Fish
Keeping fish in a stunning aquarium can be a fantastic feature of any house or office. At night they gently bubble away, beautifully lit whilst you sit back and watch. At Pails for Scales Unique Pets, we have an enormous range of tropical, cold water, pond and now marine fish. In store you'll find many different sized aquariums, complete with stands and lighting.
If you're a first time aquarium keeper, we'll set you up with a complete package to ensure a trouble free experience. If you already know your stuff, then come see our great deals on PH balancers, testing kits, fish stock and all of the equipment needed. We also sell live foods for fish!
Now, we've added marine to our portfolio. The store stocks everything you need from salt, skimmers, filters, rock, shell sand... you name it. Remember, if you need something in particular, then just ask.
We no longer stock Marine Fish, however orders can be taken for Marine fish by Monday for stock to arrive Friday. A small deposit is required.
Pails for Scales now operates an aquarium cleaning and maintenance service, meaning we can come to your home, office or even school/kindergarten to make sure your aquarium is up to scratch. If you've ever thought that your office would look great with a beautiful display tank, we can offer tailor made installations at very competitive prices... contact us on 03 5339 3887.

We are 1/2 way through revamping our fish tanks. Once we have finished we will have 120 fish tanks in total - meaning more range of fish as well as plants.
The new Fighter Fish Display Tank is now up and running!
Don't forget when first purchasing your fish to float them in the bag for about 10-15 minutes before slowly releasing them into the tank. This helps them to climatise to the change in water temperature as well as variations in water levels
