I just want to say thank you to Steven and his family run business. By far since I entered into the hobby this has been the best experience working with Steven at Sea Otter he has a very clean set up all his tanks are Pets free is very knowledgeable and he gives one of the best deals and have a lot of beautiful live stock and I would highly recommend Sea Otter since I entered into the hobby he has been the best stop for me and my city I live in the high desert Apple Valley area and he’s been the best store around the cleanest too so if you’re into the hobby have a saltwater fish Tank check Out Sea Otter. The Davis Family

Really nice guy beautiful SALT water set up and supplies. I realize most novice fish enthusiasts are fresh water; so this would not be your favorite place. Although its a relief to see mature cichlids, which the big chains stores do NOT have. Also was impressed by the life coral colorful & healthy. Ask and Im sure they could order whats not on site the owner has been there 4 years.

Happy this store is still around. Always great going there.

Awesome store very knowledgeable

I have been in the saltwater hobby for 17 years and this store was a dissapointment to put it mildly. The selection of fish was small and most had visible ich. The coral selection was good for a small shop, but priced verry high with about 25% in poor health. I wont be going back and would advise folks to check prices and health elsewhere before purchasing anything from this shop.

Pretty nice simple shop. The owner pretty much tore apart his display tank for 3 blue tangs my daughter wanted. That was in my book great customer service. Thank you.

Good saltwater store in high desert. I get my RODI water at Sea Otter

Trusted the owner of this shop was being honest with my family. I have spent more than $2500 in two months on a brand new set up aquarium. I even paid the $180 he charges to have him set up everything. My fish died within 2 days, and the equipment is falling breaking down 2 months later. This guy is a thief, he lies to you to take your money. I have now read all his reviews and see that he does this to families all the time. I now know, you cant have fish in a brand new tank, but he lies and sold me $700 worth of corral and fish, which all died, just to take my money! Dont shop here!!!! The guy is a staright liar and their!!! Zero ethics!!

Good priced coral frags Fish all seem healthy.

Have some good saltwater fish, bummed they dont carry too many tropical fish selection. What they do have available is used fish supplies. Selection varies at different times.. But you can find some great deals on these items....

I had a really great experience with them a month ago until I started to buy saltwater from them. I purchased ten gallons from them that was in buckets in the hall way and when I questioned why it looked cloudy I was told it was just mixed then I took it further and ask what was specific gravity I was told it was .023 which is prefect I would have believed if they told me .022 lol so didn’t want to be rude but I asked how can he measure that reading in a bucket if it was just mixed and hasn’t clearEd up I was told they measured the cups of dry salt again to the perfect reading which by the way was not .023 when tested I took it to another store to test water because I wasn’t about to put that water in my tank and the the nitrates were 10ppm didn’t have a phosphate test wish I did do not buy premixed water from this store and with practices like that I wouldn’t buy anything from them it was probably water from a tank they tore down or something really sucks but I guess making a buck is more important to people

I want to pick up water at the sea otter

No customer service, over priced compared to other stores. Feel like your bothering them to ask a question and the few I talked too. They didnt have any idea of what they sold.

Nice variety of soft corals. They have the typical selection of salt water fish. A few varieties of fresh water too

Superb selection, beautiful tanks on display and a very knowledgeable owner. I have recommend a visit just to see even if you dont have an aquarium. Maybe you might if if you drop in and take a look !

BE VERY CAREFUL AND GET PROVE OF HIM SAYING A SPECIFIC RETURN POLICY! He constantly cheats you out on return policy! Bought a fish every other month and he told me 3 different policies.. 30 day, 2 weeks, and 24 hours and its not even guaranteed! He only does that so he doesnt loose money. Its bogus! Pet smart and Petco offer 30 day policy guaranteed! Better off there considering they have a wider variety.

This place is awesome. Steve is very knowledgeable and willing give awesome advice for Any help you may need for caring for your fish.

Great shop, beautiful fish and Corolla, been doing business with Steve for years now and hes done me wrong, highly recommend this shop to anyone in the hobby, if he doesnt have it in stock he will get you what ever u need

Bought a 18 fish and tank with food fish died in 3 days I felt got!. I asked what is needed of survival of fish and what care of tank is needed. Wanted to rush me out the door sold me a tank fish and food. I was just browsing with my baby girl that is 16 months. The store owner said this fish only needs fresh water and to be changed or a filter. I wasted my money at least Petco has a 14 day policy for the life of fish. Research more about what you want and then buy.. 80.00 spent

Its not alot of mom and pop fish supplies around do to the big box stores, at least have a little better customer service

Healthy livestock. Bought four different species of saltwater and all did well. Dont make the mistake of buying at Petco. Fish are usually ill and will die shortly.

They have a lot of beautiful fish setup but dont seem to know the proper tank size for most of these fish like they have a moray eel and a arowana which they need a very larger tank at least a 180 or more when they get bigger way bigger than the tank they are in now but it a very nice and clean fish shop

He gave me a clown fish for 25 bucks and he sold it with a snowflake eel knowing the snowflake eel would kill it. Not very knowledgeable when it comes to saltwater have a nice day

This place was amazing!!! Great selection of salt water fish! Also rare types

Little knowledge about the animals for sale. At the end of the day just another business so can’t believe much of what they say because they are just trying to make money. Waste of time and money.

They sell sick fish and dont tell you that

Walked in and walked out with a saltwater starter kit. Steve was really knowledgeable about setting up a tank, dos and donts. Will go back for sure

They have fish, but not as what I expected. Very disappointed. Only had 3 or 2 tanks of freshwater fish. They had about 5 tanks with saltwater fish, but dont waste your time. You could go to petco for all I care. At least they will have a waayyy bigger variety of fish.

Best reef aquarium store in the High Desert

Great selection of fish and tanks

Was very helpful

Large selection of tanks.

They dont carry any selection of fresh water fish mostly salt water and not many of them as well.
