# Aquarium & Fish Shops in Singapore

Fish shops in Singapore that keep or display fish for sale need an AVS pet shop licence, and AVS sets specific licence conditions for shops selling fancy fish. Check the shop on AVS's public registry of licensed pet shops, and ask about quarantine of new stock before buying fish for an established tank.

## Key facts
- Listings: 51
- Median years in business: 9

## Licences
- **Pet shop licence (fancy fish conditions)** (Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), NParks, required): Premises that keep or display pets for sale, including ornamental fish, must be licensed. Applicants complete mandatory pet welfare training and are inspected. Check: https://avs.nparks.gov.sg/outreach/resources/public-registry-of-avs-licensed-pet-shops/

## How to choose
- Look for clear, well-filtered tanks and staff who can tell you each species' adult size, temperament and water needs.
- Ask how long new arrivals are quarantined before sale; diseases spread quickly into home tanks.
- For aquascaping or large builds, ask for an itemised quote covering the tank, stand, filtration, lighting, CO2 and maintenance visits.
- Avoid releasing unwanted fish or plants into drains, ponds or reservoirs. Rehome them through the shop or other hobbyists.

## FAQs
### Do aquarium shops need a licence in Singapore?
Yes, if they keep or display animals for sale. AVS's pet shop licence covers all pets for sale, and AVS publishes separate licence conditions for shops selling fancy fish. You can check a shop on AVS's public registry of licensed pet shops.

### Can I bring ornamental fish into Singapore?
Importing ornamental fish is regulated by AVS, which has a dedicated import procedure for ornamental fish. Check AVS's requirements before buying fish overseas, and buy locally from a licensed shop if you are unsure.

### Can I keep fish in an HDB flat?
Yes. HDB's pet limits apply to cats and dogs (up to two cats and one approved small-breed dog), not to aquarium fish. Make sure a large tank's weight is safely supported and that you can manage water changes without leaks to the unit below.
