Luke’s Tropical Fish

Registered Ornamental Fish Breeder
NW Tasmania

Sharing my passion for Freshwater Tropical Fish & Planted Aquariums.

Visitors welcome by appointment.
Tasmania Statewide Delivery available.


Quality tropical fish locally bred & raised in clean Tasmanian rain water & fully planted aquariums.

I’ve been keeping and breeding fish since I was 6 years old. A 3rd generation fish breeder taught by my father and late grandfather who have both passed on their knowledge and experience over the years.

While working as a landscaper in Darwin I contracted Ross River Virus in 2016 which resulted in permanent chronic fatigue rendering me disabled and being unable to work a normal job.

With over 35 years experience in the fish hobby as well as industry experience in aquaculture and ornamental fish farming, I thought it would be a good time to share my skills and knowledge now that I finally have time for breeding and raising fish
.

This is now my main hobby which keeps me busy when I have the energy to do so. I don’t see any profit from this and all my time is donated. All sales are re-invested back into the hobby and help pay the hefty power bill, fish foods, meds, fertilisers, equipment etc.

My focus is to produce a small selection of high quality fish, directly to the local Tasmanian community with a massively reduced carbon footprint.

I keep and breed a selection of smaller, often harder to find and breed fish species such as Apistogramma and Ram Dwarf Cichlids, various Tetras, Corydoras catfish, small Plecos as well as Endlers Livebearers, Platy, Rainbowfish and other occasional oddities and experiments for fun.

I breed and raise my fish in established aquarium ecosystems with growing plants that help naturally filter the water.

I provide a varied and balanced diet including as much live food as possible to compliment the best quality frozen and dried foods I can find along with providing constant water changes and careful monitoring of each fish.

> CURRENT & FUTURE STOCK <

Strong healthy fish raised in pristine natural Tasmanian
rain water at a Ph of 6.5-7 & lush planted aquariums simulating the natural environments of the flooded Amazon Rainforest & the Creeks and Rivers of Australasia.

I only sell the best fish I have in stock and I won’t let any fish go that is below par.

Guarantee on high quality healthy fish!

Feel free to ask me about tips on how to keep your new fish alive, growing and thriving.

  1. Luke has been a great source of information. His knowledge from years in the aquarium industry means his fish are well sourced and well cared for. He’s local and easy to access and the fish I have received from him have been quarantined and stabilised before he hands them on. I’ll definitely buy from him again.

  2. I have purchased fish from Luke and found the experience a personable and professional one. He is extremely knowledgeable operator and a wealth of knowledge. I would look forward to purchasing again !

  3. Where do I start? Right from the first contact Luke has gone above and beyond. Making recommendations, offering alternatives and being more than generous with help and advice. His love of the fish he stocks shows in the quality of what he supplied and the photos do not do the fish justice. They are healthy, vibrant and truly well bred and cared for, you’d be hard pressed to find better fish anywhere in Australia! When it came to shipping Luke did everything he could to ensure his fish were sent in the best condition with the best chance of arriving in top condition. He followed up regularly and provided plenty of updates with tracking and checking in to see how the fish arrived. The colours of the fish cannot be overstated and that I believe comes down to how well they were cared for.
    If you are on the fence about ordering, don’t be, click away, you won’t be disappointed!
    Thanks mate, I’ll be back for plenty more!
