About
Tucked into the back of a Westminster strip mall, Fish Warehouse is a family-run freshwater fish store that has earned a devoted Orange County following the old-fashioned way: healthy stock, honest prices, and owners who clearly love the hobby. The shop is run by Kiem (also known as Ken) alongside his mother, a sweet older woman regulars describe climbing up to net whatever fish you point at. Most days you'll find one or both of them ready to talk fish.
The heart of the store is freshwater livestock, with a longtime reputation for goldfish, koi, and exotic bettas. Goldfish keepers single out the telescopes and other fancy varieties, while pond owners come for the koi for sale in Westminster, CA at prices that consistently undercut the bigger shops. Recent visitors have also picked up shrimp and gotten food advice straight from the owner, who is happy to spend time matching fish to your setup.
One regular notes fresh stock arrives early each week, so the tanks are worth checking often if you're hunting something specific. Beyond the livestock, Fish Warehouse stocks a wide variety of tanks, aquarium decorations, and accessories available in Westminster, CA, all priced to move and often open to a little negotiation. This is not a polished, Instagram-ready showroom — it can feel cluttered, and the focus is squarely on value and selection rather than presentation.
Note that the shop does not carry live plants, and payment is cash, Zelle, or Venmo only, so come prepared. A couple of practical tips from longtime customers: Google's posted hours aren't always reliable, and Kiem isn't on-site every hour, so timing your visit when he's in gets you the best guidance. For Westminster-area fishkeepers after affordable, healthy freshwater fish and beautiful big specimens from a family that genuinely cares, Fish Warehouse earns its regulars where it counts — right at the tank.

— mark daugherty5.0a month ago“Walking into this store was like walking into a horror movie. Disgusting, filthy tanks line the walls, the stench is unbearable. Seemed the only person there was a woman who was atleast 85 and could not be taking care of this magnitude of Live Animals. They should add this to the back rooms. Please do not ever come here unless you like fish torture”

We had a great time there. Bought a few fishes, already planning what to get next time. Great variety of aquarium decorations. No live plans. They don’t take credit cards.
