This aquarium is HUGE!! It truly is amazing. They have a massive range of fish, tanks and accessories. They have both salt water, tropical and cold water fish and even other marine life such as seahorses. Their tanks display is fantastic and the knowledgeable staff can help you with all the questions you have on setting up or the upkeep of your tank no matter what size. They have all the chemicals, foods, plants and everything else you could ever think of for your tank. If you live a fair distance from this shop as I do it truly is worth the drive.

Welcome to the Mecca of FreshWater: Tropical & Marine Aquariums!
But a Good Store is more than the sum total of a Great range of Fish.
Every aspect of Fish keeping is covered; with a huge range of Food, accessories and equipment. Whats also nice to know is that the Store caters for all budgets!
Lastly a Perfect Store wouldnt be perfect without a Crew of Passionate Fish Enthusiasts.
The Depth of kowledge of the Staff completely blew me away.
There are some really Good Aqua Stores in Melbourne; but if you take the time to come to the Coburg Aquarium? You wont be disappointed.
If you enjoy a fantastic Customer Experience, then do yourself a favour and come see for yourself.
I am not endorsed to write a positive review for Coburg Aquarium; it was my pleasure to write a Good Review after the Fantastic Customer Service Experience i received.
Hit and miss - mostly misses. Long time customer, going on almost 20 years now.. and whilst I’ve had the occasional decent experience (you need to know who to ask) I’ve had countless bad experiences with most of the ‘disposable staff’ that come and go, and only in it for their pay checks.im a firm believer it’s up to individuals to so their own research and know that they are capable of caring for whatever fish they want to buy, and if they can’t care for it properly than just don’t buy it. That being said, staff SHOULD know their basics and many staff are just literally clueless. You might even get bad advice! Like ‘yes you can keep this baby monster fish in your tiny aquarium’ just to make a sale. For shame. They have decent selection of stock, and prices aren’t so bad considering.. but buying fish from this store is a HUGE gamble. Many have survived, but equally a shame many seem to die after just a few days. I’ve bought many a fish from here (including expensive ...read more
Couldn't be more disappointed after my recent visit to Coburg Aquarium. We traveled in yesterday for my sons 9th birthday, spend over $300 and completed a Gecko setup as his birthday gift. We got home, set it up and last night attempted to feed them some crickets, we went out and when we came home 3 out of the 4 crickets were gone. Later that night we found 2 on our kitchen floor. We called and were advised to bring the enclosure back in (purchased for $150) i went back in with the kids only to be told there was nothing wrong with it and perhaps i could tape up the small gaps. I then spoke to Jacob the Operations Manager, his advise was to switch the Gecks to a diet of worms. I asked if this is what other people did and was advised no they were able to feed Crickets but they didn't get out but that there was nothing wrong with my enclosure. The only suggestion he had was accusing my kids of letting them out without me knowing (although it had been on ...read more
very unhhapy with their livestock. I purchased some different fishes online from them and apparently they were sick or something. once i introduced them into my fishtank, alot of my fishes started to die one after another. i toke the water to get it tested cause i though i probably did something with the chemistry of the water but no it was none of this. those new fishes which i got from them had some sort of BACTERIAL INFECTION and gave it to my old fishses which i already had. I lost more than 15 fishes which is a shame.
DONT RECOMMEND IT!!!! DODGY
So my 5 year old got a starter kit for his birthday from a well intentioned relative, great!!
The water was a little murky after 24 hours and he had been given 3 small goldfish with the 20 ltr tank. So we trundled off to Coburg Aquarium to get some advice on treating the tank, getting a better filter and maybe adding some friends for the resident fish.
Oh my.... First we couldn't get any service, so we got a number. Fifteen minutes later we get a very disinterested young team member. My wife and son, announce we would like some friends for our gold fish!!
Wrong question, we then recieved a tirade that we are the worst pet abusers in the world because we have overpopulated the tank, our son was scolded ...read more
