    Good place for fresh water fish and aquarium. They have nice selections of guppys and other fresh water fish. Salt water is nice but a smaller selection. Salt water fish selection is growing in their new location. Prices are a bit higher than other places but they have nice fancy fish most of the time.

    These are my fishes, bought all of this in Calis tropical ... ive got 3 , 30 galloon tank and small ones at home.. We usually go to petsmart but they refused us service when i tried adding 1 more goldfish in a 30 galloon tank, and wants me to buy more bigger tanks. so i found their store, and bought their pretty much everything whats in my aquarium. i got glofishes, 3 fish suckers (columbian zebra pleco), 2 betta, and 5 female guppies, and planst and substrates were from Calis tropical. Staff are accomodating as well. the store is big and decent prices.

    Knowledgeable staff, great prices and beautiful fish. Our neighbor abandoned some tropical fish that I wasn't able to incorporate into my own tank and Cali's Tropical Fish was kind enough to let us surrender the fishies to them and I'm confident that the fish will be well looked after and if sold, go to a good home. Excellent store, great customer service!

    This mom and pop shop is a great place to buy, start and add on to your tanks.. with a great variety of fresh and saltwater fish, the shop owners son is helpful and answers your questions. The fish are reasonably priced and the setups on display are great. I can’t wait to come back and support.

    This is a great store. They have a lot of small fish and the staff was friendly and knowledgable. They take good care of their planted tanks and they are beautiful they also have good prices. They have a lot of rare fish there, which is always nice. Last week I bought two puffer fish and they are still alive and eating in my tank.

    Employee was very helpful and basically guided me through what I’d need and his overall recommendations on my project, the plants, soil, are as of now great, a bit too early to say. Friendly and helpful. Thank You.

    I recently visited a tropical fish shop with friendly staff members, and while I had a pleasant experience interacting with them, I was slightly disappointed by the limited variety of fish available; however, they explained that new fishes are coming every week. The staff members were incredibly helpful, providing me with valuable advice and answering all my questions.

    AMAZING fish shop with a wide range of shop from plants, freshwater fish and saltwater fish. Theyve got such BEAUTIFUL Oscars, pea puffers and different assortment of guppies and shrimp Ive never seen anywhere else. I thought for sure Id have to pay a TON to ever have an elephant ear guppy, but what do you know? Theyre right down the street brightly colored with their signature fins ripe for the taking! Love this store

    The livestock section was a bit sparse, not really anything worth making a trip out for. The plant section and fancy shrimp selection was decent however.

    Pros: depends when they stock, but they seem to have the prettiest fish. We always come back for this reason. Cons: they rarely disclose the price of fish. Even if it's listed on the tank (rarely is) it's not accurate. For some reason, it's usually marked up and you have to ask. For example, I bought a Pleco fish, listed for $2.99 but for some reason it was $8. I'm fine with paying more, but I'd like to see it up front and why.

    Been coming here for awhile at first seemed legit grabbed a bunch of supplies and would grab salt water every other week or so for my tank. Well last week they unfortunately didn’t have salt water but instead of telling me they didn’t have it they used tap water and mixed a batch up real quick . I’ve gotten water from them so often and never had a problem ever so didn’t even think twice about just adding the water to my tank . Well close to 800$ in corals are now dead luckily my fish are fine but corals not so much. All they did for me was give me 15$ store credit . Place is a joke when it comes down to it they just wanna make a quick $ I’ll never recommend this place to anyone again !

    They’re doing ok, their knowledge about fish and aquarium is not bad, but I got the bad experience with the product, the number of quality is not right. I don’t wanna say what is this because I decided to keep it after they gave me more extra, but just hoping they keep doing the good things because building trust from customer is not easy. Check what you buy first before leaving guys.

    From the outside it looks like it could be a large well stocked aquarium store but when you go in, it's really empty. The fish tanks have very few fish in them and are not well maintained. There was a lot of dead fish and lethargic fish. The salt water tanks were only a little better. They did have nice frag tanks and some pretty shrimp tanks though.

    Fantastic family owned shop. Always friendly. Gorgeous aquascapes and healthy fish.

  • 5/5 yesenia r. 2 years ago on Google
    Great store been here 3x over the last year. Fish look healthy, premium Aqua soils, their hardscape supply is limited BUT I've always been able to find something that suits the vision I had to my tank, they have lots of variations of shapes and sizes. Plus! who doesn't love as fish store that has some nano tanks on display for inspiration. The female galaxy betta and 3 danios I bought last year are still healthy. Definitely will keep coming back.

    Bought a 150 dollar gold fish. Asked Dennis the owners son what to do. The fish dyed 3 days later. He refused to refund my money. Do not do business here. It was the stores fault his excuse is he is a small store and can't refund money.

  • 3/5 Star S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was fine nothing super fancy normal generic fish with little to no hardscape for sale. They were nice inside asked if we needed help but there just wasn't the selection I was looking for.

  • 3/5 Grem_ 1. 1 year ago on Google
    It has a really good variety of products and fish. I was looking for cichlids though and their selection was lacking much color which told me they were either too stressed or not very healthy.

  • 4/5 Stacy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean and set up nicely. They aren't over stocked and the fish look healthy. Once I started talking to employees they were pleasant. Once our tank is ready, my son wants to back to buy their jelly fish 😀
