This place is the best of the best. Definitely we'll kept aquarium fish. Prices are fair. There is no parking lot but you can park in the alley behind the building. Very nice selection and the fish are very healthy.

Best fish shop around these areas. I have to drive from San Gabriel to get fish and shrimp here. They have much more variety and they take care of their fish and shrimp very good. 👍

Stopped by this shop to pick up supplies for my upcoming no filter nano shrimp tank. The owner was extremelyyyy helpful. He spent 30 mins telling me what i absolutely needed, the benefits of each item as well as some of the drawbacks.They have EVERY possible thing you'd need to get started. Ranging from tanks, to filters, to variety of aquatic life, to RO water. The owner was giving me a step by step guide on how to approach my no filter shrimp tank.The customer service here is honestly so damn great. They take their time to help you with all your fish needs.

Great experience, really clean store and the staff are very friendly. Bob's Tropical Fish is a great store. It has everything you need for your tank, or if you are looking to set up a new one. They have lots of fish and tank decorations in their store as well as very knowledgeable staff. You can tell they take pride in what they do and they are always happy to give pointers on any fish or products that fit your budget. I also love the plants they have in-store.

My kids and I recently visited Bob's Tropical Fish (also known as Oh My Betta) in search of our new betta. We visited a few local stores to move away from the large retailers, (we don't shop at large retailers anymore for pets, after some hard-learned lessons...) we couldn't find a place that aligned with our values and what we were looking for. Although Bob's Tropical Fish is not a local store for us, we decided to give it a try and find a healthy fish. When we walked into the store, we were so happy about store's well setup and the optimal condition of the animals. It was evident that the shop owner has a genuine dedication to the well-being of the fish.When we asked questions, they provided us with insights into maintenance expectations and the specific conditions required for different fish species. This helped us to make an informed decision about whether we were equipped to properly care for an animal, or if we had the right set up before taking the fish home.I also greatly appreciate that they are transparent about the sourcing of the fish and their dedication to providing animals that break free from the cycle of being raised under poor inbreeding conditions on large farms. If concerns about the sourcing and quality are important to you, I highly recommend visiting Bob's Tropical Fish. By doing so, you can save time and energy by avoiding larger retailers or shops that prioritize transactions over the well-being of the animals. Our new betta has happily joined our family, and we look forward to visiting the store again in the future.

One of THE BEST LFS in Los Angeles. The tanks and shop are clean, organized, and the fish are lively. This place knows the trends and they've kept up a very modern setup. They've got great selections on plants and livestock and at reasonable prices to boot. Very much worth the visit - I will come back every time as I change up or add new tanks and scapes.

For a small store, they have a pretty large collection of products, plants, and fish. Tanks are clean and staff are around to help you. Was able to pick up some more plants for my small shrimp tank and am pretty satisfied. Only problems is that you probably have to park on pomona Blvd since parking is iffy. Also wish more products had price tags on them, because I wasn't sure for the plants.

They are very knowledgeable.The tanks are really well taken care of. They have many examples from micro to huge tanks.They seem to have a ton of plants as well.I'm sure I'll be back to pick up some plants and maybe try a tiny aquarium too!

The fish are generally not expensive and the people are friendly/helpful, but the fish health leaves something to be desired. Most of my shrimp/fish I've attempted buying from this store ended up sick with ick or dying before i even got them home (30 minute drive mind you), which is generally an issue I don't even get from buying in Petco.I tried bringing this up with a worker but he turned the conversation about how the fish were transported from overseas and that if they can survive the flight to their store, they can survive the ride home. I'm not sure if he was somehow blaming me?I want to support local fish shops with people that clearly care for and know about fish, but it's difficult when most of what I buy is less healthy but more expensive than what I can get in a commercial pet shop like petco or petsmart.

I somehow stumbled upon Bob’s Tropical Fish online and found a listing for a betta they had rescued. (Note: they also go by “Oh My Betta” for their betta fish.) I was a bit nervous to order a fish online but I have to say the process was so smooth! Jasmine was so sweet and upgraded my heat pack free of charge after I realized the weather in my city would get quite cold. My betta shipped very well packaged - heat pack, proper insulation, and a stable surrounding box. He was shipped in what looked like stress guard to manage his stress.He was eating within an hour and has been swimming around for the last few days quite happily - he’s even started to make bubbles nests. I’ve purchased bettas from local stores that have not faired this well. You can tell he was taken care of properly while in BTF’s care.Overall, highly recommend Bob’s Tropical Fish/Oh My Betta for their customer service and quality fish! Thank you!

Inspiring tank setups in store. Pretty good fish selection. Lots of cultured plants available. Prices seemed standard. Parking is terrible and not much social distancing in store.

The guys at Bob's are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about anything aquatic. In the last 6 months I've been in there numerous times for stuff ranging from water testing to planting an aquarium. As a business, the will do what they can to make things right if there is a problem. Their animals are well taken care of, the place is clean, the water in all of the tanks is crystal clear.In addition to being knowledgeable and very customer service oriented, they are just plan nice guys! I really appreciate all the help they have provided in setting up my tank.

Bob:s is a great store. Very nice selection of cichlids, nice healthy fish, Nice selection of community fish and some nice salt water as well. I'm not a saltwater guy but I was incredibly impressed with his freshwater selection and a nice selection of high quality food as well. Very personable great staff very friendly and willing to help and answer any questions you may have. Wish it was closer to me, I'd buy everything there if it wasn't far away. Hope to get there again very soon. From what I understand he gets frequent shipments of quite a few different species of fish. Very fair prices for fish plants and accessories. Fairly small frontage so it's kind of easy to miss but definitely worth the trip.

Love coming here, don't do it often since it's a little far from where I live but when I do I'm always amazed by all the stuff they have especially the planted tanks 😍.

Clean, knowledgeable, friendly. They have a good selection of fish and plants. Got some great looking rainbows today. The parking situation is confusing but it's worth the trouble to check this place out.

The staff is always friendly and knowledgable and their tanks are always clean and full of healthy creatures. Their prices are unbeatable and make shopping local and supporting small busy incredibly easy. This is my favorite fish store in LA and I can’t recommend it enough!

Awesome place! Been there a ton of times. The owners are really friendly and knowledgeable. I started with a tank for myself and soon after my wife got one as well. All the fish are doing great and the plants look amazing. Can't recommend them enough. Update a year later. They are always looking to bring in new and exciting additions to the hobby and have since bought an aquarium for my sister and she loves it. Still the only place I will buy anything for my aquariums. Going there today for more plants.
