Riverside, CA
Eliots for Pets on Magnolia, they are looking for a new building.. but they are right by the railroad tracks just north of Central. cool but small fish department, good prices, nice selection of supplies and tanks.
Fish Fantasy on Arlington just east of Van Buren. Looks like two shops.. one with live fish, the other with supplies, equipment and aquariums. Good prices and a great variety of freshwater fish, the equipment part of the shop is kinda high priced, but has stuff that most of the other local shops don't.
Redlands, CA
Pet World on Hariman by Tippecanoe. good selection of fresh and saltwater fish, GREAT prices on equipment and a very good variety and selection of food frozen, freeze dried, live and almost every kind of fish kibble and flake food ever made.
These are the ones we go to the most..
Slightly out of our area are:
Total Tropical Fish in Upland.. On Foothill Ave. west of Euclid. Mostly saltwater and reef tanks, some fresh water fish, good prices but VERY young fish for sale. Lots of WELL KEPT and HEALTHY plants for reasonable prices. Very helpful owner, nice folks.
There is also a nice one in Fontana.. nice folks, clean tanks good prices, excellent selection of large aquariums and freshwater fish, very healthy. And they are interested in the welfare of the fish they sell, i take pics of the fish i bought from them in once in awhile to show them. i don't know the name of the store, but they are on Sierra right across from Kaiser.
