๐Ÿ˜  most fish kept fine but the axolotls were literally stacked on top of each other! 12+ axolotls in a tank that could only properly fit 3-4 :( very immoral. also betta fish were in tanks with such brown water that you could barely see the beautiful fish!

    It's Ok fish seem pretty reasonable lots of big Oscar type fish and appears to be a good array of Marine . I pity purchased the most depressed Betta I had ever seen in a cup, now he is happy. I would probably go elsewhere as it appears to concentrate on stock for larger tanks and Marine? Not appealing to me but staff were nice. Give it a go just not for me

    I can't imagine enjoying my fish pet life without having Joy and Daniel's help at Uni Hill Aquarium. Awesome couple with knowledge and a perfect size shop to get things and they always beat the price on either Amazon or ebay. Love it ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

    Quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Bought a tank and pump at shop. Friendly staff with good prices. Fishes are healthy, pricing is good. They stock for both fresh and salt water But shop needs more variety. Overall, recommended

    My new fav fish shop. I only just discovered these guys a couple months ago. They are so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Very happy with my C02 gear which was also a great price. Great selection of plant scissors and tongs. Also huge range of comets and fanatics for outside pond. Some nice cichlids and rainbows too.

    Be careful buying fish from this shop. Asked them to test my new tank water sample. $5 Fee. I still don't know if my water parameters are correct. Sales person was unable to test general water hardness or sell me a kit. They said general hardness is not important. I advised I was looking to fill an 8ft tank with cichlids. GH range should be 200-400 ppm. Sales staff should have known water conditions for different types of fish. Looks like i will be buying my fish at another aquarium. What a rip off paid for nothing.

    I think this is good Aquarium but with a lot more potential to be great. I've bought equipment from there, fish as well as food. I decided to write a review today, as I was annoyed that their website is not up to date with what they have in store. What's listed as in stock is not the case when you get there. I tried to call beforehand, but as usual the phone went to the answering service. I nearly had a wasted trip but I really needed the fish food so I decided on something else (hope my fish like it). My advice is to please keep your website up to date, and divert the shop phone to a mobile so that it is answered in person.

    Terrible customer service NEVER answer the phone.. Guy behind the counter needs to do the owner's a favor and quit. Only there for a pay check.

    Amazing place if I could give more stars I would I come in quite often mostly just for a look around as I grew up with fish a lot. Itโ€™s amazing to see their collection and how they donโ€™t mind if I leave my scooter in the store as Iโ€™m worried someone would steal it. Very pleasing and one of my most favourite places to go in general. Iโ€™m always greeted and whenever I need help I am assisted and if I knew their names Iโ€™d thank them in person but hopefully if they read this I thank them for their how nice they are. 10/10 would recommend

    Online order has been a nightmare, trying to contact them has been difficult. Item delivered to wrong address. I strongly recommend buying elsewhere and avoiding business's that use Hunter Express for deliveries

    If I could rate higher than 5 stars then I would give a million stars! Iโ€™ve visited multiple aquatic stores around Melbourne & I always come back to Uni Hill aquarium. Iโ€™ve bought all of my equipment from them and I have no complaints. The fish and plants are in mint condition compared to other well known aquarium stores that claim to be โ€œMelbourneโ€™s number 1 aquarium storeโ€. Today I bought a betta for my new tank & little Geo is happily living in his new home with his tank mate Munchii; a mystery snail I bought along with some plants a couple of weeks ago from this store. Props to the two friendly staff running the place, theyโ€™ve given amazing customer service & thatโ€™s why Uni Hill aquarium is my Number 1 aquarium store in Melbourne!๐ŸŸ๐Ÿซง

    Good range of fish & aquarium related products. Perhaps a little pricey. The shop is crammed & feels very cluttered but in an organised way. Credit card purchases under $20 incur a 2% surcharge.

  • 2/5 Christine A. 1 year ago on Google
    We purchased 4 pet fish in the previous month from this shop . We returned to purchase special food for them and when we found 3 dead and dying fish we notified the staff immediately.. their response was โ€œ yes we know โ€œ and they did not act concerned or remove the dead fish .those staff need to realise that people get upset when they see dead fish and it contaminates the water

    Love the shop when visited before lockdown, full range of Marine& coral stuff.Lovely coral section, didn't have a chance to talk to the owner. During lockdown, the shop does delivery, cant complain as they delivery same day. The owner have been super helpful with advice and understanding customer needs. If got a 6th star, i would give this shop 6 stars

  • 4/5 Bayden P. 1 year ago on Google
    Seems to be fairly well stocked and in a convenient location but is hard to get around in the shop and is a little bit pricey

  • 5/5 Jay S. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool store, great range of well known and unusual varieties of fishys.

  • 5/5 Dom H. 2 years ago on Google
    Uni Hill have an amazing variety of freshwater and saltwater aquarium stock and dry goods! The staff are absolutely wondeful too! One of my favourite marine stores in Melbourne!

  • 4/5 balakrishna t. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fishes best one I have visited so far. They do not take fish back and exchange or pay so be sure to ask beforehand.

  • 5/5 Mathew M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great shop. Lots of gear and supplies. Very knowledgeable.

  • 4/5 Erik Jason Luis C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very clean and organised. Labelled tanks and merchandise.

  • 2/5 Giang P. 2 years ago on Google
    The displays tanks are so brilliantly crystal clear and full of happy looking fish. Stunning. But that's where it kind of ends. Goldfish looked sad and stressed out. Poor range. All the nano fish are juveniles and way too young to be sold at that size. Obliviously a speciality store selling larger tropicals such as gorgeous flowerhorns and some marine fish. Lots of breeding gear. Not really much there for your average hobbyist.

  • 1/5 Tom W. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible customer service. Workers wonโ€™t even come up to you and ask if help is needed. Bad vibes wonโ€™t shop here again.

    Bought a light stand online for pick up, said in stock so I called multiple times to make sure but no answer. Drove 2 hours and then told me it had to be ordered after stating it was I stock. Very disappointed and waste of time.
