V & L Aquarium reviews
30 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
Very knowledgeable staff Mathew
He explained me the very basics from chemistry to maintenance as I am new to have fish aquarium.
Thanks Mathew
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!
Had a sick black moor, I have no idea about the fish and the younger guy behind the counter was a great help!
Fantastic service, knowledgeable and friendly. Can’t ask for much more and is now my goto place.
Very nice guy served us. The place is clean & has good variety of fish. Happy with our fishies!
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.
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.
Small shop but lots of live stock.
Owner very helpful.
Parking can be challenging.
Plants and shrimps available
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
Amazing fish and super knowledgeable staff who care.
Here's a happy snap of one of our new additions sending it's love.
Great place Lin is a very knowledgeable guy and knows a lot about fish never had a problem with his fish ever!
Excellent product range and excellent advice, Lin is very helpful and knows his stuff! Highly recommend this place for beginners and established hobbyists.
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.
Lin is a very helpful and charming person. Reasonably priced healthy fish. This place has definitely won a permanent customer.
