theres a few

Rayonne aquarium- resivor (good cichlid/tetra/discus)

All aquarium- (near dandenong i think) best collection of cichlids ive ever seen

fishy business- black burn (nice sw stuff good quality cichlid stock and the guy will talk till hes blue in the face)

amazing amazon (springvale rd) realy good stuff but way too expensive, worth a look tho


all aquarium is easily the best

when you get here make sure you have breakfast at brunetti's on farady st carlton! best cakes and coffe ever!

anyways i think im doing the oppiste to you mate. im headed to penrith.

whats the low down on fish shops there?

and tll me a little about penrith if you could!

Cheers mate and best of luck

Where in Melb are you moving to?

I agree that Rayonne is a good shop. I also like Regency Aquarium in Croydon and Boronia Aquarium in Boronia.

I agree with Lindy what part of Melbourne? (Melb is considered the CBD) I can travel from 2klm -75klm depending on what I am looking for. I can tell you for sure I pass many on the way and I would not even stop the car to have a look.

I live on the Mornington Peninsula it is 75+klm south of Melb

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

african_man this is a fair way from Penrith but you HAVE to go to Rockdale Aquarium in Southern Sydney. This place has it all. It's directly opposite Rockdale plaza. Looks like a small shop when you see the place on the outside but inside its an fish lovers dream.
