Good morning to all.

Well over the last year, I’ve done by best to keep this little side venture going. However, with the current financial hardships that we are all experiencing, Kate and I have been required to concentrate on our other employment obligations for income purposes to keep our family a float. So, due to these circumstances I will be deactivating our website. However, all future orders/communication can be carried via FB messenger or enquiries sent to [email protected]

Our intention is to continue with our own breeding projects in the future, to which we will bring updates to you all as they present themselves. We will still be an Australian retailer for the Xtreme Aquatic range, for which orders can be submitted to us. I will be placing a price listing upon our FB page for viewing. As always Australia wide postage is a flat fee of $10.00. Once an order is submitted we will invoice your with payment details. Payment can be made by direct bank transfer, alternatively online credit card payment gateway can be provided with a 1.9% surcharge.

We have made some wonderful connections along the way of this little venture that have been very accommodating for us, and provide quality fish. We wish to be able to offer stock on a per order basis. Meaning that we may not hold the advertised stock on premises, but we can obtain for your collection or ship to you if needed. This will mainly consist of higher end or minimum quantity orders. Unfortunately I cannot make this feasible financially without doing so. Our minimum order value for shipping will be advertised individually, depending on stock quantities available. This will still be restricted to Adelaide, Cairns, Melbourne, Sydney and Townsville via Airport to Airport only. As per a previous post, we are not risking anymore livestock with courier delivery.

I thank you all for continuing to follow us thus far, and all the customers we have gained along the way. We still strive to provide the best service we can & offering that fishy friend you desire.

Kind regards
Mark…..

Hello all. We have a female mantilla hybrid available. Unfortunately she has taken a little nip from her previous holding tank. But its healing well.

No trades or further discounts. Thank you.

Eating really well. Sinking pellets, frozen prawn & brine shrimp. Slight nip on her disc from previous tank mate, but is healing well. She is priced accordingly due to this imperfection.

🐟🐟SHIPPING INFO AND LIVESTOCK DISCOUNTS🐟🐟

So we have organised our new shipping service which will be restricted to airport to airport collection only. We do realise that this will impact our orders, but as I indicated in a previous video post, couriers services aren’t reliable enough to continue with. So we will be air-freighting via Team Global Express/Toll Air to Adelaide, Cairns, Melbourne, Sydney & Townsville. Orders will be separated into two order sizes
Medium Box up to 5kg $75.00
Large Box up to 10kg $95.00
For shipping to be applicable we will require a minimum purchase value of $250.00 (excluding shipping fee) to be placed. Once again, we know this does restrict our services but unfortunately without minimum order values in place it wouldn’t be financially viable for us to complete. Shipping will be offered on every first and third Monday of the month (unless public holiday interferes, to which the next available shipping Monday will be selected). This is an overnight air-freight service that will reach your destination, and require your collection by approximately 9:00am the following morning at your Global Express/Toll Air depot destination. For livestock orders requiring shipping please contact us by phone: 0402 981 086 or email [email protected] so we can secure your selection and invoice you appropriately.

Another change we have implemented is for pre-purchase local pick-up of livestock. Due to the fact of having some one off items, we have always offered a pre-purchase option to hold your selection until your arrival. However, we now must implement a 10% of purchase cost forfeit fee if you are to not collect or cancel your order once submitted. Please understand that by removing a sellable item on your behalf, restricts the purchase to another potential buyer. So all we ask, is that your make your selection carefully.

Now some price adjustments primarily on some of our American Cichlids and a few Plecostomus variations, we need to move these on however no further discounts we be applied:

x 1 Uaru Adult Unsexed 18-20cm. Was $89.95 now $69.95
x 1 Green Terror Unsexed 8-9cm. Was $19.95 now $15.95
x 1 Cuban Cichid Unsexed 7-8cm. Was $32.95 now $26.95
x 2 Golden Balloon Rams Unsexed 3-3.5cm Were $16.95ea now $14.95ea
x 1 Chilli Red Oscar Unsexed 8-10cm Was $79.95 now $64.95
x 1 Chilli Red Oscar Unsexed 10-11cm Was $89.95 now $74.95
x 1 Super Red Oscar Unsexed 12-14cm Was $144.95 now $129.95

x 2 Albino Bristlenose Unsexed Sub Adult 6-7cm
were $24.95 ea now $22.95 ea or $40.00 for both

x 3 L144 Shortfins Unsexed 3-3.5cm
$22.95 ea / or all 3 for $60.00

$19.95 ea / or 3 for $54.00

Hello all fellow fish enthusiasts!
Firstly apologies for lack of updates with stock, and shipping protocol. As with everyone affected, the cost of living is taking its toll. The wife and I are taking up extra shifts at our other places of employment to make ends meet. Which is limiting the time and money we can invest into Freshwater Fins currently. But hold no fear, we continue to strive to succeed. Please remember that although our livestock shipping orders are still paused, the Xtreme Aquatic Food range is not. $10 flat rate shipping for all your food orders Australia wide. As always livestock can be collected from us directly, and we still plenty of quality fish to offer.

On our end we have had a first batch of Mdoka White Lips fry grown into free swimmers, and agressive eating Xtreme Community Crave crushed flake, and baby brine shrimp. On the other end we have our shortfin super red colony starting to produce aswell. We will still be bringing in quality livestock as opportunity presents itself, but also wish to offer our own aswell. 👍

Lastly, I haven't forgotten the little free give away once we hit 1000 followers. We are getting very close, and my appreciation goes out to all of you that support us and follow our journey. We may not get there quickly... but we'll get there.

**SOLD. HAS MOVES TO NEW WATERS**

Clown Knife/Chitala Ornata 35cm
$1,250.00

Alright. So I am offering up one of my own exotics to invest into future breeding projects for the business. In absolute perfect health, taking sinking carnivore pellets and frozen prawn. Been housed in my community display tank with zero trouble. Its honestly hard to let go, but at a significant value, the money could be used better at the moment.

No shipping I'm sorry as I not willing to risk by any freight method. So pick up will be required from me directly. Bray Park, Qld, 4500

For potential buyer: Please understand what you obtaining. Clown Knife fish get very big! So please have the suitable tank size. No, its not cheap. These are not found ultra often in the Australian market, so its pricing does reflect this. I prefer bank transfer for payment upon collection. Transfer must be approved in my account before it is removed from my aquarium. If you do not have a suitable size transfer container, I can provide a polystyrene box to transport.

Please feel free to share to genuinely interested persons.

Hello everyone. I have re-activated our website to show the stock we that is available for purchase with the pricing information within the description section of the specimen. You will notice that livestock is not able to be added to a ‘cart’ as such anymore, as we have had to remove our standardised courier options. We are still in negotiations with Toll/Global Express for the most cost effective shipping fee’s we can obtain for Airport to Airport collection, so please bare with us. I assure you we are working a quick as we can. Livestock orders requiring shipping will require a minimum order value of $250.00 + shipping fee’s. I apologise for the restrictions in this situation, but unfortunately it won’t work for us financially at all without doing so. The Extreme Aquatic Food range is still available to order through the site as per normal including $10 flat rate Australia wide. Requested online orders in the future will need to be submitted via email to [email protected] or by phone 0402 981 086. This will allow us to calculate the shipping size required and invoice you correctly as soon as we have pricing worked out with our transport provider.

Thank you to all for you support thus far. We hope our interstate customers will still be able to stick with us for the future.

Well after a pretty lousy week having to forfeit our door to door shipping service, it was nice to come home to a suprise. We acquired this Mdoka White Lip colony last week. Was lucky enough to come with a clutch off eggs, but I noticed the dominant male being rambunctious yesterday, and we now already have another female holding. Something we wish to persue to provide you with quality lines.👍

19/07/2023

Hello to all. Unfortunately website still under construction as we have had to make some adjustments to our shipping options.
