The Staff of Morley Aquariums

The owners

Paul and Janet Slabbert established Morley Aquariums, and to this day still own and personally manage the store. Their interests run as diverse as exotic tropical fishes, African and American cichlids, axolotls, goldfish and Australian native fishes. No matter what piece of information you need on whatever type of fish or setup, Paul or Janet can help you. Paul also has vast experience with disease prevention and treatment in aquatic animals.
