Choose with the whole setup in mind

Right for you.
Right for your
aquarium.

01 / Space & growth

Consider adult size, swimming behaviour and the space your aquarium provides over the long term.

02 / Compatibility

Check temperament, water conditions and the needs of your existing livestock before choosing an addition.

03 / Local guidance

Bring your aquarium dimensions, current livestock list and setup photos for advice on suitability.

Common
questions.

Quick answers about tropical fish. No question is silly, so if yours isn't here, ask us.

Ask about tropical fish Call (02) 6686 0002

What do tropical fish need?

A heater to keep the water warm and stable, good filtration, and a tank that has been cycled before fish go in. Most tropical community fish are comfortable at around 24–27°C, but check the profile for each species.

Which tropical fish suit beginners?

Many livebearers, tetras, rasboras and Corydoras are hardy, peaceful choices for a first community tank. What suits you depends on your tank size and water, so tell us about your setup.

How many fish can I keep in my tank?

There isn’t one simple rule. It depends on each fish’s adult size and activity, your filtration and how often you maintain the tank. Add fish gradually to a cycled tank, and ask us if you’re unsure.

Can I check what’s in stock before I visit?

Yes. Fresh stock arrives every week and fish can sell quickly, so a listing here doesn’t guarantee a fish is in store today. Call (02) 6686 0002 or send an enquiry and we’ll let you know what’s currently available.
