That Cichlid Guy Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi all, Spent the day visiting a few aquariums around the place and thought I'd share my experiance will everyone. First I went to labrynth at campsie, Andrew is a very knolageable man and I found the service very good, next I went to allfish2u at penrith. I went there after seeing an ad on gumtree, it stated that they had a "HUGE" range of fish, tried calling before I went but there was no answer. After visiting I was very disappointed by what little stock they had, there was maybe 5 tanks that had Africans. And they where suppose to be having a moving sale! Nothing was on sale and most if not all stock was overpriced. Very disappointed after traveling from Liverpool to penrith, so in conclusion anyone looking for aGood place to find nice stock and knolageable people, go see Andrew at campsie. Also ( sorry I can't remember the name) there is a nice load of stock and good prices at the aquarium on hoxton park rd at Prestons. Thanks to all who take the time to have a read of this! Regards Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Salt as the name suggests focuses on marine setups and is located on Old Bathurst Road at Emu Plains just before the lights as you head up the Mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malawi sand diver Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Here are some of the ones I have been to over the last year or so.Labyrinth - Campsie - biggest selection of cichlids & best adviceSomething fishy - Cartwright - quite a good selectionCity Garden Aquarium - nice place, has really increased their selection lately.Reef River Reptile - Hornsby - good selectionWetherill park - OK worth a lookThey are probably the main ones in terms of cichlds, then there are alsoLe Aquatic, Majestic & one on Parramatta road that also have cichlids. I haven't been to Abyss so can't comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Auburn used to be good but haven't been there for years. There is also another decent shop in Hornsby that was near Anthony but I it was more general aquaria. I did go to another one in the around the airport that was Ok as well but mainly Marine, discus and general aquaria. Matraville or something like that. At the discus place around Randwick. These places were on my old phone that got destroyed and I am hopeless with names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullyYellow Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hey Guys,I been wanting to visit AllFish2U but it seems to be just tropical? On facebook they have a few rare looking tropicals though. One that caught my eye was some gold metallic khuli loaches . But didn't want to travel all the way up there just to see them in person. As the OP said only 5 tanks of Africans?
