This is a very nice, calm, relaxing, and fun to shop at. They have alot of uncommon fish here that you won't be able to see at other major store like petco and pet smart. They have a lot of great supplies, food and will help you to decide for anything when you ask. I would come here again and again to support our local fish store and highly recommend anyone to give this a try!

I love this store and love the personal, patient(LOL), friendly, knowledgeable service. If they don’t have what you are looking for, ask about it. Steve, Melissa and Larry will always make time. My husband and I won’t make a move on our tanks, buying fish or adding corals without consulting them first, as they have earned our complete trust. We drive an hour each way to their store just because they are our FIRST choice in buying ANYTHING having to do with our fish tanks. They have never sold us anything we didn’t need or weren’t ready for. We have always gotten healthy fish from them, even though that is not always guaranteed when fish have to go through the stresses of transportation and new environments. I HIGHLY recommend Bakersfield Aquatic Pets as your first stop for Fish Tank/Aquarium inhabitants and supplies. See the picture of our discus tank. Discus Fish purchased from Bakersfield Aquatic Pets.

Good place for corals, saltwater fish and inverts, freshwater fish, tanks and supplies. They have RO/DI fresh and saltwater available(best to call ahead for large quantities). The staff is always helpful, friendly and accommodating.

I have had a great experience. They get to know their customersand I appreciate that. I bought my aquarium from them and Larry picked the perfect starter-fish. They are all still alive almost a year later. I only buy from them. I have made the mistake of buying fish at other large chain stores... they die everything. I bought "live" plants online and they came anything but alive. Spend the little extra to support a great local store and and extremely knowledgeable staff. If I could give them more stars, I would!

Believe it or not I bought a fish at another store and forgot to get food for my new friend so when I got home and discovered my error sought about to find some substitute for the flakes. I tried crumbled dog biscuit, opened a can of sardines for a tiny voice of tail, and finally a very small catapiller who kinda just floated on the surface and wiggled. All three strikes. So I left my new Glow In The Dard pal, 'The Green Lantern' outside in a converted Birdbath. { come to think of it, a fish in a birdbath is not a good idea either }, but would have been a different Blue Jay Way, at any rate my new tropical fish was going to spend the night in 56f weather, in a glass bowl inside a birdbath overnight without food alone ... back to the plot line ... Did I mention that this little guy was netted out of an aquarium, put in a plastic bag, given a shot of air & rubber band wrapped to get in a truck and be driven to a torture chamber. The next day swimming sideways The Green Lantern' is no doubt ready for a quick trip to any deserving plant in the garden or booked on a cruise to the Pacific, but Eureka, a turkey baster saved the day by blowing bubbles into it's prison, { give me credit for not blowing my exhales into the bowl and killing h with Co2 } ... a slight revival imsues.At this point, I've all but killed the poor little fella. So to Bakersfield Aquatic Pets who Gave me a lot of advice and Free flakes after hearing my story.

Good fish store. Tanks clean. We were Oscar shopping 1 day and was told and paid for a "lemon" oscar. She is an albino. We love her still, but not a lemon. She is extra large now!!! Very tiny when we got her.

Awesome aquatic store. Much healthier fish than the big chain pet store. Very knowable. Drove from porterville to check it out. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.
