The store may look shabby on the outside however you should never judge a book by its cover. As soon as you walk in, you’ll be greeted by a small indoor pond and tones of fish in their tanks. They have an enormous amount of fish to choose from and they are all reasonably priced. The fish all look very healthy except for the odd one, however it won’t bother you as you will have many fish to choose from. They also sell other products that are fairly cheap. I got a great deal on some coldwater fish and will definitely recommend this store for anyone wanting to get a new friend for the tank.
Over the past two weeks I have visited about a dozen Aquarium stores from Kellyville to Rooty Hill. Today I went into Aquarama Aquariums & was rapt with the fish I brought & even more so with the service. I spoke with the owner on many different topics from the fish that would suite my tank to my tank set up in general. While most the stores I visited were ok, except for one or two, this store was my favourite. As I said, the owners willingness to answer my questions and give me advice was great, I will definately be making this my regular store.
We were surprised in our first visit and contrary to other shops, it wasn’t just about selling fish. The owner took time to explain the basics of a healthy fish tank and the science behind it. My high school aged kid was mesmerised by this and is now actively involved in maintaining the fish tank. Our kids waited patiently for a few weeks until we tested the water and got the go ahead to add the fishes. I am sure, we will be a regular visitor and will be sharing it with out friends too! Thank you Aquarama! - George Jayaseelan.
I've had to walk out twice now. Owners just talk and talk to the customer they are serving so much that other customers leave! You could interpret that as good service but even the customer they are serving you can see is trying to get away. Good variety of fish but a bit overpriced and if they are talking to someone be prepared to stand around for up to 40 minutes. But they are trying their best and are a wealth of knowledge. A great husband and wife team.
After a decade, I've recently gotten back to the Tropical fishy hobby. I visited Aquarama last week for the first time and Marek was super helpful, knowledgeable and is not afraid to share his experiences. To me that is priceless! The many years servicing the local community near and far goes to show the family run business are doing something excellent! Thank you Marek, I'll be back soon that's for sure!
I have gone to this shop many times over the years however only visited once maybe 2 months ago since I had moved. I've always loved the selection of fish present within the store, however on some items or some fish (not all) the price is a little steep in comparison to some other places I have been. I definately miss the gorgeous Saratoga that used to welcome everyone as they walked in.
One of the few reasons I am sad to be leaving Seven Hills is that I will be too far away to visit Marek at Aquarama very often. He has been fantastic. He sourced for me replacement filter heads for two different filters saving me a heap on buying new canister filters both times. He has spare parts no one else bothers stocking and is always good for a chat. Highly recommend.
Marek is an absolute lifesaver very knowledgeable and honest. I can not thank him enough for his help. I will be a customer for the life of my Axolotl and any other aquatic life I may encounter. If you need aquarium life, advice or supplies Aquarama is the place to go. I can not recommend them more highly they are an absolute gem so grateful for such a great local shop!!
Relatively new comer to the hobby of fish keeping. I must say after frequenting a number of fish stores, I genuinely found Marek at Aquarama by far the best. Marek takes all the time to ensure his customers get the best advice possible. After visiting numerous stores this is by far the best fish shop I have found to date. I highly recommend this store to others.
Hey guys, i started going to this place a month or two back and i have fallen inlove with this aquarium. The man at the place is very nice and knows alot about fish and how to keep them. He loves doing his job and always has a smile on his face. He has beautiful fish and good quailty equipment at very low prices.
Its good to see the Mum and Pa shop still operating , I ho hete for evdrything, the gentleman would not sell me his fish until we get the Nitrate in the water at a good reading, other shops just take your money. I listen to both of them and learn as much as i can. Excellent
Visited for the first time recently. Wonderful variety of fish who all seem very healthy. Was a little busy when we visited as there was only one gentleman serving customers. Very helpful and great service though. Wonderful little family store. Will be going back
Very helping and informative service. Shop keeper is not just interested in selling his products, specially fish. He want you to understand their nature and how they will fit in your tank. He also offer free water test to kepp your water healthy for your fishes.
The staff is very helpful. Gives really good advice on how to take care of a fish and tries it's best to make it healthy. Maria is a wonderful lady who is so kind and helpful. Thank you to the staff for helping me keep my fighting fish healthy.
