Garvey Fish & Pet

I’ve been here a couple of times. They have a great selection of fish. First time I bought a tank and other items for a betta fish I have. Came back for some community fish. Staff there are helpful and friendly. They only deal in cash though. I will come back for some turtles for my tank.

This store has been under new management and it has a new name of Total Fish and Aquarium I believe.
NO MORE of that rude Asian manager. The new manager is Hispanic and is quite friendly. He knows what he is doing and they offer a great selection of fish. There are tropical fish such as cichlids and there are also salt water fish (like the clown fish). There’s also some freshwater fish like Koi’s.
This owner was generous enough to provide me with a free goldfish after I offered to pay full price for it (it was 10 for a dollar). I also donated some of my fish and he gladly accepted them without any troubles.
Will definitely be coming back here again and again!

I will absolutely never go back here.
I think this store is under new management and they’ve been trying to clean up a bit, but they seriously need to work harder because I feel like they’re still a dump.
I’ve gone there twice. The first time was just to check it out, I heard they had a really good selection of corals and at good prices. I feel like they’re focused on higher end corals and frags — the lowest price I found was around 25 for a frag of basic Zoas. They had some good looking LPS, so I decided to keep the store on the shelf for a later day.
I also visited them today — I heard about a sale they had going on with fish and they were offering a Buy One Get One Free special. They posted this two days prior to my visit on a Tuesday without dates to say when it started or ended. I go to the store on Thursday, thinking it was still going on and the employee said that it was over. After 2 weekdays and no notice? That’s some shady business if you ask me. I felt like they baited to go to the store with a sale that may or may not have even happened in the first place. Not to mention that half the fish there looked like they were too week to live thru the week at their store, much less make the trip home.
If a store has me questioning their honesty and integrity, that can never be a good thing. If you’re in the area, save your time and money and go to Sexy Corals in Temple City… or a Petco… anywhere else really as long as it’s not here.

One of the worst fish stored I’ve been to. The tanks are filthy and murky, they have a dead fish in almost every freshwater tank, and mist of their plabts have snails. I will not be returning here.

1 of the best fish store in this area. I can say they have everything that i need for my saltwater aquarium. They knowledgeable and the price is reasonable. The owner is friendly and so nice.
They have so many choices for coral.

This place has a pretty impressive selection of corals. And they’re fairly priced. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much all they really have as far as saltwater is concerned. Very minimal fish selection, supplements and supplies. But I did find a few healthy specimens to add to the collection. The employees were helpful, but I didnt like how they handled the coral. The dude treated the coral how I would’ve treated an ex-​girlfriend: with minimal care and borderline absolute shit. Basically, he pulled the coral out of the water, wrapped it up and put it in an empty bag. Then put barely enough water in the bag for it to stay submerged. Treat me like shit but please take care of my precious corals! Oh yeah, they only take cash, so I had to leave and come back, leaving my coral on the cold, lonely glass counter.

A little clarification, the «pet» part is just «fish» from what I saw. Should just be «Garvey Fish». Was welcomed to the store, offered help quickly, no attitudes. I asked about other animals and they said «no» but were professional enough to politely recommend me to a COMPETITOR down the street for other animals. Big props for polite customer service. So hard to find, ever.

terrible service. there was not even a greeting when i walked in. The guy seems to follow you around the store suspiciously… as if he thinks that i am going to steal or something. I would not come here again. The things they have there are overpriced compared to the areas i normally go to in alhambra.

i always come here when i was younger to check out the fish and just watch them as they swim by. the past few year this place a new owner took over and i don’t know what happen but the section is of the fish is is less than before. also they have add it salt water area. it look kook but I’m always a big fan of fresh water also i notice the koi pond is gone??? and i was so looking forward to seeing it swim but never the less there is always the small fishy swimming around and hiding.
over all this place have a good section of fresh water fish and product
but as far as tank i don’t know what to say about that but if your not sure just ask

The fish store is good sized, clean and organized. There is a large selection of tropical fresh water fish and Kois. The Saltwater section seems be gone now. The prices are pretty good, as I went there to purchase African cichilids which are pretty big and healthy. The cichilids they have here would cost double in most stores.

Garvey Fish and Pet
— Decent size

Service: Definitely like!
A mom and pop shop. The employees are knowledgeable about their products, as well as the fish. Can definitely assist you when you’re in search of the perfect tank, filter, fish and so forth.
Parking: Great!
A couple of parking spots are available on the street in the front. Plenty of parking available inside their lot.
Will definitely be back!

Garvey FISH and PET :
1. Great selection of tropical fish!!!
2. Many Arowanas, Flowerhorns, Cichlids, and other tropical fishes.
3. The have about 6 isles of fish tanks.
4. The prices aren’t that bad at all. Some things are moderate to expensive, while others are very cheap. It’s a great distribution. Overall, it’s worth checking out because of the selection.
5. The fishes are very healthy and energetic.
6. The front counter guy is very helpful.
Overall, I’ve been here a lot. They carry a little more exotic things than your typical fish store. I live a bit far from here so I don’t go as much as I want. But whenever I have free time or I am in the area, I definitely hang out and check out some fishes.
7. They have a little bit of Saltwater fishes and things to choose from too.
