fishfriendzzz 11 Report post Posted December 26, 2014 does anyone have details of the new shop? possibly web or fb link? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sacrilicious 1 Report post Posted December 26, 2014 It's where Fishchicks used to be - he has taken over the shop, cleared out some stuff, changed up the stock a little. I was very impressed when I was there a couple of weeks ago. He is lovely to talk to - genuinely nice person. The address is:17/478 Ipswich Road, Annerley QLD 4103. I can't find a website at the moment - its possible there isn't one up yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 66 Report post Posted January 23, 2015 Went in yesterday and i like very much what steve has done and the way it is going. About time someone has stocked a good range of Rainbows. And his child minding service is particularly impressive Haven't seen this advertised so I will give him a plug anyways... He will be having a huge sale on all Australian native/ Australian bred fish on Australia day this Monday. Will definitely be worth a look if you aren't too drunk to drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2015 I can tell you he has some mighty fine angelfish, live bearers and plants in stock as well, but i'm biased lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattyd 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2015 I've dropped in recently and the tank displays, the incredible rainbows, and the clean tanks are a nice touch. I'll miss Jodie, but I think these guys have what it takes to make that business shine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swinse 4 Report post Posted January 24, 2015 Spent nearly 3 hours in there a couple weeks ago having my mind blown by how much knowledge Steve has and his willingness to share it. Also has some great looking fish with the best selection of rainbows I've seen around. Wil be going back maybe next week to pick some up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pk333 318 Report post Posted January 24, 2015 Was in there myself this afternoon. Quite a few Australia Day specials. As usual the chat, laughs and customer service is great. I mentioned this thread to Steve and Edwin, and they were well pleased. One thing to note. The store is NOT OPEN ON AUSTRALIA DAY. That's what Steve told me today. If you want to double check, I suggest you call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grubby 441 Report post Posted January 24, 2015 Or on Sundays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
litigator666 114 Report post Posted January 24, 2015 Or on Sundays Saturdays and sundays are good days to open as most people have work and dont have the pleasure of visiting shops on weekdays. They might be missing some opportunities on sundays if they are close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AussieAndy 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2015 Saturdays and sundays are good days to open as most people have work and dont have the pleasure of visiting shops on weekdays.They might be missing some opportunities on sundays if they are close. Everyone needs a day off mate! They are open on Saturday, I'm sure a lot of people can get there on the Saturday, and opening on Sunday would probably just spread Saturday's customers out over two days, and maybe add 10%, so from a shop owners point of view it wouldn't be viable. It's not like he get heaps of walk past customers! I was there yesterday for my second visit, the fish he has there look awesome, all brightly coloured and happy looking. We got 12 black neons and will be going back next Saturday for some yo yo loaches. I loved the fish and chips too!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d1ll 14 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Is there an interesting selection of plants or is it mostly the usual varieties? How are the prices on livestock? Will need to check it out since its close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
