But ill just keep bugging Drew the Tattooer

Great store, nice staff. Excellent selection of fish and they get shipments Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday you can always find find a new species and some nice fish. Plant selection is sub par but priced well.

Well lets see, first i want to thank Nina who was super awesome and patient with me. She was the ideal customer service rep. Now in regards to the store. Not the biggest fish variety that ive ran into BUT had some really cool rarities which was nice, and in general a very decent selection. Now where this place really REALLY shines is in supplies and various products. ESPECIALLY Seachem products. Large variety of HOB filters and the accessories for them. For example after many hours of research I decided to replace my p.o.s. topfin filter with a Seachem Tidal 35. ( fits perfectly without needing to modify my aquarium top) Not only did they have them in stock and at the EXACT online price, they had several accessories for the Tidal filters. I was absolutely thrilled to discover this! In a bind I can make a quick run up to this store and get EVERYTHING I need to tend to my Lil Buddys (Fish). I posted a variety of pictures of shelves with products for you too view, however please note I didnt get everything (it was a little busy) so there is plenty more. I recommend calling and asking if your not sure you see what your looking for in the pics I posted. That being said I ABSOLUTELY will be returning here soon, I even messaged all my fish loving friends to give them the good news. Their food and chemical selections were better than any Petsmart and Petco, and some things were even cheaper! Im very happy I happened upon this place. Kudos to the owner for not price gouging and keeping everything super affordable for his clients. I look forward to my next visit. Oh and to people who have never been here before I highly recommend comming by with a few extra minutes to spare and really getting a good look at their impressive inventory, youll be pleasantly surprised.Thanks again guys!

WONDERFUL! INCREDIBLE store. Guy has owned and operated for 21 years now and is awesome at what he does. All sorts of different animals (fish, reptiles, snails, frogs, live rocks. You name it) you wouldnt even think of ! All the supplies and food needed for your pets! Highly recommend.

Iv been coming to this shop for years now. Its the only place I buy my fish and fish accessories. The people/owner are vary nice people. They know what there talking about when it comes fish. The tanks are clean and the fish look happy and healthy. There prices are reasonable and they got good products too I would recommend this shop to any one that loves fish and is looking to start a new tank or add to an existing tank this is the place.

Got the fish I was looking for. Nice for a ma and pa place. Friendly staff. Took time with me and made sure I knew how to take care of my new pets. I will go there again for fish. They carry most of the fish that bigger retail fish places dont.

Review №17

The nice thing is it has a lot of supplies, so if youre looking for that stuff, they probably have it. It may be a sign of the times (COVID-19), but the store itself was not very clean and I had to wander around for a while before anyone asked if I needed help. The thing that most gets me is the misleading picture of a bird as the fist image to pop up on Google. They have nothing to do with birds or any bird items. I dont know why they would keep those images.

Tropical treasures is a local pet shop with tons of variety in pet supplies from fish to lizards, and even some bunnies too.The ship has a lot packed on it for its size. You really gotta take your time exploring because there is so much on the shelves to check out.Cashier/employees were consistently asking me if I had any questions throughout my visit and they were very friendly. I will return in the future, its nice to have a local shop that is reliable.

The staff are awesome. Every trip has been great. I love that months later can walk in and the gal remembers the snake I bought and his routines and helps remind me of something I might have missed. You dont get that at other pet stores. Friendly and knowledgeable staff make the place our go to every week.

Used to go here quite a bit. But the last time we went was about almost 2 months just forgot to write this review. After COVID hit you would think they would appreciate the business. The last time we did visit I believe it was the owner he was extremely rude kept correcting us on things that were ridiculous like dry rock called it live rock by mistake he had to correct us but not in an informative way just condescending. Also felt very rushed during our visit even though we ended up spending a ton still. Like we always did every time we went. Just wanted to write this review not out of spite but just cause I’m upset cause I did always enjoyed going there. But haven’t went since.

A little crowded, tanks filled with algea, which means things are well established. Slight over crowding of fish hence the nutrients for the algea but all fish look very healthy and active. Would recommend this place!

Don, the proprietor, is always helpful with your home tropical fish needs. He also will allow you to donate or give up fish if you no longer desire them or are moving, etc, etc. His prices are reasonable and acceptable within this market of business !!! I have been RECOMMENDING Tropical Treasures now since 2010. And if you need help setting up a nice Aquarium 125 gallons or larger he will get you rolling for sure, by using his skills and experience at your home as well. Thanks Don !! - Mr. Paul

I was looking for someplace to help with my aquarium rather than the large chain I was going to. The owner was very informative and the prices are reasonable. It’s great to be able to get advise that is consistent. It’s a small but quaint place. Very happy to support this small shop.

Review №51

Horrible !!!Rude customer services especially the guy in glasses rude as heck. They take a long time to even help you and they don’t even tell you about their policies if a animal dies on you.The animals are probably the only good thing about this place other than that customer service is horrible. I bought a reptile here a few months ago and died within 2 days and the person basically told me too bad.

Review №54

Its been a while since I was in the fish tank hobby, but the world of aqua-scaping drew me back in and my twelve year old sons fascination with the world of guppies. Lol. The first fish store that we found near us was Tropical Treasures, a throw back to the gone by days of fish stores when I was a kid, and the perfect place to take a kid to explore. Littered with aquarium stones and branches, and fish and shrimp hiding in almost every corner, you can spend an hour or more playing like a child again. And if you happen to talk to the owner, you can get the advice that only comes from a lifetime of passion. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a choice that is not PetSmart or Petco, and their constant issues with ich, then look no further.Just plan on staying a while and be reminded that fish can shave off the years of wrinkles even if just for a little while.

Review №55

The guy there seemed very impatient while I was trying to pick out fish. He finally dumped me off on some other girl who disappeared and then didnt come back, when I just wanted more fish. Finally kicked me out the door because they were in such a big hurry to get the aquariums in from outside.

Dont let the disorganized apperance fool you, this is a great place to buy fish. All the fish weve bought here have been healthier and longer lasting than any other place Ive bought fish. Plus a wide selection of beautiful fresh water fish. Overall a great place!

Review №64

The first thing I noticed was the stench of the place. I got the impression the guy waiting on me didnt want to sell me anything. Everything I did was wrong and I should get rid of all my fish except one in a thirty gallon tank. But looking around I see severe overcrowding of large fish in the same size tanks. Been doing fine for years with the tank I have and a large fish pond. Asking about plants I see snails, good place to get a snail infestation. Dont bother to waste your time. Difficult to see a business watch money walk out the door!

Review №65

Very helpful staff. They have been critical in helping take care of my bearded dragon. They have offered tips on what to feed it. They have helped me with getting my lighting correct. The place is crowded with merchandise. They have had almost everything I have needed. They have plenty of crickets. When I went they did not have dubia roaches.

Review №66

If you are looking for a store that sells fish and not so much into servicing your fish tank for a monthly price, this is the place..mom and pop spot, with a Plethora of verity. Price wise..its a customer who sells fish, and loves them as much as you do..great people, can get busy at times but keep in mind its mom and pop well worth the patience. There is very few and I mean very few, places like this. Put this place on your to do list for sure.

Review №67

Absolutely love this place. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, well stocked and reasonable prices. If they dont have what you need, they will quickly offer to order something for you. Store is clean and animals look to be well cared for. I wont go anywhere else for feeding my ball python.

Review №68

Ive been going here for years now for my beard dragons heating lamps. Me thinking that the owner is probably knowledgeable of all these reptiles had been telling me to get the WRONG LIGHTS FOR MY REPTILES. Now I have a dying reptile on my hands that has a calcium deficiency and is shaking and lethargic and wont eat or drink. The lights I need to get for them HAS TO CONTAIN UVB LIGHTING. He has been recommending me these cheap 10 dollar lights that I go through all the time when i could have been getting the correct lights. Make sure your local pet store is knowledgeable on your pets otherwise you might have a dying animal on your hands like me.

@skullcandysassI recently got my Mojave ball python snake here and I love this store! They are pretty small but they have everything you need! The staff are all friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable. I went in at least once a week to visit my snake while I was saving to buy her and they never got sick of me coming and asking tons of questions, lol. The store is clean and fish/reptiles are well taken care of. They have a nice array of different species. I get my feeders here as well and will continue to go here because they have excellent customer service. :)

Good selection, different stuff from other stores in the area, staff were really friendly and willing to help but the store was cluttered and tanks all pretty dirty.

Don(the owner) is probably one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable people in the valley with animals of all types. Fish, lizards, mammals, etc. He knows proper care on literally everything Ive ever asked about(I verified by researching before asking him and hell either reaffirm or correct my information).Hes caring and will even remember your name. Ive frequented literally every lizard shop in town. Hes the only place that gets my business now. You will not be dissatisfied.
