I stopped by today and picked up a couple frags. Last time I was there (2 years ago) I was a bit disappointed but not this time. He doesn't have that many sps frags but im sure the selection will grow as time goes by if he keeps it up.

I talked to Peter and he seemed like a cool guy. He gave me a discount without even asking for one also. I also told him about this site, maybe we will see him sponsoring SCR soon.

What are you basing this on? If you went there several times, and saw them ripping people off, why the f would you shop there? And if you have only been there once and you were ripped off, how can you say that they tend to rip off customers. Just sayin...
I was posting for newbies that go to stores a lot of stores do not give receipts n if your not sure they'll take advantage of them. N I can say that because it has happened more then once at more then one store. I don't spend $25-50 at stores I only go to stores if I need to buy a lot of items do you ever ask for a receipt

Thanks for sharing your story. When you came back and returned everything, did the guy asked why which I am sure any one would. Of course you told him the $100 thing right?
How did it go after that???? It could be a mistake, but how he responded to the situation is what I am interested in.

It is really hard to make a $100 mistake being that it was added at the end of all my other purchases n his taxes are separate he just said he missed it lol it's kind of hard to miss adding a extra $100

Hello everyone. My name is Peter and I am the owner of CK fish world. Thanks Juan for bringing this post to my attention.

I wanted to respond Chris g's posts. In no way did I overcharged you on purpose. It was a honest mistake and I refunded you 100 and I apoligized that night and I do so again. My customers that know me that I would not have done this on purpose.

I also wanted to thank everyone else that has spoke highly of me and my store. We really appreciate your business and will always try our hardest to give the best service and prices around. We are constantly looking for better ways to improve our business.

CK Fish World is the best in SGV hands down. Tanks are super clean and pretty good variety. I used to go there just for my planted tanks, which are sooooooo much easier to take care of. When I got my salt tank I went to all the stores in SGV and this one is the best. Others I went to were either shady guys trying to rip off a noob, tanks full of algae, tiny selection, overpriced , or not helpful. This is my main store.
Thanks Mariano!!! Shout out to my SCAPE members.. I think u caught the saltwater bug

First time to fish world I notice few thing.

Tank clean
Some Saltwater fish is Over price....
Cheap Frag, but watch out (Bubble Algae in their cheap tank.) I bought a Acan from them, and notice it got bubble algae on the pug.

Other than that, nice store.

I have been going here for years. they have recently done some great remodels. All the staff are helpful and always answer questions. Peter is a cool cat and I cant see him doing that on purpose...

My wife travels all the way out there for her hair stylist which is right across from them. Probably next time I need to tag along and check them out!

I just went there today, I feel bad for the coral... Need to go on day they get the shipment in... if not, they'll be dead in a week. Their main display on the right is looking no bueno. As far as fish, they seem ok.

That one that was pretty nice in Upland closed. Total fish and Pet in Monterey Park closed. Fish USA in Glendora closed (where I used to get my fish). Some other stores remain open despite how crappy they are. lol
Total Fish and Pet didn't close down. He is in Alhabra now, off Valley and Garfield
