The owner is very knowledgeable and welcoming, and is always happy to answer any questions. The fish are all healthy with a good variety of both salt and freshwater creatures. A great store for both beginners and more advanced hobbyists.

Healthy and happy fish! The owner is very knowledgeable. Good selection of items. Including fresh live brine shrimp! PLEASE DO NOT SHOP AT PETCO OR PETSMART! Their fish are not healthy. Do not risk bringing a disease home to your aquarium.

Wasnt sure what to expect when I walked in the store when all the lights were off. I should have asked, but the owner asked if I wanted to look at marine or freshwater and when I said freshwater, he flipped a switch and half the store lit up with tanks. And boy were they great. Every tank was full of beautiful, healthy fish. Hardly any had accurate labels so I had to keep bugging the owner with questions. Most dont have prices but assume they will be on the high end of the range. But its worth it. Many of his fish come from local breeders. As far as the livestock is concerned, this place is up there with Ocean or Aqua Forest in the top three SF fish stores.

When I go to a fish store, I want: an expected selection of fish, healthy fish, and required items for proper care. This store checks all of those boxes.I have purchased fish and a shrimp from Natural life and theyve all come in good health and are doing well. In my experience, the owner, while not overly attentive, has never been unavailable or rude.Prices are higher than an average box store which is to be expected at a small business - particularly one that maintains better health in their fish. My only critical feedback is that the store could be cleaner.

Great selection of saltwater and freshwater fish. And healthy fish, too. Nicer than the larger box stores. The store may not look like much from the outside, but inside, the selection of fish is better than the local stores in the area.

Small, dirty, tanks were filthy and covered in algae, service was gruff and seemed annoyed to have customers. Prices were average to high. In general, hard to recommend versus the many great options that can be found in the Bay Area.

First time there and is a new favorite of mine - well stocked with fresh/salt fish and accessories. Solid knowledge and very friendly. I live in Pacifica and this is the closest legit aquarium store to us. Better prices than the box stores too!

Store has almost everything thing you need for your reef aquarium all supplements food filters. Place is packed. They have a good selection of corals but prices are a bit higher than other stores. They have a punch of huge corals. Also, lots of green allergy bacteria growing and they are tanks looks like they dont clean them also customer service not good thanks for reading my opinion for one time visit.

I used to shop at this aquarium shop years ago when they were in the southbay. I thought they had shut down, until I discovered them again in SSF!This is great news because this store is one of the best Ive ever been to. There are other good aquarium shops but they are all in the east bay, its too far of a drive for me.I highly recommend this place, the people really know their stuff.
