I have been to the store in Pt Loma, the one off 163 and clairemont mesa east, and this store just blows away the other two in customer service. I did not have to hear about their company is the oldest aquarium service company in all San Diego, and I did not have to deal with over priced fish and fresh water plants, the FISH GUYS in Encinitas are just down to earth and gives you their honest opinions even if it meant they were going to lose a "big sale" Will be back as much as I

Encinitas Tropicals has a new owner and the quality of slat water fish and coral is getting much better.

all their staff is knowlegeable. Beautiful reef tanks and tons or corals and frags. large selection of freshwater fish too, discus, angels and lots of chiclids. started up 2 specialy tanks with the help of their staff and both are thriving! ...

This store is very good and has an excellent selection of salt water fish. They are very helpful and carry many varieties of supplies in addition to the fish. Highly recommend. ...

The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about aquarium products and fish. Their fish and plants are healthy and in great condition and they always have a nice selection. I would recommended this place over any of the general pet stores (Petco, PetSmart, etc) when it comes to fish.‎
