     Kawartha Aquariums establishes a set hourly rate based on the specific needs of you and your aquarium. Travel fees are charged based on the aquarium location from Peterborough. Additional charges for materials are added as necessary. We work without contracts however a waiver must be signed.

    To explain our rates, services options and to answer all of your questions and concerns, we provide a 20-30 min consultation at the location of the aquarium with no obligation. Our consultation time is provided FREE, however a travel fee is charged to those located outside of Peterborough. If you would like a quote over the phone or e-mail please go to the 'Contact Us' page on the web site.


Do it Yourself Lessons

    This hands on, interactive session covers all aspects of aquarium maintenance in your own home or office setting. This is the best way for beginners to become experienced and confident aquarium keepers. Two, hour long educational appointments are recommended, as it can be a lot of information to take in at once, and the entire aquarium should never be cleaned at one time. 

    Learn about the Nitrogen cycle, the easiest ways to clean your aquarium properly, basic fish diseases and treatments, how to deal with algae, equipment and livestock recommendations and much much more.

    We cannot recommend these lessons highly enough for individuals who are just beginning into the aquarium hobby. Please learn from our experience! There have been too many that are turned away from this incredibly rewarding and enjoyable hobby and too many unnecessary fish losses, simply from a lack of knowledge and experience. 

$60.00 per lesson
(this does not included travel fee, materials charge or HST)


Aquarium Relocations

If you are moving or need to relocate a tank for any reason we can do it for you. Most people have no idea how much is involved to move an aquarium without fish loss!

Rates are based on the number of people needed to move the aquarium and the locations they are moving to and from. Please contact us for the most accurate quote and note that we need at least 1 week notice for relocations (earlier if possible).

For up to 2, 20 gallon tanks (only 1 staff is needed)
 = $70/hr.

For single or more than 2 tanks over 20 gallons (2 staff)
 = $85/hr.                         

In particular cases where 3 staff are needed
= $110/hr.



Pond Services

We do it all, from spring openings to autumn closings, mechanical maintenance, fish husbandry, landscaping and all things pond related.

We encourage planting local flora to grow in our ponds and can help pick out the best for your landscaping. Our pond experts are unafraid to dig in, get a bit dirty and enjoy the great outdoors to give you the best pond your outdoor space has to offer.

Our pond appointments including all openings and closings are done with 2 staff members to ensure all work is completed in a timely manner and is done safely. On top of hourly rates, we charge a travel fee based out of Peterborough.

$85/hr for 2 staff members, plus travel fee and materials used

TESTIMONIALS

"I appreciate the professionalism that Kawartha Aquariums offers when it comes to my fish tank and my fish pond. When my tank sprang a leak, they responded within the hour and saved my fish. They looked after my fish and the tank warranty with no questions asked. They took all the headache out of the situation. Sheila does an excellent job working on my tank and Laura does an excellent job on my pond. As always, Deanna makes herself available whenever needed. Thank you ladies."
