This is a very dodgy shop, fantastic service until a product they have sold you has an issue, then he tries to rip you off, the I purchased a brand new filter and within five days of purchasing and after having owned an aquarium for eight years the plastic rod that is right up inside of motor snapped whilst in use in my 4 foot aquarium, I was sitting in my chair noticed a loud noise coming from the petworx wxI 1300 model, so I removed the unit from my tank removed the canister section and the impeller came out along with the canister and a small piece of plastic which I realised upon inspection was the rod that is attached to the inside of the motor, the unit cost $37.40, the Asian man who runs the store accused me of tampering with the unit and refused to replace or refund the money, he offered $18 store credit which I did not want, so now I have a broken unit and will be contacting the manufacturer, his advice is bad and I am furious, so I highly recommend you shop elsewhere, thank heaven's for his distributor who replaced the broken part. Big thank you to them, although he even had the audacity to call them before I could.

Diverse. That probably the word. Freshwater *wide range of stock for nano to monster sized tanks *rocks, woods, various sized of tanks, equipment, ornaments for aquascape, get creative to your heart content. *unique, unusual range of fish that you wont see in other store in Adelaide Marine *stunning, stinging, mouth gaping range of coral and anemone *again, this guy are quite resourceful, unique creature of the sea that you wont usually see in other store in Adelaide *amazingly displayed in the middle, along with the price, so you dont have to keep wondering how many days you have to eat instant noodle cuz your wife kicked you out in the couch. Overall: Adam and arnie know their sheit, i consider they quite responsible,want you to success with your fish keeping journey and refuse to sell live stock if your tank still cycling. The price also very competitive, affordable, best in adelaide in my opinion, im poor btw. Cons: *not many range of plants *dont come here during weekend and expect quick service, they can get busy and hastily caught the livestock, you dont want that. Fish dead, you mad, store get 1 star, nobody happy.

I hadn’t been having much success with my tropical tank and was considering giving up on it as the new fish I was purchasing seemed to perish pretty quickly, and then they’d take out my exisiting healthy fish. After triple checking my water conditions I thought I’d have one last crack, and I don’t want to bag out another store, but while browsing I began to pay more attention to all of their tanks and I noticed quite a few had sick or unwell fish. After noticing that I walked out without making a purchase and then went to Aquarium World. I looked carefully at all of their tanks and every single tank was spotless and there was not one unwell or ill fish. So since then I’ve only purchased fish from these guys and my tank is thriving - I just wish I’d started coming here sooner as it would have saved both money and stress. In addition to heathy and happy fish, they also have a massive range and their prices are extremely reasonable, plus they are happy to give you advice but they’re not pushy about it. These guys clearly know what they’re doing and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

I bought 10 neons from here and all died within 2 days. I had one neon from my last group (bought from a different store) and was housed in the same tank as all the new neons, while all others died that one survived. I know my water is fine as I tested it, the filtration system prior to this has also been used with other fish and they have been fine. Also bought 2 oscars from this store and for the first 2 weeks, they weren’t eating and being completely inactive. After a while they started to eat and everything seems to be fine now. This store has a big variety and very good prices but that’s all useless when the fish die within days of getting them.

  • Kris Kopicki

I was unfortunate enough to have the back of my shirt snag an ornament on a shelf behind me in this place. Apparently it was worth $100. They got me to pay $50 for it. Now thinking about it afterwards, I don't believe I in any way acted negligently, and have zero control over preciously placed items in their store. Obviously after this experience I will never be back. You may want think about how you treat such situations in future. I'm now very happy with my $1500 setup that I just purchased elsewhere, when all they seemed worried about their loss.

Love this place, the tanks are always clean and the variety is great. Never have I had an issue with any fish I have purchased from here (and that's a lot). The worst part I have found with Aquarium World is I can't drive past without stopping in for a 'quick look' and I have never walked out without spending money.... Not because I was made to or felt pressured but because there is always something that I want there and the prices aren't competitive with other places they are straight up cheaper! And the team are always friendly and happy to help.

  • Adrian Peter

Very impressed good selection of healthy fish reasonably priced customer service is A grade very clean a lot of fish not common to the hobby owner and staff are willing to help you with anything they can they don't mind you looking around at all one of the best shops in Adelaide to visit would recommend them to anyone that is looking to enter or is in the hobby

  • Car Ma

After a horrifying experience at competition: Fish Haven, I bit the bullet and stopped in to Aquarium World. What a pleasant surprise, they’re literally the opposite to (dead) Fish Haven! Happy and friendly staff, beautifully bright store with a great variety of *healthy* fish! The advice from here is genuine and accurate. The owners talk to you like a friend you’ve known for years too. See you again soon guys

  • Michelle Millard

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable with a great variety of fish and aquarium products Im in the process of fixing up my neglected tank and so far have had some good advice on what to do. Also been asking questions on my plans for planting out my tank and what plants to get as i have silver dollars that love to eat them - again have had some good advice. Friendly staff and affordable prices

  • Claudia Leske

Wow! Absolutely the best fish place in town. I always go out of my way to come here for any advice or to simply buy fish. These guys go above and beyond for their customers , they know the answers to everything , super knowledgeable! Very welcoming store and well worth the trip from home. Huge range of fish from cold waters , tropicals and marine!

  • David Croucher

Bought a heap of guppies and neons and they died the next day . . The owner replaced them but they died again the next day. He tested my water and it was perfect but kept saying no one has complained... Well now my fish I had before buying his have been dying and I have managed now to stabilise the tank. Not happy Jan........

  • Chloe Mildred

These guys always look after you with anything you need and always give you professional help and info. I always have quite a few questions when I head in and there more than happy to help me out. Also have the best variety of fish in my eyes, I travel half an hour plus to go and get my fish and fish needs from them! …

  • Sam Chamberlain

Yeah was keen to deck out our new aquarium... disappointed majorly! couldn't get any assistance *not busy just not helpful* and their tanks just made me sad for their critters =( The outside of this building is great but that's where it ended for me, inside is nothing like the exterior would suggest.

  • Georgia Sofianos

Absolutely amazing service today. I bought a new fish tank. The salesman offered to set it up for me, I said nahh how hard could it be. I got home, opened the box and thought ok, not as easy as I thought. Then two phone calls later to the store and all sorted. Many thanks for your help.

  • T P

I was so excited to discover this shop. Can't believe I didn't know it was here. Friendly staff, amazing range of fish. We only bought Rosy Barbs but there were so many tropical and cold water fish to choose from. They have display fish too - super cool to see a freshwater sting ray!

  • David Langley

Excellent, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Fish are in excellent condition. They won't sell you the wrong type of fish for your set up for the sake of a sale. I've been to most of the fish shops around Adelaide and I reckon this is the best. Excellent value for money as well!

  • Renee Colquhoun

Just found this aquarium place close to work, great stock and variety. Love looking at all the fish even when just calling in to get some food. Guys are very helpful with what fish will work well in tank and suitable for fish already have. Definitely a favourite store to visit!

  • Gerald Glico

Very knowledgeable, excellent customer service, very friendly staff, very healthy fishes, clean and tidy environment, and competitive price tags within a broad range of essential aquarium products to choose from! Truly a competitive shop for fellow aquarists/fishkeepers!

  • Aleshia Ford

Good range of products and fish. The only thing that made me sad was the condition of the Cockatiels cage as we walked in. It was full of droppings and looked like he desperately needed some fresh food. He was such a sweet little bird. Please clean his cage …

  • Green Aquatics

Hands down, the best Aquarium store in Adelaide. Knowledgeable staff, clean shop, healthy stock and helpful advice. The guys really know what they are doing and have all bases of aquariums, ponds and aquaculture covered! Highly recommend a visit!!

  • Sean 007

Nice big shop. Lots of interesting fish and nice, helpful staff. A little pricey but most of the staff will work out a deal if buying a bit which is great. Definitely worth it if you are looking for mature fish or something different in your tank.

  • Tayla Oates

DO NOT BUY FISH FROM HERE! Brought 4 fish from here, around $100 worth and 3 have died within not even 2 weeks and the other doesn't look to good. No issue with our other fish and our water is perfect! Only issue with fish is from this place!

  • Andrew Vermeeren

One of the best shops in Adelaide and always the best advice. If you are not sure what you want and need some direction the owner will tell you everything you need to know! Amazing service and better prices then I've seen in most other shops!
