A very nice Fish store offering a pleasant environment and friendly knowledgeable owners. They have a fairly large offering of livestock and dry goods. The store is well maintained and the friendly atmosphere provides an opportunity to browse at your leisure rather than feeling pressured to buy something and get out. If I had to nitpick my only issue would be that the prices for some of the livestock, live coral in particular are not clearly marked. It is understandable with all the different species constantly coming and going I can see how it could be difficult to keep all the labels up to date considering the amount of work it takes to keep a place like that up and running on a daily. Its not much of a problem though as Lance the owner is always happy to chat and will gladly answer any and all questions that you may have, and some you may not., the man is a wealth of knowledge, without having the attitude that is all too common in the hobby anymore. We have a very limited amount of Aquarium supply stores here in the desert, and Ive been to them all. This is by far the best fish store in the desert and the only one I will patronize regularly.,

Ive been in this store multiple times now for my new 60 gallon reef tank and I couldnt be more pleased. Theres another store closer to me but I go out of my way to go to Aquarium Odyssey because their tanks are clean, the owners are friendly and knowledgeable and their prices are great. Ive bought fish, inverts, coral and dry goods from them and everything Ive bought so far the prices have been right on target or even lower than online. Plus then I dont have to pay for shipping. They take the time to talk to you and answer all your questions. Once I even asked the owner if he could get a particular invert in for me and he said that he strongly advised against it because they are very aggressive and could eat my fish. Not everyone would do this. Another store might have just taken my money and let me find out the hard way.

I cannot begin to explain how amazing this store is. Ive set up 3 different tanks now and each one has thrived due to the abundance of knowledge from both owners. Any time we have a question or emergency, we are able to call and receive an answer right away. Even if weve called 100 times that day, neither one hesitates to give a friendly response. What i love is that we can walk in and be greeted by name and both owners can help equally because they remember our tanks so well without even asking. Hands down, best selection ive seen in the desert! No matter what they care about their fish first. I will NEVER go anywhere else. They know what they are doing and wont let you down!

I cant praise the owners of this establishment enough... theyre down to earth and extremely knowledgeable. Their store is well kept, clean, and beautiful. They take very good care of every single fish they have in stock and can answer any question you might have. Whether youre looking for a single fish or a 40 gallon tank full of salt water beauties, Aquarium Odyssey is simply the best fish retailer I have ever been to. I, myself, have had a couple of fish emergencies... and the owners of this establishment have always been there with the right products and the right advice. They are THE fish experts.

Ive been to aquarium stores all over cali and Denver. this place has always felt more inviting and the people are genuine it attracts friendly and the atmosphere and staff really attract friendly hobbyist. This place will get you anything you need if they dont have it in stock their prices have always remained competitive against their rude competitors down the street. Nothing beats Amazon prices but you pay for the convenience and for this little family own operation Im proud to pay the extra 4 or 5 more dollars for a place I want to bring my kids to one day

This is got to be one of the most amazing fish stores Ive ever been in . Arnel and Darleen are the cutest couple. This is a family-run operation and if you have questions about the fish Hobby. Its the place to go. fair priced and always willing to give you advice on something and anything to do with fish. If you want it they can get it for you. And dont forget to ask about the Fish Club. I find this to be one of the old mom and pop stores that I went to when I was a kid. I miss very much. I enjoyed the experience. tell em Roberts sent you

The best fish store in the desert, hands down. They have a great selection of fresh and saltwater fish, including rare and hard-to-find species. They really look after the fish well! Excellent choice of aquarium plants. Knowledgeable staff and reasonable prices.

Great owners. Very friendly and knowledgeable. They where more than happy to assist and and answer any questions I had. And I had many. I love supporting small community family own stores versus big chains. I moved from Long Beach and am so happy I found them.

Dirty tanks and store. Fish did look healthy enough. The sales person had good knowledge. Ive had other people tell me they were trying to charge more to them if they seemed inexperienced. So make sure you research before you go in.

My 11 year old autistic daughter loves this place. Even though we have never spent any money, the owners remember her and are very supportive.
