Warren Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Surfers has a few really good ones. Aquariums in Paradise. AAA Aquariums There are some more but I can't remember the names. Aquariums in Paradise is out the back of Southport. There are 4 aquarium shops all very close to each other in that area and all are excellent. AAA Aquariums has very good fish but they are very expensive and the owner is ... well best not comment. The only aquarium shop I know of in Syndey is about 500m up the main road in Manly. Haven't spent enough time in Brisbane (not working) to find any shops. You're not going to Melbourne huh, there's some really excellent aquarium shops there... so does Perth.

There are many decent shops in Sydney. GOOGLE is your friend. > You're not going to Melbourne huh, there's some really excellent > aquarium shops there... Boronia... > ... so does Perth. I didn't think all that much of the shops in Perth. Sydney is the place to go, although Melbourne has a lot going for it too. There are usually killies to be seen in the shop out at Parramata, which was the last shop I saw, back in 2000. Must go overseas again sometime soon... Andrew.

Warren Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Me too. Worst problem is seeing all the great fish we don't have here and not being able to bring any back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Boronia Aquarium apparently has 200 tanks... could be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegasus Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 So it is he he... but might be worth the diversion :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGilchrist Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Not a shop, but the Sydney aquarium in Darling Harbor is worth a look. The reef section is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 There is an Aquarium in Manly too, can't remember it's name. It's pretty good too. I'll vouch for the Sydney Aquarium too, - its really good. If you are going north of Brisbane (up the Sunshine Coast), about half way to Noosa is a very good Public Aquarium too. Here is the address info for the 2 places I've still got cards from: Aquariums in Paradise 27-28 Warehouse Rd off (The Brickworks) Ferry Rd Southport Ph 5591 7311 Aquariums in Paradise is round the back of the main warehouse and can't bee seen from the road (Ferry Rd) On your way to Ferry Rd, there are several other Aquarium Shops. If you approach Ferry Rd from the Road next to Australia Fair. This takes you directly to Ferry Rd. There is a pretty good Aquarium shop about half way down. Between Ferry Rd and Warehouse Rd there are a couple of small side streets. There are a couple of Aquarium shops there too. Aquarium World (someone stolen the name of our magazine!) 3 Pittwater Rd (on the corner of Pitwater Rd and Raglan St) Manly Ph 9977 1758 Open 7 Days Have fun! Watch out for speed camera's!
