I always go in for a visit with my son who loves to gaze at all the exotic fish in this aquarium shop. They sell various kinds of fish, ranging from the regular goldfish to finding Nemo’s clown fish & royal blue tank to the beautiful discus fish and the rather odd walking fish. The staff/owner is pretty friendly and doesn’t get iffy from a child going ooh and ahh at the fish in the shop and is still friendly even though we are just visiting the shop to gaze at the fish. The prices of the fish are pretty reasonable and the condition of the tanks look clean and well kept.

Can't even recommend this aquarium store more. Have been using Linh's shop since I first moved to the area a year ago. First contact was ringing the store for advice on setting up a marine tank, didn't know if I could successfully do it but I rang hoping for advice. It wasn't just advice I received, it was encouragement and support and I hadn't even purchased anything from Linh yet, he just wanted to genuinely help me. Super friendly, super knowledgeable, great range of fresh and marine fish and coral plus owner Linh is just so damn nice. I have seen a competitor in the neighbouring suburb but I can't imagine using them as Linh's knowledge, service, price and quality is the best.

Great place Lin is a very knowledgeable guy and knows a lot about fish never had a problem with his fish ever!!

Amazing fish and super knowledgeable staff who care. Here's a happy snap of one of our new additions sending it's love.

Always top quality fish and fish product. I know the guy for over 15 years (since I got into this hobby) and i can highly recommended this shop. Very knowledgeable and professional services!! The best available!!! You won't be disappointed..

The owner certainly knows his fish and aquariums in general which is the key reason for the longevity of this business. The shop is dim so it is a bit like entering and old style 'Aquarium' attraction with the lights of the tanks and gurgling filters setting the rhythm. Pricing is reasonable and customer service far exceeds what one get from the corporate barn like pet shops. Well worth a visit if you're seeking fish without chips...

excellent service, well priced and wide range of fish and coral. Lin was very knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend!

The guy who runs it sold me a school of fishies and he picked them up by hand, leaving a few stragglers on the floor while counting them. Despite me pointing this out he didn’t care and said “I didn’t put the ones on the floor in your bag”. If you know anything about fish you would know that this is just not ok and it damages the fish a lot. I’ve seen it before and most fish will die of ha doing this way and especially the ones left on the floor for an extended period of time. Idiot. Will never go back.

Always very helpful and friendly, wouldn't go anywhere else! Thanks!

Linn is not only immensely knowledgeable, but is an amazingly down to earth and friendly individual. Always makes you feel welcome and gives genuinely honest help and advice!!!! I wouldn't go anyplace else.

Great guy

Best fish aquarium ever! Been going here with my parents since I was a little kid, lihn is a top guy and always happy to help and have a joke he makes his customers feel like family and very welcome. I highly recommend V&L aquarium

Highly recommend V & L Aquarium - Lin is very passionate about his fish and prices were so much cheaper than other aquarium shops I had previously looked at! Lin was fantastic to deal with! No request was too hard, he was super helpful and even delivered the 4ft cabinet for our new tank free of charge!

Friendly service

Owner is super helpful! Wish I had enough tanks for all the bettas available, they were gorgeous

Yeah...it's a good place for some fish shopping...

Just discovered this gem of an aquarium shop. Knowledgeable owner who's had the shop for 25 years, variety of fish and plants. Friendly, and good prices

Very clean and very knowledgeable. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Small shop but lots of live stock. Owner very helpful. Parking can be challenging. Plants and shrimps available

Store owner was amazing in giving me advice on stocking my tank - will definitely be back!

First discovered this aquarium over 20 years ago , and a couple of years ago got back into the hobby and decided to pay Linh a visit , so glad I did Linh’s expertise and advice made me feel at ease with my selection . Im super happy with my tank Quality fish and a really nice guy to deal with Thanks a bunch mate

Can't beat the customer service! Linh is a great fella with lots of knowledge. Got a great deal on these gorgeous pink kissing gourami and will definitely be back.😊🐠

Awesome store, great selection of fish and aquatic plants. very helpful for my first fish tank!

Great advice and knowledge, great prices too

Great, friendly local place. Very good service compared to busy, bigger aquariums.

Lin is always very helpful

Awesome service, healthy fish and great prices.. would recommend highly

Lin is a very helpful and charming person. Reasonably priced healthy fish . This place has definitely won a permanent customer.

Best service Highly Recommend

Excellent knowledgeable owner who assisted. Good selection of goldfish that we were after

Had a very very bad experience. I was about to set my first marine tank and visited this shop. As instructed by the shop owner I bought aquarium and some live rocks and the very next day, omg what I could see is a fish tank full of worms.  🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢. Not recommended at all. He didn't even mention anything about bristle worm. The live rocks that he has given contains thousands of worms. Guys be very careful!

Takes horrible care of there bettas I purchased a male betta for 50$ and he just threw the betta into a bag with another tanks water witch stressed the betta out bc the bettas tank had 2ppm ammonia and when I added him to his 40 liter he had swim bladder that wasn't treable now he Is just lying in his tank not able to swim I would not but bettas here or any other fish I recommend roxys aquarium they take great care of there bettas compared to here and way betta prices

Great aquarium shop with fantastic and reliable service and advice.

Great variety of fish.Very knowledgeable and patient!

Great little aquarium. The livestock looked healthy and well cared for. Had a nice chat with owner and he was very knowledgeable and happy to help with info etc. Fair pricing, too.

This store has got variety but fish health is not the best most of them have fin rot or are constantly rubbing themself on rocks or substrate . Plus things are overpriced for a shop like this, things you can get 10-15$ cheaper online / other places the prices of fish are expensive for their quality. Bettas and single blue crawfish are left to die in the display 800ml glass containers. Would not recommend this place rather the Coburg aquarium, Roxy aquarium or the fastway aquarium for the quality of fish and cheaper price.

It's a little local shop. Ok range of fishes, mostly freshwater but they got some saltwater fish too. Plant collection is meh. Not much else to look at other than fishes.

Very nice guy served us. The place is clean & has good variety of fish. Happy with our fishies!

Very knowledable and friendly staff member and very well priced

Fantastic service, knowledgeable and friendly. Can’t ask for much more and is now my goto place.

Really great shop, with a huge range of Fish and equipment.

Had a sick black moor, I have no idea about the fish and the younger guy behind the counter was a great help!

Very knowledgeable staff Mathew He explained me the very basics from chemistry to maintenance as I am new to have fish 🐠 aquarium. Thanks Mathew

Lee was a great owner to talk to made it easy and was extremely very helpful. We bought several fish and were happy with the great service will be back for more.

Nice store been there for years and helpful staff.

GREAT PLACE for all your Aquarium needs. Lin is amazing and very helpful

Great service and advice as usual from a small business. Prices are also better than bigger shops. Highly recommend.

Great service, I have been coming here for many years. Trustworthy, friendly and great advice.

Great service he's the best !

Very helpful owner and staff. Not always about making a sale as he has proper knowledge and experience in the industry and will give you the right information to ensure its above board. You can't find service like that much these days

Super helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Great service and very knowledgeable

i met lin today. my partner and i was trying to find a permanent fish shop we could always go to as coburg aquarium was not a friendly place to be...and we found one. lin welcomed us, had a friendly conversation, i could ask him anything and made us very comfortable in the shop. ill be coming back for sure.

Great shop, there is something for everyone. On top of that the owner is great to deal with.

Great price Fantastic customer service Everything you need for a brilliant aquarium! Lin is an absolute legend when it comes to fish and what you need.

Very helpful

Lynn (sorry if I've spelt it wrong) has an awesome personality & is knowledgeable when it comes to fish

Excellent customer service.

Aquarium fish paradise- great store near the Preston Market

Wide selection of aquatice pets! There's even an Axolotl there! Amazing!

Great shop, good service and advice. I got some air hoses and stones from here.

Very helpful 👌👌

It's a bit fishy.

Best in the north

Great service and such a nice man. We go there because he stocks the algea tablets that clear up a green fish pond and they work great. Plus he has got a variaty of fish and plants to choose from.

Great marine fish shop and advice given. Thanks.

Awesome advice best service. Had a major tank crash that with advice had it cleared up in two days instead of a wipe. Very cool vendor

Not too bad

I always shop here and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Helpful owner, healthy fishies!

Excellent product range and excellent advice, Lin is very helpful and knows his stuff! Highly recommend this place for beginners and established hobbyists.

Lihn is absolutely amazing! I have been a regular customer since September 2022 and from day one Linh has been fantastic. Like other reviewers have said, he makes you feel welcome and is so easy to talk to. He has products galore and his knowledge is second to none. Linh has helped me with treatment for my sick cichlid, who today is happy and healthy and back in gen pop 😊 I cannot recommend him enough!

Great shop, friendly service, healthy fishy’s. Kids loved it.
