    This guy is bigger than my cat

    Little store, big fish! Discus, cichlids, koi, gold fish...small selection of community fish

    Our super aggressive and hungry Flowerhorn! First day in his new home.

    Great little shop for Flowerhorns. Vu was really nice and informative and even though there was a language barrier we were able to get all our questions answered. They have a great selection of beautiful Flowerhorns. Went in 1 week to pick one out and they were gracious enough to hold onto our fish for a week as we had to cycle the water in our new aquarium. By the time we returned to pick up our fish 5 days later they had like 5 new Flowerhorns. Don't forget to bring cash as they don't do credit cards.

    They have Kingkong parrots and lots of cichlid fish species. I spent $130+ here. A review from a North-Cal visiting customer.

    ( 12/2025) This was a family-owned fish store that my dad and I used to go to all the time. The…read moreservice was always great, super friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Any questions you had, they were more than happy to help and explain without rushing you. The fish and supplies were always priced reasonably, which made it easy to keep coming back. Unfortunately, the shop was caught in a fire and had to close, which was really sad to see. I truly hope they're able to reopen someday and come back even stronger. Until then, all we can do is hope and wish them the best.

    They have a large variety of plants! I got anacharis,…read morewisteria, banana plants, water lettuce, java fern on driftwood, Anubias, Alternanthera rosanervig The Javafern wasn't perfect but at other fish shops none were perfect either. Some leaves had holes and crinkled/dying leaves. But it was a really big javafern and I like that it's already attached to the drift wood. It's doing well in my tank and slowly getting healthier :) the javaferns at Nolan's were tiny and even in worst condition lol so I think I still got a good plant. Staff is super knowledgeable on plants and fish. I like how much staff they have, you never have to wait for help there's always someone that is around. Btw the owner is super nice and sweet! She said new inventory every fridays - I came on Friday and they actually had SO many more plants. So it's best to come Friday I guess so there's a bigger selection to chose from :) Btw: My water lettuce all rotted and melted in my tank. Idk what happened !!! The other plants did well I have a light and test my water every day. But I won't blame the store bc they looked good in store.

I've been to tongs, 8888, etc, trust me Nolan's is super clean. I came here for plants, they have a very large selection!!! My first time here was a few days ago - I got Hornwort, bolbitus, and dwarf water lettuce. They were all thriving. Hornwort fluffy and full! Also Thursday's is 25% off plants !! I came again today and brought a friend and she was also so happy we stayed there for like an hour just looking at everything. They have multiple rooms and a lot of tanks. The store seems small but it's not ; there's a lot of variety of fish, plants, and shrimp. Today there were red root floaters, one of the employees actually grew them - they were so healthy and super red I had to buy 3 cups !! I got more dwarf water lettuce bc my axolotl loved hanging in the roots. Staff today was super nice and helpful. There were 2 guys. It was extremely busy when I came like 10 people and they were helping everyone collaboratively. I hate when an employee only focuses on 1 customer who takes forever thinking and observing and there's a ton of ppl waiting. It wasn't like that here, the guy would answer a question and move on to another client. Also when the guy was fishing out some shrimp he was still talking to other customers and answering questions. I loved the vibe here. I will def be returning!!!!!

BTW, this is a very impressive website. But was what even more impressive was our visit to the store. We were immediately greeted with a warm welcome from Eddie. He was informative and passionate about the fish that were in his care. Not only did he help us select a healthy beautiful fish, he went so far as to give us some additional instructions on a handwritten note on how to acclimate our new pet to his new home and how to look for sings of stress. Our drive was about an hour away, so Eddie made sure he packed the fish well and even placed an ice pack in a box to ensure the fish did not over heat as we were in the midst of a heat wave that week. We even discussed feeding, filtration, plants, water quality & treatments. His customer service was full circle. Two weeks after bringing home "Sherman" We were ready to set up a larger 55 gallon tank for both our original fish and our new fish. We were feeling a little out of our comfort zone, so we reached out to Eddie again. Not only did he remember us, he took the time to review the key steps of setting up the larger tank as well as the steps needed to transfer both fish into their new forever home. Once again, Eddie offed key information on how to get the tank ready before the transfer. Once again, he extended the invitation to call him if we need more help when we are ready to add both fish to the new tank. His information was clear and concise which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend King Koi & Goldfish to anyone looking for fancy gold fish. Once again Thank You Eddie, we will be back soon when we are ready to add a couple more fish to the new tank. K.Frank

Long story short, my 3 year old mutt rescue dog is INCREDIBLY picky with food and has had digestive issues his whole life. The one semi-consistent food he's been eating for a year has gone from "okay" to "not anymore" quick. After 3 years of trying every single option with little to no results, you begin to feel defeated, lost, financially suffering, etc. That was me tonight coming in for ANY advice beyond the 50+ things I've already tried. Cody & Derrick (hope I'm spelling his name correctly) were empathetic, SO knowledgeable, and patient. They both heard out what I've tried, what results I'm hoping for, etc. and never once did either of them give the sense that they either didn't believe my exhausted efforts and/or weren't equally as invested in offering/workshopping new potential routes for my dog. Any pet parent who will do anything for their baby yet yields little progress knows how devastating this can feel, so walking out of the store tonight I had so many informed options (a Plan A, B, AND C for the next few weeks) that gave me a genuine sense of hope I haven't felt in a while. I am moved by people like Derrick & Cody who care about people's pets like their own. So, beyond offering a million amazing products at a great price, they offered knowledge and genuine compassion--which, to me, makes me the most loyal of customers.
