Tiki’s Tropical Fish

First time checking out this cool place. Friendly staff, big variety on fish! Highly recommend checking out this place! Love this place already, will be coming back!

The staff here is super friendly and always ready to help, they’re fish are so beautiful and their exotics are great as well, highly recommend the place

Wow finally found a spot to get assorted cichlids I’ve been to almost every tropical fish in LA and orange county this place gives deals and they actually talk to you when you ask them a question not a big place but the prices are the best compared to everywhere else

First & foremost, they close at 7pm, not 5pm.
They have a decent selection of betta fish.
What got me was their price on these suckers!
5.99 for half moon and dumbo ear bettas.
1.99 for male bettas.
I’m unsure if they sell their female bettas but the do have them as well.
Everyone is friendly and helpful.
They range from tropical fishes, reptiles, feeders, plants, birds, bunnies, and probably more things I’m forgetting!
Prices are too good to turn away!
I’ll be back!

Great place, cheap crickets, been coming here for years, it’s great, better prices than petco

Best pet store! This is where we come to buy all our pinkies for snakes and everything the owner is super cool was super nice i buy everything here I think I bought my crested gecko from here

They have clean tanks, both salt and fresh water. I can fairly often find interesting fish to buy here.

Poor selection of fish, no anemonoes or corals.
The place was very dirty and the workers were idle instead of cleaning the place.
Many dead fish on display…
They also carry reptiles and rosehair tarantulas, but the cages are improper for the reptiles.

Had to give these guys an update as I hadn’t been in a few months and oh boy has their stocking changed! If you watch any YouTube videos or have seen any extreme monster fish on TV, rest assured Tiki has them. I’m talking about Arapaimas, Dovii (Wolf) cichlids, Nile Perch, Arowana’s. You name it, they have it!
I was shocked when I went in yesterday and saw all of these incredible fish for sale. I also ventured to their reptile section for the first time and was impressed with the large turtles, birds, and bearded dragons that they have.
I picked up a Lwanda (Yellow-​tail) African cichlid and a nice Bolivian ram for my smaller tank, with 2 java ferns. Like I said in my previous review, they are always willing to cut a deal and have the lowest everyday prices on most dry goods around. Check them out and peep the pics I took of the MONSTERS!

Started my first tank off with fish from these Guys. Bad idea. All my fish slowly died. They have way to many fish in one tank. And they give the worst advice on caring for your fish. Check it out for yourself you will regret it.

This place is cool lots to choose from this place has been here since I was a little boy there in business for a reason highly recommended.

This review is from a freshwater owner’s point of view
Of all the local fish stores that I’ve been to (trust me ive been to all of them), this place has the most honest employees ive ever encountered. They were willing NOT to sell me a certain fish because they wanted me to have a healthier one that they were getting shipped in. Normally places try to sell their older or more sickly fish to get rid of them. The prices here are more than reasonable and I dont find any fish here overpriced. Would I come back? Of course.

Good prices with chance of barter. Nice selection of koi’s in the back of the shop bought 5 of them for ten bucks each that were pretty good size originally cost 15. Didn’t really see a big saltwater collection but didn’t mind. The freshwater collection is average but sometimes they do have some nice fish with good prices. They seem helpful with informing me about certain types of fish and greetings. Only been there twice but average experience my journey continues.
Pros: Good Prices, Nice service, Koi fish
Cons: not to much stock of fish, store location, and kind of dirty

Lots of dead fish in tanks… Big selection in fish but its the same as natulus… Except i highly recommend natulus

Great customer service! Great prices! Very knowledgable.

Great Customer Service! Great Prices! Great Products! Always thought going to PetsMart or PetCo was the best place to go for our Turtles (Ernie & Elmo) needs but DAMN I was so WRONG!!! I’m all about small business & I will always be a faithful customer of Tiki’s

Been going here for yrs, I think one of the best local pet stores/​price wise and a decent selection of tropical fish with a small variety of salt water fish, reptiles and birds. Always friendly staff and knowledgeable

This fish store has been around forever, it seems. Way back in high school when I started in the aquarium keeping hobby, this was one of the places I’d visit and buy fish from. My friend and I would ride our bikes to this store just to look around and see what they had.
I haven’t been back to Tiki’s since the mid-​90s or so. That last visit, I bought a good-​sized red-​tailed black shark – a BEAUTIFUL fish. That fish lasted me a while. I also had purchased live food from them, like brine shrimp and tubifex worms.
The store itself isn’t very big but they do have a good selection of freshwater fish. They also have a smaller salt water fish aisle outside the main fish room.
I don’t know if the people who were working there during my last visit all those years ago are still there, but they were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. From reading the other reviews, I’m glad to see that’s still the case.

Sorry for the short review but I need more beer.
Awesome store! Had to help a friend with an emergency salt water fish problem and this was the first thing that popped into my Unilocal app on the iPhone. Thank God for my iPhone!
Ran down and grabbed what we needed… have no fear, the fish and other sea life creatures all survived! Grabbed new salt, grabbed new rocks, grabbed some funky filter thing that does weird things with the water and other liquid things that do things to the water stuff… and we were off!
Long story short, this shop saved the lives of many fish in a desperate time of need. Do you get that?! Fish were SAVED! Lives were saved and families brought together. Homes were kept scarred. Marriages were rekindled, and in the end… peace was brought back to a small world, in a friends home… that could have tragically been lost if THIS SHOP DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!
Mad props to the young guy that helped us. And mad props to the hot girl that walked into the store to buy a goldfish that will never read this.
Outie 5000.

This place is pretty good.
The selection of fish is above average. They have some datnoids, bichirs, baby jardinis, gars, and other harder to find fish. The tanks looked pretty clean to me.
The selection of supplies and dry goods is pretty impressive. They have a bunch of filters and I got a good deal on a high capacity filter (500 gallons per hour). Remember: ALWAYS bargain at fish stores, especially if the owners are Asian. If you pay cash, you’re even more likely to get a good deal. At the very least, ask for NO TAX.
They have a lot of birds and reptiles in the back, but I wasn’t interested in those.
The owners are pretty cool and didn’t mind me asking them a dozen questions. Their sons look kind of intimidating (they look like MMA fighters) but they know their stuff about fish too.
