharks and Rhino fish. They also had one of the healthiest tanks of about 40 tiger barbs that I have seen in any store. The owner is related to the owner's of Tiki's in Bellflower and P&P in Cypress and are always willing to cut deals. Especially on items in the front of the store where are of their supplies and dry goods are. This place is definitely geared toward the more advanced hobbyist but have a little something for everyone.

Age of Aquariums has both freshwater and saltwater (marine) plants, fish, corals, driftwood, and cleaning equipment. The space is large, clean, and you can tell that they take great care of their fish because they look active and not sickly. I came on an afternoon over the weekend and was excited to see so many people asking about how to care for aquatic plants, when to introduce tank mates, etc. When you enter the shop, to your left are tanks, decorative wood, and dry goods like supplements. Loosely speaking, it seems like freshwater specimens (including some hefty bettas, thank you for keeping them in nice big mason jars instead of plastic) are on the left side, while marine/saltwater are center and right. The plants you see when you enter are far healthier than what you'd find at big box stores - I myself picked up some red root floaters and an Anubias variety called white rose. I've been to many a shop growing up that were dim, damp, and generally not as well kept as Age of Aquariums. They really take their time to explain how to design a tank, care for plants, and what to look for in healthy fish. Really fun spot I would like to bring my dad to so he can upgrade his 10 gallon tank!

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.

I had a good online experience but this is not the reason for review. I live close enough that I visit the Compton location for in store purchase. The last few times I have gone they were out of nightcrawlers and superworms. How can they be out of superworms for months?! That's like McDonalds being out of hamburgers. They were sold out for a solid 2-3 months. I called the office since none of their other phone lines work and they said they had superworms finally so I headed down on a Saturday and to my surprise they were closed early. This is the third or fourth time that I have gone there and they are closed or went home early. To make it worse, their phones do not work so you can't even call to get confirmation. This place has gone downhill quick in the last couple years which is sad since their prices are incredible compared to a pet shop. I understand help is difficult to find but the two girls in the reptile shop could care less about their jobs. It's been pretty frustrating that they have been closed on multiple visits, their phones don't work, inventory issues, and had to buy online and pay for shipping since they close when they are supposed to be open.
