30y Male Nth Beaches

I get my fish Brookvale and Balgowlah LFS

For those Sydneysiders I have heard lots about Rockdale aquarium but not been there. Please tell me more!!

I be male, 23 and living the good life up in Townsville, North queensland. I got most of my fish from Rossvale Pets and & aquariums (he only deals with fish tho) And the lad that got me into fish, he is a member here, he sold me a Cobalt and gave me a Jewel. I will let him introduce himself.

HAD Zebra plecs, they came thru by accident, and while i was in the store, a guy came in and bought all 6. I dread to know how much he paid!

their discus are incredible tho!

I am interested in other peoples setups, what size tanks do you have, how many and what do you have in them?

I usually get my fish from either Wangaratta pet store, or albury's k-9 catfish

6 zebra plecos...at at least $600 a pop...

All fish get on well except the Krib, who is at present is in a another tank which we call a "sin bin" tank. He is playing up again. Kriby," but, but mum I just don't like them mollys. They eat all the food."
And the Synodontis Catfish ate 14 little male mollys that I put in that tank. They where mutants and wouldn't grow. But still I loved them. Catfish: "but mum I'm a growing boy and I got hungry". (so be aware when putting Synodontis
Eupterus in with fish that can fit into their mouths).

scott,
st.george aquariums(rockdale) is very good the staff are knowledgable (sp?) and they have a wide selection of FW and SW fish. they also have filters,heaters,tanks and accesories.

21 (soon to be 22)/female/Brisbane

I get fish from all over the place - cichlids mostly from local breeders and auctions, but my favourite LFS's are: Stafford Aquarium (great for bettas), Clayfield Aquarium, Annerley Aquarium, and Aquarium Warehouse. I get a lot of my big stuff - filters etc. online.

No one else from tassie?

hey, aussie member here too. 25/m

melbournes west. heres my info:

ve only had the tank about 2 months, it's 18" long one that holds about 17-20 litres of water.

i've always liked aquariums, my dad used to keep a 4 foot tank of
tropicals when i was a kid. it had clown, angel fish it had snails.. we went on a 6 week holiday one year and left the feeding of them to a friend. we came back. they were all dead!

so i wanted to start small, on freshwater fish. as they seem easier to keep then tropicals..

eventually i'd like to upgrade to a tropical tank. but for now. a small freshwater set up will do me.

i have one med shumbunkin (sp?) one small black moore. one large Comet (about 4inches long) one "paradise" fish, one little pink guy.. and a flat black and white triangle shaped one.. as you see i'm not up on the names!

i used to have a little zebra fish, and a goldern moore, but the moore past away. and the little rainbow just disapeared, i think the comet might of eaten him, or her jumped.

thats my 2 cents.

29, male, Brisbane

I have purchased all of my fish and hardware from the everso friendly guys at Clayfield Aquariums - they made my custom tank and have been absolute legends when it comes to kitting out - helps that my budget has included all plants, CO2 and extra lighting of course

Is that in NSW or SA?

Fibaquaria in Fyshwick
- haven't bought anything, but their tanks are so cool!
