We are here to Help You look after your favourite pet or to encourage you to find a lifelong, loving pet to comfort you

Owner Malcolm Rehren has set up, owned and operated this business in Hervey Bay since 2008. His experience stems from a love of Aquarium fish and is considered an expert in his field, breeding fish for in excess of 14 years.
His knowledge & experience led him to be the Proprietor of Absolutely Fish & Pets

Malcolm has developed a World of Pets here in Hervey Bay striving to provide great service and advice to their customers for the betterment of their pets.

As owner-operator in our world of pets, he is a local resident, completing his
education at Maryborough High. Having constant appreciation in this field, the store that has relocated and grown is one pet store that for many years, boasts knowing most of its client/customers by name.

It’s more than a pet store, it’s your destination for all types of furry, fluffy, feathered,
not so fluffy friends.  Malcolm just loves Fish & Live corals.
