Canberra Marine

Fantastic experience: Purchased 3 marine fish before starting a 8.5-9 hour trip. Staff went above and beyond to ensure the fish I purchased would survive the trip home. Highly recommend! Awesome service!

Fantastic experience: Service was perfect. Kate was very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Katie was absolutely amazing! We walked in with no idea about what we wanted, and she was so patient. She was so knowledgeable about every single step of the process and she also seemed so genuinely excited about our fish journey. Incredible experience

Fantastic experience: Andrew did a full pond clean for us and we couldn’t be happier. He was super quick to respond, showed up when he said he would, and followed through without any fuss. Gave us a clear quote upfront and stuck to it, no surprises, which we really appreciated. You can tell he’s genuinely passionate about what he does and really cares about the fish. He was professional, thorough, and took the time to explain things along the way. Super informative but in a down-to-earth way. Above all, he was honest, upfront, and just easy to deal with. Would happily recommend him to anyone looking for someone who knows their stuff and actually enjoys the work.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and advice. Great assistance. We appreciated the honest advice and not feel pressure to buy.

Fantastic experience: Amazing service, amazing advice. My absolute go-to place for all aquarium supplies and questions. Can't speak anymore highly of the staff here.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best marine aquarium store I’ve ever been to! Canberra Marine is next-level — the shop is always stocked with high-quality gear, stunning livestock, and everything you could possibly need to build your dream setup. The staff are seriously awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to help. A huge shoutout to Andrew — he’s been there with us every step of the way, from planning and setting up our tank to answering every single question we’ve had (and there have been a lot!). No matter how small the issue or what time we reached out, he’s been incredibly responsive and genuinely invested in helping us get it right. The service, advice, and support from this place are unmatched. If you’re into marine aquariums or even just thinking about starting, Canberra Marine is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Visited store yesterday,09 May 25. Best store by far in Canberra. Friendly staff, good range and reasonably priced.

Fantastic experience: My 10yr old was very excited about getting her fish tank journey started and Daniel was very helpful and knowledgeable. Left feeling like she was confident she could manage with the advice given. Highly recommend this spot!!!

Fantastic experience: Really good place. We got the best advise and they could do enough for us. Very impressed.

Fantastic experience: Great selection and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and the price for the fishes is a way cheaper than of that in barrier street. They sell $30 for koi and $50 in barrier street. Also u can get discount if u buy bulk. I have purchased also a waterpump and its really good.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful advice from the all knowing gentleman at Canberra Marine ie the toughest fish available for our tiny terrace pond .Plus some amazingly beautiful aquariums with corals, anemones and exquisite tropical fish !

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Canberra Marine is fantastic. Selection of fish, plants, and high-quality equipment is outstanding—whether you're looking for rare species, lush aquatic plants, or top-tier hardscape materials and substrates, they've got it all. The customer service is just as impressive; the team is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to help with expert advice. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and the well-being of the livestock they sell. Highly recommend for anyone serious about the hobby!

Fantastic experience: I always get great service and fair prices from the team at Canberra Marine. They go above and beyond to answer questions and make sure you're happy.

Fantastic experience: Owner was great! Had lots of fish knowledge and was extremely helpful. Was great with the kids!

Fantastic experience: absolutely the only aquarium shop you should be going to in canberra!! staff went above and beyond helping treat a problem in my tank, always friendly and great advice, as well as the best prices on anything youll find in town highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Andrew is helpful and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Andrew and the team at Canberra Marine are amazing. I've been going here for all my fish-related needs since I started fishkeeping almost 5 years ago. Their fish are healthy and well-treated, and the shop a great selection of really well priced items. They also took wonderful care of my tanks when I went overseas. I wouldn't shop anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Visited CM during my stay in the ACT. First visit, excellent customer service, approachable, and very knowledgeable in the Marine hobby. Great selection of Soft, LPS coral and a nice variety of Marine fish, CUCs and equipment. Its a shame I live in Sydney, this place would be new local!

Fantastic experience: They give the best advice, and explain everything whether its your first tank or your a avid collector they are real experts in their field. From fresh water to salt water they're the ones you want to go to for expert advice, with a large arrange of fish and coral. Also all the tank care products you need.

Fantastic experience: Has fast sea water tub filling Nice and knowledgeable staff

Fantastic experience: Best place for all things fish in Canberra hands down! It doesn't matter who serves you, they are all so helpful and willing to answer any questions Very reasonably priced and always healthy fish

Negative experience: Horrible customer service. Extremely rude staff **They even comment below stating I have a smaller tank than what I told them.. luckily BEYOND AQUARIUMS sold me a nice angel fish and were much more helpful **

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome customer service and very helpful!

Fantastic experience: Great collection of both fish but particularly accessories and other paraphernalia related to having fish as pets. Definitely recommend this place

Fantastic experience: Andrew was fantastic. I got the best service and he was super cool, fun & interactive with my grandchildren. It made my day

Fantastic experience: Fantastic customer service, all the staff are really lovely and keen to help. Only minor let down is they don't have quite as extensive of a range of supplies as some others in canberra (probably due to the shops smaller footprint)

Fantastic experience: After contacting Canberra marine about a part i needed for my tank as I couldn’t find it online, they were able to sort me out by posting out the the part I needed from a tank they sold for spare parts specifically. Emailed me the invoice and was delivered to me in no time! Thanks again guys! Look forward to coming to Canberra and checking out the store in person.

Fantastic experience: Great Range, incredibly knowledgeable staff. Down for a chat even though I kept them past closing a couple minutes with my indecision and nerdy chemical talk (sorry i opened that container btw). A must visit if in Canberra or surrounding area, I know I will be back soon.

Fantastic experience: Best customer service. All the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I didn’t feel pressured into a quick sale. I would recommend Canberra Marine to everyone

Fantastic experience: Excellent place the staff are always helpful and engaging. They clearly have a lot of knowledge which they are happy to share with you

Fantastic experience: Came here after going to the Aqaurium shop around the road ( Beyond Aquariums ) who were really rude and insulted a friend of mine right in front of me, the staff at Canberra Marine were extreamly helpfull ,went above and beyond to provide excellent advise and a good price. thank you

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: The best aquarium store in canberra

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love Canberra Marine. The advice is always fantastic and the quality of their livestock and items are just as good. It’s always such a good experience coming in and spending time in such a lovely shop.

Fantastic experience: My favourite fish store. Huge range of fish and very knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic experience: the best aquarium shop in Canberra, nice boss and stuff!!!

Fantastic experience: Andrew is the fish God. He knows more than the fish themselves and price is awesome

Fantastic experience: It was a quick stop in today for some plants, always super healthy, while l only buy Val (it does well in a discus tank with hotter temps than a standard tropical tank) they have a decent selection. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff, very polite and always there to help! Also an impressive range of all different fish both freshwater and Saltwater

Fantastic experience: Wife big headed fish, which has name's for all 7 fish now Thankyou to the staff there

Fantastic experience: Everything for aquariums and pond fish. Staff with genuine knowledge about keeping fish and maintaining aquariums. Looks rough on the outside, a bit rough on the inside, but a trove of all things fish.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I love Canberra marine,we've been loyal customers for 6+years.Andrew knows so much about fish,corals & tank setups,his better than Google. Andrew is also a very honest person and will tell you what works for your tank.

Fantastic experience: Shop nicely display friendly and helpful staff. Wide range of products.

Fantastic experience: Top quality fish, coral, equipment and advice.

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, the best I should say, I have great experience of buying the Betta fish from here and they gave me the food also medicines for the betta fish now my fish is so happy and back to life. Staff was very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Andrew and the team offer great service, and are a wealth of knowledge on all things marine and freshwater

Fantastic experience: Great collection of marine fish and corals. Friendly staff

Negative experience: Wouldn't sell me and my 4 year old son a clown fish.

Negative experience: I appreciate the time I was given, but it felt like I wasn't a valued customer. The shop looks great and there is plenty of beautiful fish, but I won't be coming back.

Fantastic experience: We always go here to get our Corals. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable. Always happy to help you out when you have a fish/coral problem that you need to get an answer for.

Fantastic experience: Great range, friendly service and prepared to give you the tough advice you don't want to hear (but need to hear). 10/10

Fantastic experience: I spent the whole of today going to every fish store in Canberra looking for the best Betta Fish and I believe Canberra Marine had the most active and attractive fish. The man who assisted me, I believe his name is Andrew (I don't like that name), was very friendly and knowledgeable. I am really wanting to purchase Clownfish but other fish shop people have deterred me from trying, Andrew was very positive and makes me want to give it a go. I think he would be a good resource to learn about Clownfish care.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely excellent service by multiple staff members who all knew what they were doing and were genuinely in love with the hobby. They ordered in an unusual stock for me (a neon blue yabbie) and he arrived healthy, happy, and an even better colour than I hoped. 10/10. I'll be coming back here again.

Fantastic experience: Staff are very helpful and fantastic selection of plants and fish. Can be expensive, depends on what you're getting but always quality.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable staff and great products for both fresh water and salt water tanks. I would highly recommend checking this place out.

Fantastic experience: My mate Tim bought a massive fish tank and stand (cade 1800) from here, and called me and two other mates to help get it delivered and installed. We were met at the store by Andrew and Denis, who helped us load the trailer and put some of the kit on their Ute as well, then followed us back to the house (in Belconnen) to deliver/install all the gear. I was impressed at how helpful - and passionate - Andrew and Denis were, and how happy they made my mate by following through the sale with such an enthusiastic bedding in of the new system in his home. Anyway the thing is, I don’t know fish but I know people, and these guys compelled me to write this review on the back of that alone; a friendly, trustworthy team that can work collaboratively with their customer and bring a bucket load of passion with their craft. Refreshing and worthy of mention.

Fantastic experience: Quite an airy and brightly light aquarium shop. Their selection of plants was the among the best I've seen in CBR (although I didn't buy any). If you're using public transport, bear in mind, you'll need to plan in advance especially on the weekend.

Fantastic experience: Great staff who knows what they are talking about. Helped me a great deal in starting my saltwater hobby. Also, Clean and we'll stocked shop.

Fantastic experience: Recommended. The folk there know what thy are on about friendly . The variety of fish is great and if they dont have it, its highly likely they will get it in for you. The new store is much better than the last tiny room. They are usually busy with customers but allways worth the wait. My only problem is usually walking out after spending more than i planned. Allways spot something else i want.

Fantastic experience: Expert advice from genuine experts in the hobby. Bill is good and says yes. A fantastic selection of fresh and salt water stock. Beware of owners head.

Fantastic experience: Lovely collection of fishes! Nice, kind and polite staff who are always there to give you all the information that you are looking for..

Fantastic experience: I really like Canberra Marine. Andrew's a top bloke with a great approach to customer service. There's a pretty comprehensive range of both fish and accessories, but it's the coral that will no doubt grab your attention - the store displays are compelling viewing. Good luck, Andrew! Can't wait to see what the next few years brings for you.

Fantastic experience: What a great guy and what a great shop. If you want great advice and great prices then the passionate and knowledgeable owner is going to make your day- and save you a bundle.

Fantastic experience: The new store is really good! The guys who run it are very knowledgeable and will give the right advice

Fantastic experience: Great choice of fish! Well displayed and priced.

Fantastic experience: Extremely helpful and friendly service with healthy livestock and plants at a good price. Check out the Betta that I've got from Canberra Marine!

Fantastic experience: We just visited This afternoon and were given great advice to set up our new tank! We have acclimatised our two new fish as advised and fingers crossed we keep these two happy- we will be back for new fish next week and more advice! Thank you so much - incredibly patient and knowledgeable, exactly what we wanted!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. This is easily the best aquarium store I have been to.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff who know what they're talking about, and who are more than willing to help you with any fish queries you may have. An amazing range of coral as well

Fantastic experience: Have had another great experience at Canberra Marine today. Bill kindly spent over an hour with me explaining what sort of plants would do well in our first aquarium, and sharing his immense knowledge about salt water setups and coral. Only new to the hobby but very confident that any questions I have will be happily answered by Bill and his team.

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful staff.

Positive experience: Excellent service, the only thing that could be improved is to have more freshwater fish but then it is Canberra Marine - so my fault, I will they are increasing their stocks of freshwater stuff so look forward to buying freshwater exotics from them.

Fantastic experience: Andrew and Phil (Bill*) are legends, they always go above and beyond to make sure you're making the right decisions to have the best results for your aquarium :D CHUURS!

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful experience today seeking advice on our small set up at home. Knowledgeable and friendly service. Our guppies love their new light and plant. Thank you guys!
