Let the number of lizards in the pet store be \( L \).
According to the problem, there are 3 times as many fish as there are lizards. Since there are 9 fish, we can write the equation:
\[
9 = 3L
\]
To find \( L \), divide both sides of the equation by 3:
\[
L = \frac{9}{3} = 3
\]
So, there are **3 lizards** in the pet store.
The correct response is **3**.
