Acuario Tropical de CB

Experiencia fantástica: I had great visit to the new CB’s this weekend! New location is incredible, spotless tanks and lots of variety. I am just getting back into the hobby. I received great customer service. I purchased this clown pleco for my 29 gallon planted freshwater tank. He seems to be settling in. I’m excited to return and see the new location get all stocked up.

Experiencia positiva: Very helpful staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Best aquarium store in Portland area. What you get here is great service and great advice. Travis only sells product that he believes in. His 30 years in this business is what saltwater, reef keepers, and freshwater hobbyists really need. Watch all the YouTube videos for background information that you want, but listen to only what Travis tells you. A winning knowledgable experienced formula that will make you a great success.

Experiencia fantástica: They are the best!!! They helped me out of an emergency koi pond catastrophe! Very helpful! Thank you so much!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Love this store good people

Experiencia fantástica: Nice fish store fair prices, they are moving down the street to a better store next month can't wait! Very nice and helpful owner! Thanks!

Experiencia positiva: Had a few beautiful Amazon sword plants. He is also moving in about a month right off 181 and division. In about a month I will definitely be back to check out the new location.

Experiencia fantástica: The guy working in there is nice and helpful a little bit on edge because bums randomly walk in but I can understand they have what I need and it's a smooth transaction

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of fresh and salt water fish. Lots of great aquarium supplies for true enthusiasts!

Experiencia fantástica: Healthy fish friendly knowledgeable staff

Experiencia positiva: Not much to choose from

Experiencia negativa: Worst store ever, will never return. Talking shit about other stores is very rude!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful selection of salt and fresh water fish. We respected how the owner only sells Discus to ppl who know how to care for them. He cares about their future.

Experiencia fantástica: Do you take cash for aquariums and fish

Experiencia fantástica: They have helpful advice for maintaining the salt water fish tanks.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing customer service! They helped load everything I bought into the car, they cut the tank lid for me to fit my filter, they were overall really kind, helpful and funny! Also very informative to make sure our fish live a long and healthy life! Definitely going back for more later!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful and very knowledgeable.

Experiencia positiva: Advertises African cichlids but only discus and saltwater available. Otherwise a nice store and owner seemed cool.

Experiencia fantástica: Plentiful fish and friendly staff! Five stars!

Experiencia fantástica: Travis was super helpful. Accommodated us with all the fish, products and more importantly the info we needed to our family's fish adventure. Support local businesses like this.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place the owner always takes the time to talk to me and help me with any issues

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable freindly staff. Thanks for being there. I can see it ain't easy. Fight on.

Experiencia positiva: Unique fish. And great staff. The girl who helped me was very informative and didn't make me feel annoying asking a bunch of questions.

Experiencia positiva: Iv purchased freshwater fish here years ago that are still healthy today. Also some redlegs crabs in the recent months. 100% success rate. These two visit had different people working. Unfortunately had to bring my 5 to a 4 on my third visit. My last visit I felt like I was being either G checked , Gate kept, or maybe he was just trying to upsell. I was told incorrect information possibly to spend more. It felt just bizzare and not enjoyable. Take my time without being followed around and or questioned like im throwing a fish I'm a coke bottle.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. Great stock. Good prices. Discount when you buy in bulk.

Experiencia positiva: Friendly place, had everything I need.

Experiencia fantástica: Good prices, good tanks , good supplies of pretty much everything you need. Salt and freshwater

Experiencia negativa: There are far better places to acquire fish and supplies.

Experiencia fantástica: I've gotten three rummy nose tetras from here as well as some hardscape materials and a sponge filter + air pump for my freshwater tanks and I've had good experiences each time. One of the tetras died before I got home (and my house is only a 15 minute drive away from the store at the most, more like 10 minutes realistically), but honestly, I know that rummy noses are fragile tetras so I don't blame the store. I figure if it was something on their end, all of them would've bit the dust in that time frame instead of just the one. The hardscape materials I've picked up have been exactly what I've been looking for and I appreciated the suggestion of the sponge filter for my red claw crab tank instead of using a traditional HOB. I will say that the air pump noise kind of drives me insane, but that's a me problem to figure out and not a store problem - my crabs love the bubbles from the sponge filter so honestly, the store nailed it with the suggestion. I've attached photos of the hardscape materials I got from CB's just to show how top notch they are though. I honestly haven't found "showcase" pieces at prices this good ANYWHERE, including online. I will say that CB's definitely feels like more of a saltwater focused store, but they still do have a good selection for freshwater tanks, and I'll definitely be frequenting them when I eventually get a saltwater setup rustled together for sure.

Experiencia fantástica: Went in with the purpose of educating myself as a new fish owner, they were very knowledgeable and attentive to me. I ended up buying my aquarium from there and plan to go back when I'm ready to get my fish! It's a bit further away from me, but absolutely worth the drive.

Experiencia fantástica: Great store. Live the variety a d the knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Alot of fish in one tiny place. Loved walking through with my husband. Tanks are very lovely.

Experiencia fantástica: The owners absolutely amazing walk me through how to test my tank, all-around great experience

Experiencia fantástica: Small store. Great service. These folks know their stuff.

Experiencia fantástica: Very good customer service they have a lot of experience with saltwater fish and they answered all questions ... very good variety of fish

Experiencia fantástica: Always helpful. Nice selection of healthy fish. Limited hours so check ahead.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing store extremely helpful

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful to this novice, lots of good information. Fish selection was fine. Lots of accessories and supplies. Great place

Experiencia fantástica: So beautiful love the animallls!

Experiencia fantástica: always friendly and helpful

Experiencia fantástica: I was so pleasantly surprised that this aquarium store was so humane to their fish, all looked healthy and not too overcrowded! We went in with low expectations and were blown out of the water! ;)

Experiencia fantástica: Always a fun place to look around. I wanna buy something when I get the placement for and save the money up to buy from them. It's a New Begining when that happens.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is super knowledgeable. Especially when it comes to Reef care. Travis and Paul are definitely world class. If you are local to the Portland OR area definitely stop inn.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a special place

Experiencia fantástica: Es muy rápido la atención y encuentra todo sobre jardín

Experiencia positiva: Esta bien

Experiencia fantástica: Love it

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful store with very knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Neat little fish store! They have both freshwater and saltwater fish along with assorted tanks and accessories. Staff seemed friendly and i didn't get any bad vibes from the place!

Experiencia fantástica: I love the gal that helped me. I wish I knew her name. But she gave me a couple shrimp while trying to help someone on the phone. I thought I could multi-task but this gal could help two of us at the same time. Good job.

Experiencia fantástica: This place has some cool fish! Very helpful staff as well. I love coming here!

Experiencia fantástica: Travis has been excellent to work with! He performs excellent maintenance on our tank, gives great advice and delivers a quality, well-rounded service. He's also fun to talk to! Thank you for working so hard to keep our fish happy!

Experiencia fantástica: They have a lot of knowledge about each type of fish so that I could make educated decisions on what fish would be best for my situation.

Experiencia fantástica: Paul is super sweet. I have anxiety and he made me feel comfy, was patient & helped me set up my new saltwater tank.

Experiencia fantástica: Love going here. Absolutely trust their advice. They are my go to

Experiencia fantástica: Small shops with cool workers are hard to find, normally with just one person they are in 100 different directions not only is the man running a business but he is also taking care of live animals AND balancing salt water and fresh water tanks. Great selection and some of the most beautiful Discus I’ve seen, I only bought little stuff but even while the man (idk if he’s the owner) was on the phone helping someone he still made sure I was ok and didn’t have questions. Awesome little atmosphere too with some cool equipment. I’d suggest this place to anyone.

Experiencia negativa: Horrible customer service.. You will not feel welcome here. Don't even waste your time. Barely a fish selection. Go visit a better location with friendlier staff.

Experiencia positiva: Beautiful tanks, well cared for with a large selection of fish, both fresh water and salt water. We were acknowledged and offered assistance from the owner who offered to answer any questions we might have. No fish was bought this visit, but we have plans to return within the week to pick up 2 or 3 new members for our aquarium family..

Experiencia fantástica: Small hole in the wall type place, but obviously well cared for and some great selection. I don't live anywhere near them but I'll definitely stop in when I'm in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: Have bought around 15 or 20 freshwater fish from this place which have all been healthy.

Experiencia fantástica: Just moved to the area and went to get some new guys for the tank. Walked in and the guy working greeted us with a smile. The store was well kept up and the fish were healthy. Overall great service and price! Will be back again.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a real aquarium pet store. It's dark so you can really see the fish and staff is really knowledgeable about their hobby.

Experiencia fantástica: I’d have to say this couldn’t be in a better location for me! Wish the business hours were open later, but both the gentleman working here are always so helpful! This is my fav fish & supplies store, for sure!

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great experience here. Very knowledgeable owner and healthy fish. I wanted to try an independent tropical fish store after previously using a national chain. The variety and quality of the fish and service is dramatically better here. I will definitely be coming back.

Experiencia positiva: Great place I get all my stuff from there will go back

Experiencia fantástica: Nice place with a huge selection of clownfish. This place is clean and organized.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best local fish shops in PDX, always friendly staff and the fish seem healthy and taken care of.

Experiencia fantástica: We love going here. They always have healthy looking tanks which we love to see. They are always so great & helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice shop, decent prices on fish and corals. Well stocked and good hours.

Experiencia fantástica: Owners knows his fish! Incredibly helpful helping us find what we needed. He said he's been at this for 27 years. I highly recommend this place!

Experiencia fantástica: I love seeing the passion that the owner has for these fish. He is so knowledgeable about fish and is definitely there to help you have the most successful tank around! Love that I can ask him questions without feeling judged for being an amateur. 11/10 Would Recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Great service and very knowledgeable. Definitely going back

Experiencia negativa: Bought several fish and plecos from them. While so far the rest are doing good, the most expensive fish I got that were $45 for 3 and all of them have died within a two day span. All of my water levels are stable and healthy. No reason fish should have died. Thankfully I had them in a hospital tank so no issues with my current fish. Should have walked out as soon as I saw how many dead fish were in the bottom of the tanks there. Only reason I’d ever go back is possibly for some live coral, other than that I’d avoid this place or have a hospital tank and be prepared to lose some of the fish

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. The store was clean and well stpcked

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I always come get my RO water here for my plants! The owners are awesome and I'm glad to live so close!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome store great recommendations even provided me with a free Beta after mine died after being in the hospital for 4 weeks in could not take care of him wonderful people

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection awesome Fish!

Experiencia fantástica: The owner is always really kind and knowledgeable. He prioritizes the safety of the fish over sales which is something large cooperations like PetCo dont do. Highly recommend this shop any day.

Experiencia positiva: Great selection!

Experiencia fantástica: It's beautiful set up displays.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent staff have all your aquarium needs whether salt water or freshwater high quality healthy fish always available

Experiencia fantástica: Super informative, good prices, friendly staff, and a very clean shop with healthy livestock. What a gem, ill be back for sure!

Experiencia negativa: Over priced and Travis the owner is flat out rude will never shop there again

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing and helpful staff every time ive gone in. Very healthy fish, large selection of both fresh and salt water fish.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly and helpful

Experiencia fantástica: These people are knowledgeable and have any fish, or fish products u will need.

Experiencia fantástica: Great shop!

Experiencia positiva: Great display tanks, wonderful specimen fish.

Experiencia fantástica: I am fairly new to the aquarium world and went in with a lot of questions. The person working there was so incredibly helpful. Not only did I get exactly what I needed, he also helped set up the tubing and explained what I needed to do for setup. Such a great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent staff, excellent selection, excellent store. The staff is very knowledgeable, and it seems as though the owner has decades of fish keeping experience. This is where I'll get all my fish from now on.

Experiencia fantástica: Couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable and friendly fish store. Fabulous fish to choose from

Experiencia fantástica: I was short ten dollars on getting medicine for my fish and the owner let me get it anyways and to pay him later. Very passionate about the hobby and great prices, I won't ship anywhere else because the good experience and great customer service.

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of both salt water fresh water fish to choose from. Place and thanks are clean and staff was friendly and helpful. Also has some of the best Discus fish in town.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is fantastic! Great selection and prices. The tanks are well maintained and the fish are healthy. I Have bought fish 3 different times now and they are all beautiful and nothing like what you see at big box stores. Super friendly crew and very knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t believe how clean this place is. This is the nicest aquarium shop I think I’ve seen. Great variety of salt water and freshwater fish. this is my new store, the parking is a little tight, but well worth the trouble. keep up the good work!

Experiencia fantástica: So far I have been really happy with my service here, it was easy to navigate around the store and the guy who works here was helpful in answering questions. I ended up getting three guppy's and a catfish. He was nice enough to give me one guppy as a "Christmas present" unfortunately on the second day the cats fish died. I brought him back into the store to see if maybe it was something I had done. We tested the water I brought in with the fish to find out I needed to work on balancing out some of the Ph and things in my tank. He was super helpful and tested some water from one of his own tanks so I could see the side by side and compare. He set me up with the correct additives and said to come back in a few days to test again and that he could help me out with a new fish. I followed his instructions and things have been good so far. I need to still bring water back for testing but so far so good. One thing I did when I got back was look up the water treatments he has sold me to compare price. I was shocked the find out that his prices were actually CHEAPER than online which is crazy to find anywhere!! Hope to go back shortly and I won't hesitate to take advise or buy new products from them

Experiencia fantástica: Went in over the weekend and had a lot of questions. Travis was very knowledgeable and recommended a few options. Nice inventory and selection. Made r purchase and look forward to returning to fill the new tank.

Experiencia fantástica: Update: Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for corals or fish. I’ve been searching for a hawk fish and found one finally at CB’s he was a little stressed after being caught and instead of selling me a stressed out fish that probably wouldn’t make it home he will hold him for me till tomorrow to see if he does ok. Honesty and integrity go a long ways now days!! We will make the trip from the coast when we want more corals or fish. Still by far one of the cleanest and healthiest fish stores I’ve been too from Newport to Portland!! Every tanks on its own system and they are spotless!! He didn’t have many corals but the ones he did have are beautiful and very healthy!! The store location isn’t the best but I’d gladly drive from Newport again to get coral or fish from CB’s!! All the corals I bought are doing AMAZING! And are by far the fastest growing in my tank!

Experiencia fantástica: I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the tanks and the deep knowledge of the proprietor.
