  • 2/5 Gilberts M. 5 years ago on Google
    On Saturday the 9th of June, to my joy i had purchased a black Siamese fighting fish who was known as Gilbert Cassidy. He was loved by many, but unfortunately, it was noticed that white spots had covered his entire body, two days later Gilbert was found dead, breathless at the top of his tank. I had an emotional attachment to Gilbert and the discovery of his death has left me devastated. It has been an hour since Gilbert was last alive, he didn't get to live a great life because it only lasted a week. I listened carefully as the worker told me the instructions on how to take care of him, i even wrote them down and i hung the paper next to his tank. Gilbert was loved by many and he will not be forgotten. Your aquarium is lovely but however, i will not be going back there as death is inevitable and i cannot stand to see another fish with Gilbert's fate. Below is a photo of Gilbert in his final hours

    Nice Takashi Amano inspired aquascape-set up tanks with cute shrimps. Too advanced for my abilities to upkeep at home but totally awesome to admire at the shop. Owner Ken is knowledgeable and always provides patient and helpful service. Staff are always very helpful as well. Good range of tropical freshwater (and cichlids and marine), and have helped me in ordering specific fish in the past. Many a tank crisis has been averted at home thanks to this shops help over the past decade! A big thank you to everyone!

    friendly service, however, fish I bought died after two days. Other fish living in the aquarium are totally healthy and happy (these I bought from a different aquarium) - tested the water and it was fine. Also sold a "cardinal tetra" which was actually a neon. Pretty disappointed...

    Good for saltwater enthusiasts but as of right now the selection for freshwater is limited to only small comets and like 1 or 2 tiny fantails

    Very small overpacked store. Felt sorry for fish even though they all seemed healthy. No effort was put to make their environment nice. It was just a tank with water and air - no decor or enough space to swim around. The large Oscars were in 30 cm square tanks.

    The man that runs this shop is so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about anything aquarium related. His prices are very reasonable and always goes out of his way to assist with questions. Best aquarium store in Sydney.

    Best staff, couldn't be any more helpful. They are very knowledgeable and more importantly very friendly. I will definitely come back, low prices as well!! Shout out to the very few aquariums that help you pick out your new pets without giving you the idea that you will kill them in a day. Thanks for helping me with my new tank! See you guys again soon!

    It’s ok. All your basic needs. Great display tanks. But I think the stock tanks should look as good. Clean glass, tanks and good lighting.

    Unbelievably helpful… A+ customer service. Has everything you need for your aquarium. I particularly buy the frozen blood worms. The prices are really competitive and fair.

    Ken and Kevin at The Fish Bowl Carlton are friendly, professional, helpful and fantastic to deal with. Their fish, plants, corals and equipment is second to none. I have both a small fresh water set up and large saltwater marine set up and everything has come from them and it has been A1 and perfect. Their shop may not be as big as other competitors, but they have all quality and everything is healtly. I recommend anyone wanting anything to do with an aquarium, go visit Ken and Kevin from the Fish Bowl. You won't be disappointed!!!
