This was my regular haunt for quite a while, particularly as they were open till six most nights, so there was scope to drop in and pick up fish on the way home from work. Prices are good, stock range in both live fish & aquaria and accessories is brilliant, and the owners are real fish people, so they're picky about getting and keeping good livestock. There's an excellent range of tanks, from small all in one systems to examples of more extensive tank systems available in custom built sizes. I believe the pricing is demonstrative of a direct overseas source for both accessories and tanks, Pure would have to be one of the more economical aquarium stores I used to visit. It's been a while since I've visited, but back in the day they had a great range of cichlids, plenty of tropicals & goldies, and no marines at all. They did get a good range of exotics when available, too. Plants were a solid mix of longer lasting aquatic stock, and a few of the more common varieties too - lots of driftwood but not much rock. read more

This is one of the largest aquarium stores in my area near Unley and has a fantastic selection at really good prices. The service is very helpful and they will indulge you child choosing a specific fish in a tank of dozens. "That one! No, THAT ONE!!" They stock everything you need to set up your own system at home, be it a starter set or a large system with specialist fish. They are on the eastern side of Unley Road north of Target. read more

Honestly, my only real use for this place these days is for feeder fish for my turtle, Neil. And it's a long trip to Neil's tank these days, so I don't get here as much as I did a couple of years ago, but it's still a good shop. There's that familiar smell and humidity to this place that's common to most aquariums, but less so than most. I do like to spend half an hour looking at everything before I finally go to the counter to ask for 'victims' for Neil's reign of terror in his three foot tank of doom. The staff are nice enough, they usually ask how my day's going and that sort of thing. I do like this place. read more
