About Us

Aquatic Creations

Aquatic Creations is owned and operated by myself, Nardus Bothma. Having always possessed a passion for aquatic life and ecosystems, I started my career in the aquarium industry at the age of 13 working during weekends in retail at one of my hometown’s best aquarium specialists.

Five years of retail experience allowed me to gain huge amounts of knowledge and confidence in fish-keeping, aquarium set-ups, filtration systems, product knowledge, installations, diseases and disease prevention, and much more. I established Aquatic Creations in 2009. Since then, the business has expanded and grown successfully due to customer satisfaction and ongoing positive referrals.

Keeping healthy, well maintained aquariums and ponds is my expertise and my passion. My love of fish and marine life has taken me all a cross SA and the UK to study them and to gain a broader knowledge of the industry. I have made many long-term friendships with clients and associates that makes my passion (Business) such a true blessing!
