By far the best aquarium store in the area. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable, along with all of the staff that I’ve spoken with. The fish they have are awesome! Also, the fish food choices are incredible. The tanks are always clean and the plants offered are top notch. I drive past other aquarium stores on my way here - you should too.

Fantastic store for fresh and salt water fish, glad it's in my area!I go there for freshwater fish and they regularly stock many hard to find fish. Within the last year I bought green neon, galaxy rasboras, and emerald dwarf rasboras, all of which I have never seen in another store.They also have a good selection of tetras, cichlids, and Goldfish.Skip petsmart or petco and come to ocean blue aquarium!

What a great store and a amazing staff. I love this place and if you’re anywhere near it and you are looking to build something awesome or purchase an amazing aquarium, please go here first. The staff have been incredibly helpful and I couldn’t say enough nice things about them. So please support this local aquarium shop and skip the big box stores. You’ll find way better stuff, better people and far more variety and everything else in between.

Started a saltwater tank for the first time with fear but Jake made me understand it take patience with a high reward. Now I come about every other week to test my water. By the way they sell saltwater!! $1 gallon, which is awesome!

Bought my aquarium here 3 years ago, salt water with live rock, coral and fish. Owner is knowledgeable, guided me in proper direction for care of fish, what types of coral to buy, maintenance of the tank and always has a nice variety of fish, foods and all the materials I need when I go in to get my water buckets filled every 6 weeks. A++++++++++. So glad to still have a local owner/operator in our area. P.S. If you want something and you don’t see it just ask he will procure it for you.

I stumbled onto Ocean Blue while making a U-Turn to another LFS. What a lucky break! They had a very healthy stock l, and the Sveni I'd been trying to find locally... for weeks, and weeks! And the prices were better than I've seen anywhere too! Thank you, I'll be back!

Awesome store! Don't go to the chain stores for your tropical fish. Come here! These fish are well cared for.

I went into the store to find a small fish for my son. The prices shocked me because some fish were over $100. I asked the curly long haired guy if the prices were correct and he said some fish were rare. I told him I'm looking for Walmart priced fish. He made a snarky remark and said then you should go to Walmart. Then he paused and said I can show you some that we have over here. I cut him off and said No, I don't need your bad customer service. He said excuse me and I repeated myself. I tried to continue shopping to see if I could find an affordable fish but I was so mad that I left. He said Have a good day when I left. I wish Walmart still had fish for sale but they don't. He has some nerve talking to a customer like that. He needs to learn how to control himself and his comments. Just because he's miserable he wants to take it out on others. I will never go back there again!

Giving 5 stars because it is locally owned and operated and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! Their prices are definitely on point and you can tell they are looking to make money, (it's a business) but they don't price their stock outrageously like the other larger chain stores. Definitely my go to!

Love this place. I come with my wife almost every two weeks. The owner Vin is great and knowledgeable, answers every single question we have since we are new to the marine reef aquarium hobby. The customer service is great. Vin tests our water for us every time we go and gives us tips and advice. Here at Ocean Blue there are nothing but healthy and happy fish, his livestock is great. I definitely recommend this store to anyone, experienced or beginner.

The fish here are absolutely beautiful! It is obvious that they truly enjoy what they are doing and care for the fish. The clincher for me was when he took his time with my 9 year old daughter about her little shrimp tank. Very encouraging to her. I've gotten a few other fish here and every one has been healthy and done wonderfully.

How does this shop not have 5 stars? These are the healthiest fish and plants I’ve ever seen in a store. Great selection including unique and hard to find fish. Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful staff. I’d be perfectly content never going to another fish store again. This place is great.

I have been a customer for over 15 years. They are knowledgeable, friendly and carry top quality products and modern fish tanks. The coral, marine and freshwater selection has also been top notch over the years. I went from discus to saltwater and reef. And have bought my two rimless tanks and led lights there too. Highly recommend!

The store itself was impeccable and the livestock all appeared healthy. But never have I been treated so rudely by the owner and workers. Was in there at least 30 min and no one bothered to ask if I needed help. AND then when I try to ask one question, I get every sales pitch for every reef supplement (Gimmicks) that they have. I will never spend a dime there.

Vin is fantastic. He has always had good advice and been very helpful. Prices here are really good compared to other places in town. Anything you need for your aquarium, salt or fresh, I highly recommend Ocean Blue. I have corals and fish that have lived for years from here. You won’t regret it.

Can't wait til his finished setting up! It's going to be great. Reminded me of the shops my father used to take me when I was a child in L.A. The owner is Asian and they know all about tropical fish and their care. It's going to be GREAT!

Wonderful store! Setting up a 30 gal. That has been in storage for a year staff is awesome to work with!! We will be back to buy fish soon! Definitely stop in here!

I have been to this aquarium store numerous times and they never disappoint!! I went in today to purchase discuss fish, the owner was extremely helpful and friendly as always. If you are looking for saltwater fish, freshwater fish, supplies, tanks or drift wood this is the place to go!

Some nice colonies, especially some large soft corals. I appreciated the fresh water livestock much more than the available saltwater animals (which I was there to see). Nothing labelled on the tanks or if it had been, it was from weeks ago or was obviously irrelevant to what was currently in the tank. The setup looked temporary, like the store (recently moved) didn’t have long term plans here. That said it was overall okay (I would give the fresh water side a 3 out of 5), just not confidence inspiring or deserving of repeat business. I came, I saw; I would rather visit one of the many other great reef stores in the area.

Absolutely love this place. Owner is great with transparency; quality fish for a great price. He’s been in business for so many years, very reputable fish store

Love this place great price ! Coming back for sure ! I don't know what these other people are complaining about honestly. I love that the people working there don't come and bother me, they let me take my time and look around. It's a more comfortable shopping experience when someone isn't following you around trying to push products on you and talk to you constantly, plus these guys were very knowledgable and friendly when I did go up to them and start asking them questions. Do you really need someone holding your hand while you take a look around and figure out what you want to get? That's just sad.

Very nice and helpful owner. Our tank was messed up because the water was off so we came to ask to test the water for us. He was so nice and helped us test the water. I will definitely come back. Some aquarium store dont really want to help you set up a tank but this store will definitely will!

Purchased a discus from here, was impressed on how knowledgeable the employee was on water parameters and how calm he was even with multiple customers in the store and only one employee to help.Was also impressed with how the discus were VERY lively and curious.Recommend this place for discus. I didnt check mush other fish out tho but I'm sure they're all the same.Also want to mention the clarity of the water was amazing.
