Fish keepers say........

"Great products, Australian owner and supplier. I’m more into the African Rift Lake buffers, they do exactly as they say, very easy to use and if you have any problems (which is very unlikely) you can get to talk to the man who makes them. I’d be surprised if you can get that service on any other brand. Good stuff. Five Stars."

  • The Aqua-Pics Story

    Scott Haymes, owner of Aqua-Pics, has been an avid fish keeper for over 50 years.  By the age of nine, he was already breeding and selling fish, and by his teens he was breeding cichlids, including some very rare species. This early fascination sparked his career in the aquarium industry.

  • From twelve years of being mentored by cichlid expert Heinze Straude, to State Sales Manager positions for large aquarium wholesalers, to running his own retail aquariums, Scott's experience has been vast and varied.

    When he wasn’t at work, Scott continued keeping and breeding
    fish as a hobby, focusing particularly on rare cichlids.

  • But it was difficult to find accurate information on keeping such fish in the 1980s and 90s, and the commercially available range of conditioners and buffers proved woefully inadequate.

    So Scott embarked on a mission to research and develop his own formulas and began building what is today the Aqua-Pics range of products.

Meet the Maker

“I have always been a fish keeper first and a business man second, and I will continue to build and improve my products to make fish keeping easier for everybody, elevating the hobby, and helping to create many more successful fish keepers. 

I am very proud to have a premium range of products made right here in Australia.”
