Tropical Haven

Older Caucasian lady very rude, much attitude for no reason. When I first walked in, she looked me up and down, as if I didn’t belong here. She was the only worker that I seen And all I asked was for her, to help me on the pricing of small mealworms for my bearded dragon
And that was so hard for her to do.
Other people may have had better experience at this business, but I no longer will step foot back inside

Incredible selection of fresh and salt water fish. Not everything you see is for sale. Some of the fish are the owners and not for sale. Service can be slow when shopping for fish if multiple people are looking to buy at the same time. Lots to choose from, but you must be patient if you are coming here.

Rude, not helpful older lady working there. Gave my daughter a hard time while she was in the store. I called to talk with manager who is “out of town” for two weeks. So I spoke with the older lady, she was rude to me as well and when she didn’t like what I said, hung up on me. Never going there again!

Get almost all my fish here. If the owner is around you might even get a little magic show.

Don't think they really wanted to help and sell me fish. Only got 2 Cory's sadden no fish in my tank except one. Need to know what to get

This is the best place in Modesto for tropical fish, parakeets, aquarium supplies and pond supplies. They have experts on staff to give you the excellent advice.

Modesto staple! Myself and my 13y/o sidekick, E. S. A.dog, Gomer, go to Tropical Haven for our saltwater fishtanks. But mostly to harass the wonderful staff we've come to know and love! Gomer is treated like royalty, and they put my head on straight when I get twisted from being a beginner aquarist! I honestly can't say enough about how welcoming, helpful, knowledgeable, and caring the staff is! Marie, Jackie, Tim, Saiere (Sorry, my man, i know i flubbed the spelling). Thank you!

My gf and I were having issues keeping fish alive in our fish tank. She tried everything, so we took a sample of water in and asked for advice how to fix the pH. The lady that helped us had an impressive amount of knowledge about fish tanks. She recommended some products an.d tips to fix the issue. We weren't able to get any fish due to the pH issue, but certainly will get them there once our tank is stable.
*for those mentioning that the fish area is dirty with dead fish must only go to high end pet stores. Dead fish are going to happen. It's an aquarium, not a restaurant.
This is the best place to go for fish and aquarium products. Thank you for all of your help!

BEST PET STORE IN THE 209! THEY HAVE PRICES that are sometimes cheaper than amazon! Ridiculous selection of healthy fish! The owner (ted) is very friendly and always willing to teach you something about keeping your fish thriving!

Loved it here best prices and great selection. Jacqueline was very helpful and very knowledgeable. We bought a lot things for my pet turtles and loved how she made us comfortable and explained things. She is definitely management material. I will only come here for now. Thank you so much Jacqueline.

The younger cashier lady was trying to rip me off after tim and the younger worker male told me the baby rose anemone are 29.99. She proceeded to say it was 89.99 she went to the back and asked and still 29.99 that lady is going to be the closing for that store cus its not all that good to begin with besides the prices.

Tropical haven is a cool place to be. I grew up going there and know all the employees names and the owners name. The owner has even taken me and my father fishing several times. This place is highly reliable and I teccommend going there

My first time at tropical haven.
The service is great didn't have any issues.
They have a wide selection of fish from salt water to fresh.
The employees are really laid back and chill.

I didn't have any issues with tropical haven

Very knowledgeable and wide variety of supplies and fish. Excellent place for your fish needs.

Jackie and Tim are so knowledgeable. Any questions I have they know the answer. I'm thankful that they're so close. They were able to test my water for free to make sure everything is okay with my fish water. Man such great customer service and a huge variety of fish to pick from. Glad I found this hidden gem!

This fish palace has three aisles of floor to ceiling tanks with fish ranging from babies to older fish, as well as more rare fish like long finned tetras (see video). Not to mention, the staff are really nice. Lovely place to visit, great fish, and plenty of tank materials in stock
