7 Seas Tropical Fish — Attraction in Los Angeles

My 2 star review is mainly about price. Kind of outrages prices when you compare to everything you can buy online or Amazon. To the owner: bring your prices down a bit and you’ll get more sales. I’ve seen some reviews here and they also say your prices are high. There’s no doubt that you guys know your stuff but the prices are extremely out of control. The same GFCI outlet adapter I got from you costs $20 on Amazon and you sold it to me for $80. That’s kind of a rip off. I get it, you have a specialty store and need to pay rent. But wow. Also, the Aquatop SP-9 UV was way over priced. You sold it to me for $170 plus tax and I can find the same one online for $70-90 bucks. I don’t think I’ll be going back. I checked your receipt and it says “all sales are final”, so I won’t even bother calling you or going back. I’ll just make a public review so other people are aware of your prices so they can make a better decision. Competition is tough I know, but I also saw somethings you have for sale at your store that you can buy the same exact items at a Petco for about half the price. Long story short man, I was impressed by the knowledge y’all have but the prices need some adjusting. At least for me and many others that have said the same. Nice store and great fish though. Don’t think you’ll see me in there again. I’ll post a picture of my receipt just so it backs up...

It's difficult to articulate what makes this place so nice. Since it's a local fish store, let's start with the fish. This place carries all sorts of lovely fish, salty and fresh. You have your basics that every fish store would carry, guppies and neons and cichlids for freshwater, some coral frags, clownfish, tangs and wrasse in salt, but then you get to the special stuff. Hybrid shovelnose, and super cute snowflake eels, an enormous grouper, and a new surprise every couple of weeks. The best part about the fish isn't even the fish themselves, but rather the display tanks. You won't find a bare bottom tank anywhere among the livestock racks, instead each display is decorated in a different way to help show what can be achieved in a tank. Every fish store has a display or two. Stores where every tank is a display tank, that's pretty cool.

Now obviously, a fish store does tend to be more than fish, and 7 seas does not disappoint. You've got your regular assortment of dry and frozen foods, but they have a wall dedicated to interesting specialty foods, from XXL Sera o-nip tabs to various powder formulas for little shrimp and fry. Plus a whole wing of the store is dedicated to tank setup, with tanks small and huge, and everything else you could possibly need to make sure your fish are healthy and beautiful. The rest...

I’m not being a customer here but don’t want to mess with their rating. Went in today because I thought it would be more fun and educational to go to the rad fish store instead of the internet. We’re moving into an apartment this week and I was shopping for a setup to buy as soon as we were moving in. I was hoping to learn about the different potential setups and options and have someone take the time of day to talk to me. I asked for help and the most involved guy there said pointed to a tank and told me well that one cost $12,000 before returning to ignoring me. So after some googling turns out I can get a pretty rad saltwater set up for less than 12,000$ elsewhere. We had previously been in a week or two before more for fun just to check it out and they also had no time for us to be their customer that time. I didn’t mind it as I was actually tire kicking. But today I was a very serious customer that will now be someone else’s customer. It is a physically cool store. But it was not fun today. I think fish tanks are pretty freakin fun and if Im going to a small town private fish store that should also be fun. Today was worst service and customer care than I would’ve received from the worlds largest...
