Liberty & Fish

im not sure what time it is they open at but i waited a while it was around 11am as i saw the doors open they have a large variaty of goldfish from orandas, red caps, telescope, ryukin, ranchu, and black moor, if i ever upgrade my tank i plan to go back and pick up some more goldfish

Small fish store, not too much to offer.

I came here knowing how horrible the place is. I wanted to save one of the baby bunnies and raise it, as they need bottle feeding (they’re way too young) I was happy that they don’t sell bunnies anymore, or ducks. There are still chicks though, and I plan on going back and saving two. Half of them looked like they were dying. No water for them either.

Wow, walked in! I hear pigeons cooing, finches and baby chicks.
I came to get tiny meal worms and turtle food for the illegal baby turtle I have at home. They had the turtle food but not the tiny meal worms. Only had huge red meal worms only.
Very small space but packed with all kinds of interesting creature. Amazingly it didn’t smell at all.
Cash only but no tax..

First of this is probably going to be the nastiest review I have written so far so reader beware, I will only refrain from using vulgar language because I don’t want my review erased.
Starting off the the lady who is rude short tempered and has no knowledge what so ever about half the pets that she has, she was as useful as pocket lint and as rude as they come. Had I not traveled 30 min to come buy some chicks I would have thrown a tantrum and left then and there.
Second they don’t accept credit card which automatically makes them loose one star, not that I would give them more than one to begin with but bring cash if you want anything from his repugnant place!
Then when I go to pay she gives off this look of disdain because apparently I had the audacity to hand her my credit card (foolish me for thinking a place as disgusting as this would take credit cards)
Also the guy working is as useless as pocket lint, and doesn’t even know how to distinguish a make from a female chick.(sorry for even asking if you could distinguish them, yet again foolish me)
In conclusion this place doesn’t even deserve a star!
After this review I’m going to report this business to the Los Angeles Health department for the condition that they keep this place and the animals!

Small, not a big selection, same fish I could find everywhere else. I guess maybe the FHs might be of interest if you’re into them, but even then, I don’t think they’re that special

This is an unassuming little shop at the corner of N Broadway and Ord (if I’m not wrong). Los Angeles’ «Chinatown» begins at this corner from the South end. The shop is small. It has some birds, fish and other pets. I went there on a referral for a small inexpensive fish tank. I needed one on account I bought a pair of small Cuban import Green Turtles and I wanted a bigger habitat for them. If only out of curiosity, stop by. Who knows? You may see something you want!

Liberty Aquarium Fish & Pet Shop is a very small location with some birds, as well as fish, mainly tropical fish, but unfortunately not a huge diverse selection… a few parrot fish, flower horn chichlids, discus, fancy goldfish, then pretty much a sprinkling of other stuff. Petsmart has a larger tropical fish selection
I’m accustomed to larger fish stores, and those up in Northern California the San Francisco Bay Area is legendary for the Chinese owned Fish Stores in the Richmond District and Chinatown for both prices and selection. Much like a lot of things when comparing So Cal to Nor Cal, it’s a tad lackluster.
It’s a bit crowded and antiquated inside too, so needs an internal face lift to keep it a bit more clean and organized.
I’d love to see ‘em offer a wider selection of fishes, but that may require either a bigger location or a costly renovation.
I am ISO not a good, but a GREAT tropical fish store in So Cal that merges unique selection, healthy inventory (I’ve found places where they have a shared water irrigation filtration system often have less sturdy fishes), and pricing.

I don’t understand how this place is still in business. This is the most disgusting, inhumane pet shop i’ve ever witnessed.
There are fish dead and floating in nasty, filthy tanks, mutant rabbits living in fish tanks that haven’t been cleaned in years with no food or hay or water, and baby chickens stuffed into a fish tank so small, they don’t have space to walk around.
Do not support this pet store! I have spent a lot of time trying to get an organization aware so they can take them down, but nothing seems to work. I would like to personably take more action, but I don’t know what else to do.
Please just do not support this place. It is a house of horrors, as someone on here had previously stated. That is the only way to accurately describe what is happening here.
I have spent HOURS literally just trying to get some kind of animal rights organization to come by and do something about this place, but no one seems to answer their phone, let alone take action.
If anyone else is interested in helping out these poor animals, please send me a private message and let’s get something going.

Not to many pets nor supplies. Was looking to purchase chicks to feed my snake but did not have any cash on me. They do not accept any type of credit or debit cards. Baby chicks were a good price starting at 3.50.

I’ve been visiting this place since I was a kid. The highlight of my trip to China Town. Yes, the animal cages sometimes don’t look that good. I’d rather they don’t sell bunnies or chicks, but the other animals are doing pretty well. The fish are generally extraordinarily healthy and gorgeous varieties. You won’t find these quality koi at PETCO, Petsmart, or Walmart. Our koi like the food from here and it’s so much cheaper than the Staple Pond Feed from Hikari (that they don’t even like).

Mostly fish here… and very sad looking fish to be more exact. The store and tanks doesn’t look very clean or well maintained. We even spotted some dead fishes floating at the surface of some tanks.
Want to know what’s cool though?! You can get a BABY CHICK FOR $ 3.50!!! That is cheaper than getting a spicy chicken sandwich. That is beside the point I’m making. I hope these baby chicks go to good homes and are not turned into dinner. $ 3.50 is a great deal for a pet though.

I agree with Hector, bought a rabbit to rescue on 9÷29÷12, it was catatonic and in shock. Over the course of a couple of days, the rabbit became so animated and happy. It dies a horrible death on 10÷6÷12 of the typical disease that runs rampant in these filthy inhumane pet shops.
On weekends young chicks are on the sidewalk in a filthy cage in full sun.
This store should be closed down.

Nice selection of giant gouramis, beautiful discus and flowerhorns.

I don’t know about the fish, but in terms of the birds and rabbits, I don’t think so.
Don’t be deceived by the cuteness and miniature size of the rabbits. You can tell from the fact that their eyes are still squinting that they’re not even two weeks old, and rabbits need their mothers’ milk until at least five weeks of age. It’s pretty obvious that there’s no adult female nurturing these babies and keeping them warm. They’re always huddled together because they’re not old enough to produce enough heat to stay warm. If you purchase one of these bunnies, don’t be surprised if it dies in a few days from malnutrition or lack of warmth.
Another reason you know these rabbits aren’t well taken care of is that you’ll see them eating small amounts of lettuce. Rabbits rely on an unlimited supply of hay for their diet, which you won’t even see in those fish tanks (yes, those rabbits are living in fish tanks). Romaine lettuce can only be fed to adult rabbits, because a young rabbits stomach is too weak to handle it.
The final sign that one can tell these rabbits are sick is that there’s no poo in their habitat! Lots of poo is the sign of a healthy rabbit, whereas diarrhea or lack of poo means serious illness. You can tell from how gunk all over the glass that they don’t clean these «cages» very often, so I doubt they clean out poo often either. I tend to visit in the afternoon, when they should have done quite a bit of pooping if they started out with a clean cage in the morning, but every time I look, there’s none to be seen.
As for the birds, I wouldn’t get one from here. An active bird is a healthy bird, but these just stand on the perch looking depressed. A depressed bird will also screech, which I have also witnessed from one of their cockatiels. Their cages are smaller yet more crowded than the ones at Petsmart, which is already pushing it.
Lastly, they don’t even sell rabbit or bird supplies! If they don’t even sell the supplies necessary to take care these pets, what do you think they’re using to provide for them?

This place is the size of a large walk-​in closet strategically jammed with fresh water fish tanks, wabbits, baby chickens, reptiles, and birds. I love it; reminded me of the Wan Chai street market in Hong Kong. The teenage kid with the Fu Manchu working there knows his sh! t! I believe he and his mother run the business.
I’m an avid fish hobbyist and I was really impressed with his tanks. The water quality was excellent and the fish were not stressed! The selection is extremely limited but they have a nice variety of African Cichlids, Discus and Flower Horns.
He has the healthiest Discus I have seen in the states. The Discus is a social fish and lives in large groups in their native waters, and has a very advanced social behavior; they are one of the few real schooling cichlids. They need the social interaction to develop their character to its best potential. (

There small selection of Flower Horn Fish is quite impressive too. The Flower Horn is a hybrid fish from the result of cross breeding various species. The Flower Horn is my second favorite cichlid behind the Red Devil. FH are very territorial and very aggressive. They usually will not tolerate other fish.

This place will not win any awards for appearance but the fish are healthy. I cannot speak for Bugs Bunny and Tweety Bird locked-​up in those wood cages on the bottom of the floor, under the reptile tanks… but it seems to work.

No salt water fish!
Nice Shop

Liberty Fish and Pet Shop has a neat selection of birds. From standard parakeets to pidgeons. Their selection of fish is good. Actually for such a cramped (really cramped) store, their choices are nice. So why three stars? Prices and cash only.
There was a time when they actually took more than cash… but it’s changed. So, if you want the $ 150.00 wooden bird cage (some are real pretty) — hand over a Ben Franklin and a Ulysses Grant. Additionally their prices are a bit high for common items… pet food. On the other hand, for the ducks, pidgeons and the fish… not too bad. Too bad about the cash only part.
