    I got an axalotle from this shop a few months ago. All seemed well. I purchased what I was told I needed and told I would only need 1 chemical, the prime conditioner. All was going well until my axalotle started to show signs of ammonia burn. I called up the shop, and they told me to do water changes with a few caps of prime. I did this for a few weeks, and my axalotle showed no signs of improvement, and neither did the tank. We were also going on holiday in a few weeks so I was worried he was going to pass while we where away I called up the shop and they where going to make me pay $130 a week to just feed him!! The food only costs $20 and can last a full year. So I decided to call up Majestic Aquariums, and the first time I went their and explained the problem, they knew exactly what to do and where the problem was. I discovered I only had 1 of 4 chemicals, and the tank had way more problems than just ammonia because of the lack of chemicals. They also sounded way more confident about what they were saying and anytime I called and needed help they where always really nice and helped out, and in the 3 weeks I have been working with them, my axalotle and tank are back to normal. If you own an axalotle and need help, I highly HIGHLY! recommend going to Majestic Aquariums instead of What's Fishy. If I didn't call Majestic and kept going with this shops advice, my axalotle would have died a week ago. Therfore 1 star

    I had to move unexpectedly and I needed someone to look after my fish in between homes. Sam came to my house, collected my fish, helped me empty the tank and then stored my fish at his shop for 6 weeks until I had another tank arranged. He then came and set up the tank at my new place and treated the water until it was ready for the fish to move into. He answered all my questions and nothing was ever too much trouble. I love my new tank and am so glad to have my original fish back. Sam is so professional, knowledgeable, kind and has such a gentle and patient demeanour. I cannot recommend him highly enough and look forward to my continued dealings with him. A+++

    Really kind, didn’t have what we needed for sale but he had stuff he uses for his tanks he gave to us for free, very helpful. Cares more about the customers than the money which is how you know it’s a great business, definitely coming back. <3

    It's great to see someone so young following their passion! I always believe in supporting small business owners, so I recommend for you to get behind Sam and watch the business you supported as it grows!

    They kindly supported me when I need advice to save my fish due to bad water quality. They even suggested to look after one of them who was really unwell and tried to save it. Great people. Thanks

    Great fish shop run by a young man that gets some of the harder fish to find in the aquarium game. Top notch service with great communication. I purchased a juvenile Saratoga and he even threw in the small enclosed floating container to keep my new addition safe from my larger fish till it grows out. 10/10

    Sam saved my beautiful fish when my tank leaked. He came on a Sunday, way after hours, went by his shop and brought me a beautiful new tank. Ensured the transition was great. Thank you for everything. Fish happy and tank beautiful

    We are fist time aquarium owners and the guys at What's Fishy? have been amazing. A great service answering all of our many questions and messages, and helping us get set up with everything we need. They have gone over and above and we will be regulars for all our aquarium needs. Highly recommend!!

    Been using Sam since his old location at Sutherland his very knowledgeable and friendly. Love the new shop front which has huge variety. Sam is knowledgeable and honest with competitive pricing this plus is a must visit if you are serious about your fish. Stock is always healthy and top quality attached is a photo of fish brought purely from his shop.

    My young boys and I love this shop. Sam is very knowledgeable and very patient as we get very excited about all the different fish. It is clear he treats his fish well and we have now brought 6 goldfish for our pond and my work. I hope one day to get a Betta from this great store.

    I drove 102km from Central Coast to Jannali to pick up my first wild caught Jardini. Sam is one of the best aquarium professionals with a flawless service attitude in Greater Sydney. He also sent me a message to ask about the settlement of new fish next day. This added on service is quite rare, but comforting in this industry. I do highly recommend What's Fishy Aquarium to be your aquarium consultant and supplier if you want to start one at home.

👍 I love going here when in town. But this time was a disappointment 😞. Tropical fish inventory was low. Took 20 minutes to get helped and there was not that many customers. Ended up leaving without fish cause of lack of inventory and sales rep talked me out the fish I choose. Thought maybe I could...
