Purchased 4 days ago and died, pretty sad that All Sales Are Final. I don't know if I can ever go back to a business that doesn't uphold a return policy in a time limit or at least a discount! Called and told me "no, sorry all sales final" I drove kinda far because of the good reviews but no longer going back. Now I'm worried about my other plecco dying then I'll be down $25

New Betta

Local family run business. Great selection of fish and drift wood. Smaller selection of plants but they worked in my aquarium well and ga e several options.

Hygrophila Siamensis

Love coming to Jan's for plants and fish. I always get great customer service. They have a LARGE variety of plants (from foreground to background). They also carry driftwood, rocks, decor, aquasoil, gravel, fertilizers, treatments, root tabs, frozen worms, salt, ocean water, filters, heaters, lamps. These are the beautiful plants I got from them today.

Red Claw Crab

Nice selection, fresh and saltwater fish. I will return to see what is in stock when they resupply. They have bettas all around the store for those looking for cool betta colors. When we were making our selection, the woman helping us recommended we get a different one because the one we chose was acting lethargic when she went to bag him. We appreciated the extra consideration as we had a long drive and I would have been upset if they did not survive the drive. She even put the one we chose in a quarantine tank to monitor him. I felt the consideration for customers was superior than other fish stores I've been to. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking to add quality fish / plants to their tanks at reasonable prices.

Clean store for all your aquarium needs. They have the most beautiful fish & other aquarium inhabitants, so much selection & variety. Nothing dead or sickly looking like lots of other fish stores have been to. All looked healthy & well cared for, active & swimning around-the selection of aquarium life was off the hook phenominal! Only thing I didn't see was sea horses or frogs but I could've possibly missed them there was just SO much to look at. If your an aquarium enthusiast, beginner or a pro, if you never been here really should check it out. Staff was available to answer questions, no hunting an employee down, sea anemones were awesone too. LOVE this store!

We came to look for some fish to possibly replace a few of ours, but ended up not buying anything because we wanted to make sure our tank was more stable, before we added more. The lady who helped us was very sweet. Most of their saltwater tanks only had a few fish, but the freshwater ones had tons. They had some really pretty guppies and even babies! They had some cool fish like black ghost and a black arowana! Their prices for the common fish were comparable to most of the other places we've been to. The store was clean and well organized.

Just got a ten gallon tank and the set up has been entirely from Jan's store. We wanted to give it a natural look with rocks, driftwood, and lot of plants. Compared to other big chain pet stores, Jan's stock looks a lot healthier and at a better price. It also feels good to support a small local business. The staff here are also very friendly and knowledgeable.

I found this place when I started my fresh water fish tank hobby. They have salt water and fresh tank water for sale. If coming for water they do have gallons for sale but SOMETIMES they can run out, not really their fault. *COME PREPARED TO BUY WATER* They are knowledgeable and help you with making sure you find the product or know what product to get. I've gone in a few times now and I have often found them feeding or changing water. They care and provide for the fish.

See all

As an update the poor little two spot didn't make it. We took a chance on him because the two spots are kinda hard to find.

Nolan's Aquarium is my go-to spot for a peaceful lunch break. The shop is calming, the tanks are…read morebeautiful, and every staff member is incredibly attentive and helpful. Every purchase I've made has been top quality. I've tried other places, but Nolan's truly beats them all.

First off I just read Samantha M's review and I'm flabbergasted - this is the CLEANEST pet store in…read moreOC and most definitely there is ZERO smell. 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!!!!!

I've been going to Mystic Koi for the past 7 hours for our koi pond and they are still my number…read moreone place for anything koi related. They import beautiful hand selected koi from various breeders and maintain a high standard for beautiful, healthy koi. They also have great supplies that you cannot find elsewhere (ie, giant buckets for fish, big nets, high quality koi food, medicine, etc). They also check their koi for parasites, illnesses, and help you hand pick any specific breed you might be searching for. The negative reviews for Mystic Koi are mostly complaints about their customer service, nothing about their Koi and supplies. I actually appreciate the staff giving you space. There's nothing worse than walking into a store and being followed by the employees, peppered with stares and questions like "Can I help you?" Often times, ones goes to a specialty Koi store either to shop for something in particular (wherein, you'd go directly to an employee and tell them what you want), or if you are in the mood to browse (wherein, you don't want people constantly asking you if you need something). The only thing I'd recommend for improvement is that they open for more hours, but that is only a recent occurrence because of COVID. They're also family owned, so it is understandable that they are not open 24/7.

I went here because I had no idea what I was doing and wanted some aquatic plants for a garden pond…read moreI put in. I was kind of hoping someone would help me, there were three workers there and I was the only customer. They did greet me and asked what I was looking for so I told them, they pointed me to an outdoor area and said pick what I like then let them know, I was on my own for a while looking at some unmarked plants in vats that said do not touch feeling overwhelmed and ignorant so I left back out the front door, went home, asked an ai chatbot what I needed then did my best to order it all from amazon: pump, plants, filter, little baskets, some kind of straw, and some seeds to plant around the pond, I also ran to Home Depot and got some pea gravel, overall a lot more expensive than I expected but it's a new hobby. I try to make it a point to go to stores in person, especially small businesses, I guess I'm older too so I come from a time when you could find experts to help you at the store vs online and I was kind of looking for that. Anyway 2 stars because I wasn't aggressive about asking for help and they didn't really offer. Lots of cool giant koi there for sale and probably everything else you need as long as you know what you're looking for.
