23.01.2022 The fish are almost back. We have about 30 fish going through TTM at the moment that will be ready in about 10 days. You may have seen some posts around forums... lately about the AIAA Aquarium Industry Association of Australia raising funds to enable more species of fish to be added to the import list. We are going to donate $2.50 from every fish sold between now and the end of the year to this cause. More to come in a later post. Here are a few we have going through Tank Transfer Method of Quarantine at the moment. Excuse the poor photos.

14.01.2022 Australia has very strict bio security and quarantine measures for good reason when it comes to importing live aquarium fish and we have a very small list of allowable imports, just over 300 freshwater fish on this list. The Aquarium Industry Association of Australia AIAA members are working on improving this and we have recently launched an initiative to add more fish to the list. A quick update on funding this project and a shout out to the aquatic business’s that are ai...ming to make it possible to have new fish species readily available to the aquarium community.

04.01.2022 Let me introduce you to the first of our three world class judges for the Underwater Pet Expo National Aquascaping qualifying event brought to you by AIAA Aquar...ium Industry Association of Australia: Takayuki Fukada "I have been aquascaping from more than 15 years ago in Tokyo Japan. Currently I‘m a judge for aquascaping contests held all over the world and conduct workshops at exhibitions. Aquascape is a representation of the natural ecosystem in the tank. The world of plants and fish is very beautiful and impresses those who see it. My hope is many people around the world know the beauty of aquascape and actually enjoy it. So I believe that this hope can be realized by continuing to work with passion for this wonderful hobby." Takayuki Fukada's incredibly impressive list of achievements can be highlighted by his successes at the highly competitive IAPLC event: IAPLC2013 #2 Gold Prize IAPLC2014 #5 Bronze Prize IAPLC2015 #1 Grand Prize IAPLC2016 #1 Grand Prize IAPLC2018 #3 Silver Prize IAPLC2019 #2 Gold Prize Ready to have your aquascape judged by one of the worlds best?

01.01.2022 Underwater Pet Expo and AIAA would like to introduce you to our second, highly credentialed, international judge: Josh Sim "I started this hobby in 2008.

So i started to learn aquatic plants and from there, i got to know the legendary Takashi Amano and IAPLC, and the rest is history." Josh has created countless jaw dropping aquascapes and has had not shortage of success on the world stage: 2012 - AGA 1st 2013 - AGA 1st 2017 - IAPLC World Champion 2017 - IIAC World Champion 2017 - CIAC World Champion 2018 - IIAC World Champion 2019 - IAPLC World Champion Ready to have your own aquascape judged by Josh and our other international guests?
