juzzo_5913 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 hey guys, so I live on the northern beaches in sydney and i dont know many of the areas out west as a p-plater. i have been going to st george in rockdale for a few years now, and they have been fantastic but i was told they were closing down and now i dont no what to do about getting new fish and all that I have a 4ft cichlids tank. (i wanted it for breeding but was unlucky all my femals started dying so i use it as a male tank now.) so the point of this topic is everything here on the beaches is way to expensive and they have nothing on africans. can you guys help me out with some new places out there that are just as good qulaity, a few mates have said theres places like www.livefish.com.au and they deliver but who can trust them and there prob more expensive. i am just learning to keep fish so take it easy on me with your answers haha.Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolla Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Aquaristic in Roseberry/Botany has an ok range of cichlidsFishbowl At Carlton (10 mins down the rd from stgeorge) again has your bread and butter and sometime gets some rarer species.Newton Aquarium Not a huge range but may aswell check it outAuburn Aquarium Huge range, but not the cheapest.Petcare 2000 store in Sutherland, good range of cichlids at reasonable pricesMajestic in Caringbah, keep in mind almost all the fish on his site arent kept at the store so ring first to save dissapointment.Le Aquatic Lansvale all your bread and butter covered, fish are usually breeding age and good prices, they have heaps of other gear at great prices tooNeotropical Aquariums Chester hill (new store, just opened worth a visit for sure )As mentioned before both shops up hornsby way are pretty good aswellThats about the best of the bunch when it come to cichlids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juzzo_5913 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 fantastic guys your awesome thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanoz Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 i find that the one mentioned in botany/roseberry is quite expensive. Not a bad shop though with a decent range but if your tight you should like to check the others first. majestic i ahve been to which is actually tarren point i believe and has a wide range or fish and equipment at decent prices. As mentioned their stock is not always instore so you may have to tell them first but also their site has some offer where apparently if you bring a printout they give you a discount.their link is http://www.majesticaquariums.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
