Run by a husband-and-wife team with over three decades of fish breeding and tropical fish retail experience, this Te Aroha aquatic specialist pairs hands-on knowledge with a focused inventory of fish, plants, and fish supplies. Beside retail stock, they handle complete aquarium installations on request and offer tropical tank servicing within a 20-kilometre radius of the shop. Visitors through the door are greeted by Phoenix, their friendly resident Dobermann.
Customers consistently praise the owners, Sue and Craig, for going the extra mile with practical guidance, and commend the healthy live fish, plants, and clean display tanks, alongside reliable mail orders. We hear the business is currently transitioning toward home-based online sales with reduced physical stock, so check opening status and availability before making the trip. Located at 142 Whitaker Street in central Te Aroha, the shop closes Sundays and public holidays, though phone arrangements can be made for visits outside standard hours. Our pick in town for specialist aquarium advice straight from experienced breeders.
