The best service I’ve ever had at an aquarium.
Nicest dudes, suuuuuper helpful, and so knowledgeable. Instantly knew everything we needed for certain issues.
Also - Sensational range of local-bred livestock and plants. The experience we just had made us want to come back asap. 🐠 -
Riley
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautifully managed aquarium with an incredible variety of fish. To add, these fish are all in gorgeous condition with decorated, stimulating tanks. Staff really knew what he was talking about and genuinely one of Sydney’s very best fish shops. All of the fish seemed happy and content. They even had an Arowana, which if you’re an enthusiast, is always an awe inspiring sight!
