Randys Fish Palace

I was changing my 135 gal aquarium from fresh to salt. I noticed he keeps his tanks cleaner than most shops. Randy was incredibly helpful. He was more interested in helping me than selling me something. He also helped me match up the right kinds of fish for a «social» environment. I give Randy and his staff the highest recommendation! If you want to get it right, go here and ask for Randy, you’ll see!

Randy and his staff are awesome! I started with a 10 gallon gold fish tank and so far they have helped me work my way up to a 55 gallon with a variety of cichlids. They’ve got my tank put together so well my fish have spawned 3 – 4 times. Next step is Salt Water, and I know they’ll take care of me.

After several more trips to Randy’s I’m convinced that the customer service is second to none. Randy is a great guy who has been very helpful in my transition from freshwater to saltwater. There are a lot of things that make Randy’s store different than the others. I love the fact that Randy has sales and is willing to cut you a deal from time to time even when there isn’t a sale going on.

Very nice and knowledgeable people working there. Family ran business and also helpful. Very clean and healthy tanks. Thanks again Aaron!

Drove to Randy’s today from Modesto after reading reviews and checking out website. Couldn’t wait to walk in the door and see the selection and I was amazed at what they had to offer comparable to other fish stores.
The selection was vast. I went there specifically for a new cichlid and left with 2 beautiful electric blue Jack Dempsey’s, 1 green terror and 2 silver dollars. All of these fish cannot be found in Modesto without special order. The customer service was awesome, very helpful. Very knowledgable about the selection of fish I should add to my existing aquarium. Overall, I am very satisfied and will be a returning customer.

Just got home from our third trip to Randy’s. For Christmas 2014, my boyfriend purchased me a few fish from his store. Since then, we’ve had a few issues with fish not getting along and every time we’ve gone back to Randy’s, he happily helps us out. His prices are reasonable and I’ll continue to highly recommend him for everyone’s aquarium needs.

Easily the epicenter of all your standard/​essential fish hobbyist needs.
Whenever I come here to expect to just get something and go, they always have it and other choices as well so i end up staying for a while.
I went to just get some ghost shrimp to clean my tank and have more life, but they ended up having way more kinds of shrimp. They also showed me a bunch of other tank cleaners like plecos, lobsters, and cories.

Went to Randy’s Fish Palace for the first time yesterday to pick up a hatchet fish & have ordered a few more. Very friendly & welcoming place. The prices are great & very comparable to the chain stores — except that you are shopping local! :o) I prefer shopping at Mom & Pop businesses to keep the $$ in our communities rather than in the pockets of huge national corporations. Randy & his employees are very knowledgeable. This will be my new go-​to fish place! Highly recommend!

Just wanted to say thanks Randy! Hope family is doing good. The nice rock is getting nicer and I just love the fact you are there…

What an awesome place they are so friendly and knowledgeable. It is a fun place to go and just plain watch all the different types of fish they have their. I am always amazed at what they have. My tank set up I got there I enjoy everyday thank you Randy, Maggie, Aaron and all the friendly staff. Nice place to bring your kids to learn about fish.

The cashier lady is rude. Over priced on everything! (fresh & salt water fishes, products & pet food). This place got nothing on TWINS AQUARIUM! If you check out Twins Aquarium, you will never come back to this place.

Everyone was so helpful. We came in, just looking around and after comparing stands and prices with Petco, we ended up coming back and purchasing everything, except sand and two plastic plants. The deals were just too good to pass up. Our little ones had a great time as well. She got to put on the divers helmet and feed the feeder fish as well as the big bass. We can’t wait til our tank matures so we can come back for more fish.

What an AWESOME first time experience we had here. My husband wasn’t quite sure what kind of fish he wanted. All he knew for sure was he didn’t want a tank more than 10 gallons. I requested easy care and clean up. With this being said we walked into Randy’ s after looking in 2 other different pet stores. You can feel the difference as soon as you walk through the doors. Fish fish and more fish. I was in heaven. It felt like a mini aquarium. So many choices and the staff is quite knowledgeable about each fish. We will definitely be returning oh and they test your fish’s water for free. You can tell that this place not only cares about their customers but also about the fish.

Haven’t been to Randy’s in a while. Have to say I am impressed with the new staff. They are knowledgeable and helpful. As we mour the loss of the store’s mascot Marley, it’s nice to see that things are still up and running, customer service orientated. I do shop other locations, but always find myself back at Randy’s.

Pretty good store! Lot’s of deals, and lots of high priced stuff. Most of the customer service is extremely friendly. If they aren’t, just ask for someone! They have a huge collection, and some huge fish to go along with it. If you really need something, they more than likely have it.

I have never had any luck with fish from this store. All died within a week, and I tested my water every time and the parameters were perfect. I think he’s way over priced on fish and products. In strongly disagree with his signs everywhere that say something like, «If you didn’t buy it from Randy’s, you paid too much.»

I came in to get store credit for 2 of my fish as they were getting to big for my tank. I was also shopping for rocks & a castle & a new pump cause I was totally redoing my tank. Randy, the owner, was so helpful & treated us like we’ve known him forever. He gave me a $ 5 credit to get new fish once my tank is set up. He told me to bring in a water sample in a week & he’d test it for me & then I can get more fish for my tank. I recommend this store as my experience was very good. The owner was very knowledgeable & it was a pleasure to shop there.

I used to remember these guys on the corner of pacific. and either lower sac or Thornton but I see now recently their new establishment next to the neighborhood walmart off March lane.
I had an aquarium before during my teenage years.. Believe I bought a mystery snail at the time. and other fish supplies like food and water treatments.
Well now I’m into somewhat aquariums again, as we took home fish from a baby shower our relatives had and at each table was a quart bowl or small bowl with comet fish. Their for my nephew’s amusement. Of course we upgraded to a small tank.
Any I came here recently getting aquarium plants (anachris). I must say the plants are in flawless condition and are just in various fish tank displays with filters running, unlike most pet stores they’re in still bags ¼ with water and IMHO I’m not sure how that would pan out.
So far the plant is growing new sprouts. I might have to do some trimming. I suggest this place as a one stop getting aquarium plants. Secondly their filters are cents cheaper also than other stores. Like their sign says «if you didn’t buy at randys, you’re paying too much» (something like that)

(Long time customer)
Cashier lady didn’t have to come off rude, but of course she did.
Asked her a simple fish food question and she straight up lied about what kind of fish food I should get.
She had no knowledge what so ever about fishes.
Point is she shouldn’t have lied and came off rude. I won’t be coming here for awhile.

Kelly is amazing ! She was the most helpful person I have ever met. My 5 year old son’s fish tank needed more fish so I came here knowing I would pay more but the quality is what your paying for and the service is unmatched.
I will never shop anywhere else. Kelly made me feel at home and even though the store was super busy she took her time making sure I left with everything I wanted and needed.
Thank you to the most professional staff in stockton and the best in the fish business in the Valley.
