Uni Hill Aquarium

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.

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.

If I could rate higher than 5 stars then I would give a million stars! I’ve visited multiple aquatic stores around Melbourne & I always come back to Uni Hill aquarium. I’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 “Melbourne’s number 1 aquarium store”.

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, they’ve given amazing customer service & that’s why Uni Hill aquarium is my Number 1 aquarium store in Melbourne!?

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 “ yes we know “ 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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

Terrible customer service. Workers won’t even come up to you and ask if help is needed. Bad vibes won’t shop here again.

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.

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

This place is soo clean and nice to visit. It's big and have a range of aquarium fishes. The staff are friendly. The prices are also reasonable compared to other aquarium places.

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

We bought some lovely fish from them and the staff were super friendly and nice and gave us lots of professional advice. We really enjoy the experience there and highly recommend to everyone.

Lovely place to be. Very welcoming and will look after you and your need. They have some good veriarity of livestocks wity occasionally rare spicies of fish.

They do not look after their fish at all the tanks had mond in them fish were dead the price is way to over I went to other sotres and they were not as expensive as this store they do not know how to run a aquarium do not buy from this store

Great aquarium and supplies, love the helpful and wonderful staff.
Will be by number one stop from now on.
Thanks.
