I usually go to infinite aquarium to get my fish and supplies since they’re closed to my work place. But I’ve driven by this place a few times occasions, but never stopped by. My curiosity got me today so I decided to stop to see what they have . The place is pretty small with decent stock. It’s a small place, but it is what it is. The fish tanks seem pretty clean to me, but not sure why some of the haters are crying about it and one even called this place’s a curse because the previous owner tragically passes away which I think is eff up. I am glad new ownership is taking over to keep the hobby alive in the community especially here in this expensive bay area estate . Bought some plants from them today and will return to get some fish from them sometime this week.

What a fun store! I saw a lot of fish that I haven’t seen in stores closer to my house. I came in search of more shrimp for my tank and I was surprised to find Amano shrimp for such an amazing deal! They also have a gorgeous selection of drift wood and bamboo hides.The store gives off a very friendly vibe. The owner is very knowledgeable and welcoming. I have to say, my favorite part of visiting this store today was the gorgeous tarantulas! I’m thankful they are way out of my price range because otherwise I would have brought them home! Only regret is I didn’t get any pictures.

Absolutely LOVE this place. We are not big-box store people, my wife/daughter/I want to be able to ask questions? Joel is absolutely spectacular, very mellow and really knowledgable. We went in, he spent a whole hour the first time just walking us through all the different tanks, fish, and processes for a salt-water aquarium. He ultimately sent us home with research to watch, before making an investment. The next day, we decided to go for it, he was there walking us through everything we needed. It's the kind of personal service you need when you're starting such an expensive hobby.We went into the big-box store just to check it out, it was super clean and plenty of sales people buzzing around, ultimate they scared us silly with talk of killing all the fish, toxins, over-priced solutions and a bunch of other nonsense. We went straight to Joel and received calm, clear guidance and left feeling totally relieved.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Save your money!! They sell sick fish here, and the driftwood is coverd in spores. Plenty of other places that do better business learned the hard way by giving this spot a chance.

They have a good selection of beautiful fish. Price is fair and the staff is friendly. A great neighborhood aquarium store. The only downside is that all staff are not wearing mask and have no social distancing concept in mind.

While they might come off a bit short, they get to the point and offer quality service all the time. Ed is always happy to conversate and give advice regarding many fish-related things. We had a rainbow fish with gravel stuck in its mouth and he gave amazing advice. Other advice he gave would be regarding tank stocking options.Prices are fair and have both used and new equipment for sale.Would recommend and come back to this LFS.

Ed is a life saver! I am a teacher and I decided to do some sea monkeys (aka brine shrimp) with my summer school students. I got a kit, followed the instructions, and it did not work. The kids were making and recording daily about our sea monkeys. For the last week of class, I decided to grab some sea monkeys and pretend they magically grew over the long weekend. Clear Water Aquarium was the only place where I could find them and Ed and his staff were happy to oblige after hearing my story. They were so friendly, helpful, personable, and eager to support a teacher. Thank you so much, Ed and your awesome staff! My students loved finally seeing some sea monkeys.

Spectacular service and products. The gentleman in the shop are exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Eric helped me choose my fish and plant life after a truly miserable experience with PetCo and PetSmart. I can't say enough great things about them.

Great staff with a plethora of species for fresh and salt water. This is not the place to go and buy all the cute stuff for aquariums like decorations or fancy lighting. It’s super focused on the species varieties they sell and your basic equipment like pumps, lights, tubing, etc. They also sell used tanks and setups if they have some available.

Went in with my mom to buy some new plants and driftwood to spruce up my elderly parents’ aquarium. Michael could not have been more sweet and helpful, my mom (who has dementia) has such a huge smile on her face and kept talking about how much fun she had. A week later she still remembers Michael and how sweet he was, which is remarkable because she hardly remembers anything. 😀They also seem to have a great selection to go with the customer service.

I've started my saltwater fish tank about 4 months ago. I can honestly say this shop by far is the best shop in the entire bay area! the prices are very reasonable and you'll never leave unhappy. I also really love the selection of saltwater fish they have. The owner Ed is a very down to earth guy and is always willing to help you out and very knowledgeable about the products he has and does custom orders on tanks and other products! By far my favorite shop, this will forever be my only shop I go to as long as I live in the Bay.

Dweeby white guy with glasses at the front desk is a creep. Came up to my girl and I and blatantly looked her up and down. Said something along the lines of "I'll give you a discount since your lady friend is so fine." This was yesterday. 4/25/2023. If that's who you have representing your store, you should reconsider your hiring process. Take care of it.

Super friendly and helpful staff and owner, they’ve been helping me try to get a certain rare species of fish that nobody else has for weeks now which is far beyond what most stores are willing to do. Definitely a great place to check out, especially if you’re trying to get something rare or interesting.

This place is amazing. Youre immediately a friend asking for advice on a very difficult hobby. They give great advice based on experience for a solid and healthy tank setup.
