Isaac “Hayes” Hamer

Isaac’s interest in an aquarium career started with collecting tadpoles at the tender age of 4. Being of marine biology heritage, he soon graduated into the competitive cichlid breeding and trading arena in which he has never grown out of. After having to turn down his first big break, a job offer from a large aquarium store, because of his young age, his spirit was broken and he decided to pursue another career path.  Many years later, his scars had healed and he decided to realign his heart with his true destiny and now is a valuable and enthusiastic member of the Aquadisiac team. He won employee of the month status in his first ever shift, after staff and customers alike were hypnotised by his handsomeness and soulful voice. Never before has such an amazing feat been achieved.

Ryan “Frog” Walton

Frog’s final destiny was written during his infancy: to own his own aquarium shop. As a grubby 5-year-old, he constantly rummaged through the bushland in thongs in search of any animal or plant he could trade for cash. He would then beg his mother until she agreed to drive him around every aquarium store in Sydney looking for any rare underwater creature he could add to his ever-growing collection. This obsession never wavered. He gained work experience at Taronga Zoo and the Australian Museum, feeding his obsession for more. Storage of his collection soon became an issue when his mother told him to ship out and take his tanks with him. Despite this, he proceeded to rent a space across the road from her house (the Gaslight Inn wouldn’t let him set it up in the pub), and he and his mate Scott started Aquadisiac, serving as a constant reminder to his beloved mother how much time and effort she’d put into his obsession.

Katy “The Mouse Pusher” Jenkins

Katy’s obsession with fish came to her later in life. She was actually subliminally coaxed into becoming a mouse pusher from a young age, with her mother buying her an array of mouse-based books and movies such as Angelina Ballerina and Danger Mouse.  She went on to become an award-winning mouse breeder and engineer, being presented with top honours at the Sydney Royal Easter Show with mice from her very own Zen Mousery. She then morphed her love of mouse pushing and cartoon characters to study 3D Modelling and Animation. Her first foray into aquatic life was during her studies, when she got an axolotl, most likely as it looks like a mouse. Her quest for knowledge sent her deep into the internet to learn about underwater and plant life, and has never been proven wrong since. As a matter of fact she will challenge anybody with vigour if they try to defy her deep knowledge of the entire universe and its workings. Need help with your aquarium? No better person to ask than Katy!

Scott "Two-Shoes" Goodwin

Scott’s childhood was filled with animals of all types. He grew up in a household zoo, and although he couldn’t take any animals with him when he moved out of home, as soon as he could afford it, he bought himself a cat. This started his tradition of naming his pets bizarre things – with highlights such as Lentil Burger the dog-cat named after a vegetarian flatmate’s BBQ delights. His quest for employment on the different side saw him work as a freight sorter, balloon artist and the token straight barman at the Taxi Club. When the time was right, Scott found a mate, and spawned, producing a litter of 3 girls. After many hours at the Gaslight Inn contemplating their future, Scott thought that if he was so good at raising humans that fish would be a cinch, so over a few beers, he and Ryan decided to open the bestest aquarium in the universe and Surry Hills. They shared a love of animals of all types, with reptiles, amphibians and fish being top of the list. Their shared love produced a beautiful thing with Aquadisiac soon becoming the jewel of the community.
