✨ Poly-filter - a special patented material bonded to a synthetic matrix, this product acts as a revolutionary mechanical filter. Rather than just trapping waste, particles of debris actually cling to the Poly-Filter fibres, allowing water to flow through freely with no clogging, and ensuring no waste is released.

✨ Hikari Micro Pellets - This brand of pellet works to reduce stress and anxiety in fish as well as build their immune system at the same time. Because the food is fibrous, it means less mess in your fish's tank. The nutrition will be absorbed properly in most cases which means less fishy stools. We feed Hikari Micro Pellets in store daily and have also noticed incredible activity and colour in our livestock.

✨ Smart UVC Internal Filter - This fantastic product comes in 5W, 7W and 13W, meaning they can be used in assortments of litres! Ranging from 65L up to 1500L 🤯
The UV-C Sterilization helps to keep your water clean and your fishes healthy, It also completely clears free floating algae (green water) without the use of any chemicals!

Triple up appreciation post! 🐠🐠🐠

💚- As always, the Black Green Avatar Angels are a show stopper and have been a huge hit in store. While juveniles don't show the incredible green colour right away, our little guys are starting to get that stunning green shimmer and know this lot will sell out fast... So get in quick!

🧡 - Kohaku Swords, a real funky variety of the live bearing sword tail species.
From the crisp whites to the dreamy oranges, Kohaku Swords are a peaceful species that is fun to watch and super easy to breed! 👶🏼

🤍 - Sidthimunki Loach AKA the Dwarf Chain Loach, is a more relaxed small growing species usually only reaching 5cm at maturity. The secret to seeing these guys be active, believe it or not, is lots of hiding spaces! They enjoy going from cave to cave socializing with one another and showing off. If you have never kept dwarf chain loaches, they are a must-have for every freshwater hobbyist’s bucket list. Just remember to save up to get the biggest group possible so that you and your family can fully enjoy their adorable antics. oh... and they are amazing pest snail eaters too!

Mystery snails are a pleasant character to add your community tanks!

We currently have some stunning golden, tortoise shell, ivory and blue Mystery Snails available!

To our friends, family and clientele of Elite Fish + Reptiles and Mallison Transport.

It is with the heaviest of hearts we announce the loss of our dear girl, Maisy. Maisy peacefully passed away surrounded by those who adored and loved her. Her love knew no bounds and her loss leaves an irreplaceable void in our hearts.

She was our ray of sunshine, the most beautiful girl with the gentlest of hearts. She has left us with countless moments of laughter and happiness, always coming to the front door to greet people with her welcome woof with her best friends Mia and Archie.

Let us all celebrate the beautiful memories we shared with her, cherishing the time we had, holding onto the love she gave so freely and carry it with us always.

Maisy, you were more than just a pet; you were family. Rest in peace, May May. You will be forever missed and never forgotten.

We love you ❤️

Really missing seeing our adult bearded dragons out and about since they've been in brumation! (Brumation is state of sluggishness and inactivity during the cooler months for those who don't know)

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

Anzac day 25th of April, we will be closed.
Lest we forget.

Black Knight Rams 👑

This special variant of the Blue Ram displays the melanistic gene, cancelling out almost all other colour pigment and making them completely black! 🖤 While Cichlids aren't generally recommended for a community setup, in small groups this dwarf species will do rather well.

Gorgeous little Clown Panchax currently available in store!

Despite being small, these little babes have a huge amount of confidence and regularly come up to you to inspect what you're doing! It's better to have one male to multiple females for this species as the boys can get a little territorial to their own type.
