Where To Buy Marine Fish in The Klang Valley

October 13, 2009

During the 2 month or so I spent researching before buying setting up my saltwater aquarium, I spent lots of time reading the forums and visiting the local fish shops (LFS). For easy reference of other beginners, here’s a list of shops that sell marine / saltwater fish and equipment in the PJ/SJ/Puchong area that I have personally visited.

First of all, you may know of a aquarium / LFS near your house, but the thing to note is that NOT ALL aquariums sell saltwater/marine fish, they usually ONLY sell freshwater fish. Actually very few of these shops actually sell saltwater fish because of the expertise required.

The second thing to note is that besides LFS, some pet stores sell saltwater fish, too, especially the larger ones. Pet Stores are as the name implies – they sell all kinds of pets and pet paraphenalia. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and also fish.

Now that we’ve got that clear, let me list the LFS first:

Oceanic Aquarium
Where: Behind the Chinese temple in Taman Bukit Kuchai, Puchong
Call: 03-80702273
This is where i bought my tank from and it has one of the best range of equipment that I’ve seen. Their are cheap and variety is excellent. The boss is very knowledge and pretty honest.

Aquatropics Aquarium
Where: Opposite Petronas in Jalan Anggerik Eria, Kota Kemuning
Call: 012-2817188
Recently moved from Anggerik Vanilla to the new shop here. So far this place has the best selection of fish (they even have the Moorish Idol) and its where i bought my fish from. However, limited equipment here. Boss is a nice guy.

Marine Fresh Aquarium
Where: new shophouses near CIMB Bank, The Strand Damansara
Call: 019-3847019
Recently moved from Damansara Utama. Quite good equipment and fish available.

Eco Sealife Aquarium
Where: Behind Columbia Asia Hospital in Bandar Puteri Puchong
Call: 012-2817188
Same owner as Aquatropics, decent selection of equipment, but not many fish.

Pusat Akuarium Batu Karang Laut
Where: Same row as EON Bank SS15 Subang Jaya, facing apartments
Call: 03-5633 1743
Has got the best selection of corals and live rock, fish and equipment selection not bad, too.

There’s another small aquarium at Bandar Kinrara BK5, can’t remember the name, signboard has a big shark. Not many fish, but they have two awesome sharks on display.

And now some decent petstores:

88 Marine Aquarium Centre in SunwayMas
Where: One of the inside roads of SunwayMas. Got big sign one.
Call: no idea. Website has a trojan horse.
This is a pet shop, and its pretty big. They even have a fish spa upstairs. If you want to get everything at one place, check it out.

Pet Safari
Where: Ikano Power Center.
Call: 03-7724 1578
The biggest pet store in Malaysia, but the substore that specializes in fish products is run by East Aqua. Its also one of the most expensive places to buy stuff here, but the range is quite impressive.

Pets Wonderland
Where: MidValley, Great Eastern Mall, Subang Parade.
Call: 03-8024 9508
I’m sure you’ve been to one of their branches. Nice place to gawk at the pedigree cats and dogs.

    Hey, if you are an avid Marine Aquarist, I am trying to sell of my corals and clams. You see, I’m leaving to America in 2011 permanently, however, I have like many acroporas, soft corals, and tons of nice big clams at my house’s marine aquarium. It would be a pity for me to dispose of them, but I have yet to find anyone who would buy my corals from me. Don’t worry, I’m selling my acropora for RM50, so you can imagine how cheap the other stuff are. I really need to dispose of my marine livestock. ASAP

    So, this is Darren Nah,

    Please take the livestock from me, I don’t want to kill them.
