About Melbourne Tropical

Melbourne Tropical is Australia's growing resource for tropical fishkeeping, aquascaping and aquarium care. We exist to help Australian aquarists — from first-time betta keepers to experienced aquascapers — set up and maintain thriving, healthy aquariums.

What we offer

We publish free aquarium calculators, in-depth fish species care guides, disease identification and treatment resources, aquatic plant profiles and aquascaping tutorials. Everything is written with Australian water conditions, climate and product availability in mind.

Our promise

Our content is practical, tested and free. We aim to be accurate and up to date, but our guides are general information only and are not a substitute for professional veterinary advice. This is an information-only website — we do not sell fish, equipment or livestock.
