Aquatic Collection

This is the best aquatic store in the Bay Area hands down. This staff is incredible! All of them have fishtanks of their own and usually multiple set ups. They love their job! They are all energetic, emotionally involved, and truly care about your success as a hobbyist. They strive to see you succeed. There is no better fish store in the greater Bay Area.

Thank you!

This Fish Store is by far one of the best fish stores I’ve been to in California. What I find excellent about this store is they have the date the fish arrived on every tank along with the price. Having the date on the tank is essential it really tells me a lot about the condition of the fish and it’s chances of survival. Every time I leave this place I feel like it is money well spent. They have a huge selection of live corals & anemone’, saltwater fish, freshwater fish and even tank supplies. Everyone working here seems to be very knowledgeable and willing to help with any questions you may have. They also have great selections of frozen fish food and they do sell RoDi water and mixed saltwater by the gallon. I was here for mostly saltwater fish and I am just amazed at the selection of fish they have, this is my now go to store. Thanks Aquatic Collection keep Killing it! Here is a few fish in my quarantine tank I purchased from them recently. A juvenile flame Angel, juvenile yellow boxfish and a cleaner wrasse. Also took a pic of their beautiful humu Trigger they have in store. Just flawless fish

Update 2 weeks later: I am at 100 percent success rate all 4 fish purchased from this place lived through quarantine and successfully transferred to my DT with no issues. Only negative thing I can say about this place is that if you think you are going to call them to place an order over the phone or ask about something in stock… Good Luck you’d have better luck getting through to the IRS then this place. They should really start answering the phone. Other than that if going to the store you’ll love them.

Amazing store with a huge selection of both freshwater and saltwater fish/invertebrates, corals, and equipments. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Very much recommended

The staff is VERY well informed and helpful. The owner is simply terrific and has generously donated equipment to the high school biology classroom where I teach.

Also, the displays are beautiful and my kid loves coming here to look at the fish while I ask the staff endless questions! The fish are very well cared for.

I would rate this place 5 stars for the great customer service and selection of aquatic livestock and coral but giving 4 stars cause of lack of knowledge of some of the staff. I purchased a feather star fish from the store a few days ago. I was there earlier in the week and had asked an employee if the feather starfish was easy to care for and will get along with fish. He said that it is not easy unless you have time because you have to feed it alot. That's not a problem so I decided I would think about it and hold off. I came back a week later and asked another employee if it was OK with fish. He asked what type of fish do I have and I told him triggers and tangs. He said they will leave it alone and it will be fine. Well I bought the feather starfish. Paid $65 and was excited. Went home and acclimated him and a half hour later he was in the tank . Looked ok and everything was fine. Hopped in the shower and when I came out his limbs were scattered everywhere. The fishes tore him up. So much for being ok with fishes. Now he's sleeping with the fishes permanently. Thanks!!
