West Ryde Aquarium

I went to the aquarium in December 2022 to buy some neon tetras. I had set up a fully planted tank, cycled for 7 days, tested amonia nitrate ph hardness chlorine. All were in ideal levels so i was confident enough to start my tank. I initially bought 5 tetras so that it doesn't overload my filter (21L tank), within the first 3 days FOUR tetras had died. i thought maybe there is something wrong with my water, so i tested it again, nothing seemed to be wrong. I had 1 tetra remaining and i moved him to my betta tank immediately in Dec. In March 2023 i went to that aquarium again to buy 5 more tetras, again ALL OF THEM died within 3 days of purchasing them. I spent 2 hours integrating them into the tank, adding 250mL of tank water into the plastic bag so they can adjust to the tank water. There is nothing possibly wrong with my water or else my betta or old tetra would have already been dead. Just saying this is highly suspicious of the aquarium, are the fish all unhealthy? Have they been given some hyperactivity solution so they look more alive in the water? Are they just all SUPER OLD fish and happen to die as soon as i take them home? I will never know but i will not be coming here again. Never had a problem with Willoughby's aquarium, have bought plenty of fish from there not a single problem.

Great friendly and helpful staff. The guys know their craft. Will be back for fish for sure. Wish I knew how to look after live coral as there range is breath taking.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME THEY SOLD ME THE FASTEST SNAIL IN THE WORLD. HE REMINDS ME OF TURBO. THANK YOU DAVE FOR MY CHAMPION SNAIL.

I’ve been coming here for years now and I don’t know why I do. They staff are hard to get on to and when I do they will often contradict what another staff member says. It’s a shame as it could be a really cool place

The team at West Ryde Aquarium are super helpful and go above and beyond to service customers. The boys helped me source my wish list of products that are generally not readily available. Their prices are super competitive and their knowledge of products, plants and livestock is exceptional. I would thoroughly recommend any fish keepers to go check out the store and chat to the friendly and helpful team. Thank you again guys!

We like the small fish collection they have near the counter. We visited this place very often. Have purchased gold endler guppies and some plants there. I like the layout, it's clean and tidy. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The last time we were there, it's feeding time. I like the stick on food, less clean for the tank.

Excellent customer service, very knowledgeable staff. All the fish looks extremely healthy and pretty. Wide range of display and products. Good assortment of aquarium plants.

Quality of fishes are commendable, clean water tanks and healthy fishes! Prices are a bit high but it pays off long term..good variety of marine, coral and fresh water lifestocks including plants and aquascaping materials...i have not seen unique fishes like Apistogramma or german bluerams or killifishes etc, but you will easily get the common ones...

West Ryde Aquarium has top-quality products, knowledgeable staff, and exceptional customer service. The tanks and fish are well-maintained, and the personalised attention given to each customer is impressive. They helped me set up my first RedSea tank and got an awesome cup to go with it. Highly recommended and will be my one stop shop for all things tank related!!!

I walked in here to kill some time while waiting for one of the kids' sports things. Walked out with over $200 bucks worth of stuff. Superb store.
