About
Tucked away in West Sacramento, Koi Enterprise feels less like a retail shop and more like a personal tour of a working koi farm. Owned and operated by Anthony and Mona Quintero for over two decades, this family business has built a devoted following among pond keepers across Northern California — and for good reason. Anthony personally selects and imports koi directly from breeders in Japan, and the quality difference is immediately apparent.
Customers rave about the vibrancy of fish like platinum butterfly koi and tamasaba, noting not just superior coloring but even bolder personalities compared to pet store alternatives. " Families bring their kids to wander and learn about the unique traits of different koi varieties, while seasoned hobbyists come to carefully select their next prized addition. The selection is deep — so deep that the hardest part is choosing.
Beyond the fish themselves, Koi Enterprise has developed a proprietary koi food blend that customers credit with noticeably faster growth and richer color development. They stock a full range of pond care products, medications like Min Fin, equipment, and parts — and can quickly order what they don't have on hand. Their online store ships products and fish, though in-person visits are where the experience truly shines.
Pond maintenance is a cornerstone of the business. Anthony handles regular service calls and seasonal pond cleanups, with some customers relying on him for over 25 years. He's known for being transparent about what actually needs to be done — and what doesn't — saving clients unnecessary expense.
Whether it's priming a pump or diagnosing water quality issues, his consultations are thorough and educational. Koi Enterprise is a specialist operation built entirely around the pond hobby, and that singular focus is exactly what makes it exceptional in the West Sacramento area.

I've met with Anthony several times and he was happy to give myself on my son a tour of his koi farm. The customer service I've received via online purchases and in person has been excellent. The koi available to purchase are very high quality koi Anthony personally selected and aquired directly from specific breeders in Japan.
