My man Chad!!! We just started our tank a little over 2 months ago!! All I have to say is, this is the best fish store in SoCal!!!Chad has really gone above and beyond to make us comfortable. Every time I walk into the store I feel at home!! He also comes over and helps with the tank!! Chad is the best!!!

Both father and son are real good to their customers. Will go back there again. Also, their prices are not too high. Very reasonable for coral and fish. If you a fan of Red Sea product then this is a place you should go, although they sell other manufacturers. Some of the tanks could be cleaned up a bit, it they are not too bad. The main display tanks are magnificent.

About a year ago I purchased a tail spot blenny for Chad at Treasures of The Sea. Since then, the blenny has been great! I recently got the itch to upgrade to a much larger tank. I returned here and Chad set me up with a great deal on a Red Sea Max system and even delivered it. Im looking forward to coming back for all of my saltwater and freshwater fish needs.

Probably a great place for salt water aquariums but their website says they also fo fresh water and their selection of freah water fish was seriously lacking and left a lot to be desired. Definitly not the go-to place for fresh water tanks.

I have to give this 5 star place 1 star for now on until his problem is resolved I love coming here but the new white B**(female dog) he has working for him today was RUDE AS CAN BE. I go to buy salt and she already starts arguing with him about the computer use and while I’m minding my business not getting in there conflict or just looking at fish waiting for my changes then she questions me about why I’m buying the salt I’m buying and says “for what for your braces” not once or twice but three times like sorry my braces offend you he should’ve fired her right there but just tells me to have a good day I respect that but it’s your place take authority I don’t appreciate being harassed. This post is no hate toward the owner or his shop it’s intended for him to make better decisions on who employs. PLEASE GET RID OF HER!!!! she makes your place not worth going to anymore.

I purchased an ocellaris clownfish from here about 6 months ago, and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. My clown is very healthy to this day, and she has the biggest personality. More like a dog than a fish. The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Beautiful coral reefs, this is a expensive hobby and the person who helped us had a lot of great knowledge. Also they have bettas for only $3, Petco and petsmart have them at $20.

New owners have done incredible job cleaning up the store and adding new fish much more coral and better lighting than ever. The knowledge and friendliness of the owners is amazing and makes Treasures of the Sea the best place by far I have shopped for all my tropical fish needs. Prices are good too. I will be a customer for a long time at this store.

This is the best saltwater store I have found in the Riverside area. When you enter the store, it is obvious that the owners know what they are doing - it is well stocked with healthy fish, gorgeous corals and beautiful anemones, and the aquariums are in pristine showcase condition. I will be thrilled if I can get my aquarium to look half as good!The owner is extremely knowledgeable and wont encourage you to buy something that you dont need, and will help you to find solutions to fit your budget. I brought in a water sample and he tested it for me and discovered that my salinity was too high (despite my hydrometer saying it was okay). My Instant Ocean Hydrometer (which I purchased at a different store) was very inaccurate. He helped me by calibrating my hydrometer allowing me to continue to use it, saving me some money from having to replace it. This is just a small sample of the wonderful service that I have received at Treasures of the Sea and More.You can trust that you will find expert advice, top quality products and healthy livestock at this store. It is clear that this store is run by people who have a passion for saltwater/reef systems.

We recommend that store to all citizens of Riverside city and county. The owner was gracious enough to educate us, explain the process of having a salt water fish tank, and how to take care of the fish. What the owner did not know is that I have been a scuba instructor for many years, have had many fish tanks all of my life, graduated with a BS in Biology, and never once, attempted to take advantage of me, or my wallet.The owner has gained my business, and my trust. Something very difficult to earn this days.I have had 1 60gallon salt water fish tank for the last 10 years. I know what I am doing, so does the owner.Congratulation to Treasures of the sea!!!!!

Awesome fish store, the only good store in the area. They really take care of their fish and the water quality. Better than the rest in the area... I wont shop any where else.

Review №32

I agree that they are more expensive than other fish stores; however, you have to take into consideration that they have to drive far to get their livestock and then turn around and re-sell them. Also, they have some of the nicest corals and fish Ive seen in the Riverside area. I purchase my livestock here, simply because I want to see what Im paying for, versus purchasing on the internet.And they do give discounts. Ask the owner for a punch card. He will give you a discount on your next purchase.Go there when its not busy and the owner will make time for you. Otherwise, get in line...like everything else in life.

Review №33

Arriving at the store there was a written sign saying that they would be opening late..... so my family and i went to eat to kill time until they opened. A couple hours later they still had not opened! This was very disappointing due to the fact that we drove pretty far and were let down. While peeking inside the store, we saw a bunch of other hand written signs taped up by the door giving us the impression that they do this often!

Higher prices than most places. The person assisting us had no idea what the prices where. There are no discounts if u purchase a lot of stuff, like most mom n pop stores. And they tried over charging us. Always look at your receipt. Save your money and dont come down to this store!

For salt water its good, but for tropical dont waste your time. Not a whole lot of tropical fish. Had Endlers mixed with normal guppys =/ thats never good. Any good fish store know those 2 should never be mixed due to breeding issues.

Supposed to open at 11 a.m. but was still closed at 12:30. Probably just as well the shop is very very tiny and from the door looking in it looks like all they have is salt water. Will not be coming back to the store.

This place use to be a great place to find healthy fish but I belive they may have changed ownership . When I went in the store was dirty, smelled bad, had dead fish that I could had been lingering in the aquarium, and the beta fish were living in horrendous conditions . Overall I was disgusted by the lack of care provided for the animals in this store !
