Aquatic Avenue - #01-03 Aquatic Avenue

Real nice shop with helpful staff. Don’t be shy about asking for opinions and suggestions. ? Hawker centre just behind. Makan first then shop!

I left this shop feeling angry and truly heartbroken; not because the staff was rude to me. The conditions which the fishes are in is absolutely horrendous. I am no expert but I have been to nearly every LFS in Singapore, and I have never seen conditions as bad. For a start, they have dead fish in nearly every single tank; and while I understand this may happen to some with the sheer amount of fishes in a shop, I do not think it is alright to leave them in the tank till their eyes are gone, their internal organs are gone... how long since the last tank maintainence? The starlight plecos were dead (at least both that I saw) and they were both covered in some weird white hair fungus/spores or something. The absolute worst was their Cichlids tank, they must have at least 30 to 40 cichlids there, and most of them are covered in white spot disease. Again, I am no expert, but for the amount and size of the white spots I'd guess they have been infected for at least a good few weeks. And the dead. So many dead cichlids. I counted at least 6. Normal? Maybe, with the rampant white spot, but NOT A DECAYED CICHLID SKELETON. Imagine how long it has been since a staff actually looked into the tank. 3 months? The condition of the tanks, with 3(?) full time staff, is absolutely abhorrent. Before I wrote this I read the review by jean bean 1 or 2 months ago on this shop, and I have to agree on the review for female betta tank. The tank was covered in debris and algae and the dead have decayed quite a fair bit. Even till today. So I have got to say, the reply from the store on jean bean's review is absolute horsecrap. I would even be bold enough to say if @jean bean were to go down to the store today, the conditions which he/she first encountered would still be there, if not worst. If you are a staff of Aquatic Avenue or boss G------ reading this, please, for the welfare of the fishes, take better care of them. Personally, I do not think it matters if an aquarium shop is focused on aquarium fishes, or aquascaping, or aquarium supplies; if you have any live fishes, an ethical business would make it an effort to take better care of them.

Second time i come to this shop. First i left because the staff member was giving me wrong information. Second time i come while it’s supposed to be open (with the open sign in the door) and it’s closed with not even a note on the door.

Staff and owner is always friendly and able to advise when there is any questions. Fishes and items are all nicely placed and alwyas visually appealing.

Good service by one of the staff here, felt welcomed. Most fishes were healthy and well stocked.

The quality of their fish is exceptionally high. Everything appears to be in the pink of health. The staff I spoke with claims it’s due to the temperature, but I’m sure their skills are part of the equation.

I usually frequent this shop to admire the beauty of its interior and to check out their rare and high quality livestock shipments every now and then. Today I went to get some plants but ended up doing a whole aquascape in the shop. The people here are really friendly and they give pretty good advice as well. Would come again

Just finish setting up our first shrimp tank! The guy in the store was very helpful and guided us through the whole process. He even gave us gift for our tank and let us catch the shrimps ourselves! The place looks good, aquatic lives there looks happy and healthy! Highly recommend!
