      They are restocked weekly. We just sold out of the purples the other day but we have a handful of the Banana Crabs on hand! Purples and discos will be restocked again likely midweek of next week

      Great selection of fish. But most of all excellent patient customer service. Mason helped us and he was so knowledgeable with all of our questions.
      Our 3 children wanted their first fish and Mason helped us out so much. He got us 4 fish and recommended food and plants for our tank at home.
      We will definitely come back for any further needs!

      Stopped by visiting from Oceanside in search of Koi angel fish, I couldn't find them anywhere, and they didn't have any in stock. But one of the associates showed me some nice platinum angelfish and shared that they would have some Koi angelfish in stock in the future. Great fish and customer service, glad I stopped by.

      Bought a piece of spider wood here and put it in my tank, about a week later the wood started turning black. It also made my whole tank cloudy. I would be careful buying driftwood here!

      This is the premier freshwater aquascaping store in San Diego. As other reviews have said you will get top tier customer service and each employee has their areas of expertise.

      The owner is humble, friendly, and always willing to help. The employees being happy to work there is also a very positive sign.

      I've never had a sick fish or invertebrate from this store. And I'm confident they'd work with me to make it right if I ever did.

      Their tanks they have on display speak for themselves
      Go and check them out.

      I've been a loyal customer at Tropical Fish Stop for over two years, but my recent encounter has left me deeply dissatisfied. Despite my past positive experiences, the store sold me fish infected with ick on my last visit. Last week, they refused to sell me eight cardinal tetras, claiming they were infected, only to discover this week they have over two tanks full of them.

      It's evident that Tropical Fish Stop neglects proper fish quarantine procedures, prioritizing profits over customer satisfaction. The inconsistency in their statements about the cardinal tetras, initially claiming they had them for three months, raises concerns about the store's transparency and honesty.

      This experience has shaken my trust in Tropical Pet Zone and I urge fellow customers to exercise caution when considering purchasing fish from this establishment. It's disheartening to witness a store prioritize profits at the expense of the well-being of their aquatic inventory and the satisfaction of their patrons.

      Petco & Petsmart are cool for basics, but if you're looking for expertise then make a visit here.

      From salt to brackish (where ocean meets fresh water) to just freshwater there is tons of options. All the employees from what I've observed are very knowledgeable. Although we live in Chula Vista, this is my preferred destination.

      They have a wonderful selection. The customer service was wonderful, and it was fun to have someone help walk us through ideas and brainstorm.

      Stopped in when we were in the plaza. What a great little shop. Their filtration system is on point. The water & tanks were so clean which was nice to see.
      They have a good selection of fish, tanks and live plants. My moms loved and had guppies ever since I was a kid cuz she grew up in Singapore where there were wild guppies in the waterways. So it was cool to see the variety and colors of guppies here.
      The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.
      Can't wait to come back when our house Reno's are done for a tank setup.
