Software Solutions for Aquarium and Fish Supply Sellers
Aquarium retail begins with the tank. Filters, heaters and lights are sized to its volume, and fish must suit each other and the water. Sellers online need a tank-first guide, equipment fit rules, water-test and treatment products, and, for those who sell live fish, arrival handling.
Size equipment to the tank, check species compatibility and handle live-stock arrivals.
A buyer asks what a forty-litre tank needs. The store should answer with a filter, a heater and a light that suit it, not with a catalogue.
Aquarium specialists
A shop sells tanks, equipment, food and treatments, and may keep live fish and plants.
Equipment brands
A maker sells filters, heaters and lighting direct and answers questions on fit.
Livestock sellers and breeders
A seller dispatches live fish or plants on set days and handles arrival problems.
The workflow for fish & aquarium supplies.
- 1
Tank described first
A buyer enters tank volume and type, and the store narrows its equipment to what fits.
- 2
Equipment checked
Filters, heaters and lights list the tank sizes they suit, as fields.
- 3
Species compatibility shown
Each animal lists water parameters and companions. The store warns when a basket mixes unlike species.
- 4
Livestock held and dispatched
Live animals are held in labelled tanks, packed for transit and sent only on days the carrier allows.
- 5
Arrival checked
A buyer reports arrival condition within a window, with a photograph, and the claim is assessed.
The challenges, and what they cost.
What is specific to this trade.
These are requirements we would confirm in discovery. They describe what the solution may need to handle. They are not features that already exist.
- Tank volume linked to equipment fit
- Water parameters and companions held per species
- Livestock counted by holding tank with a loss record
- Dispatch days and an arrival-claim window set by you
What we would build for fish & aquarium supplies.
Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.
Who works in the system, and what each can do.
What it would connect to.
An integration is confirmed only after its API, access and scope are checked. A connection that updates on a schedule is described as scheduled, not real-time.
- Equipment datasheets, loaded by file
- Carriers that move live goods, after a trial shipment on each
- Photo upload for claims, stored with the order
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- Your equipment range with fit data
- Whether you sell live animals and on which days
- Your current arrival policy
Gather the fit rules
Fit rules for equipment are taken from makers’ data and checked by someone who keeps aquariums.
Trial the dispatch days
A few live orders are shipped through the new flow to test timing and claim handling before wider use.
What you receive.
- A tank-first guide
- Compatibility and water-parameter fields
- A livestock register and dispatch calendar
- An arrival claim flow
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Equipment returned for wrong size
- Arrival claims closed within the window
Selling at home and abroad.
Buyers abroad ask whether livestock can travel to them at all. Which animals may be sent, and under what conditions, depends on the country and the carrier, and is not decided by the software.
The wider requirements for pet supplies are on the Pet Supplies page.

No existing GullySystem product holds tank-based equipment fit or live-animal holding, so this is written for the purpose. A commerce platform may still carry the storefront.

Can the store stop incompatible fish going in one basket?
It can warn or block using the compatibility rules you enter. The accuracy of those rules is yours to confirm with an expert.
Do you handle selling live fish?
Yes, as part of this solution, where you are permitted to sell them. Rules differ by place, and your adviser decides what applies.
Can it sell equipment only?
Yes. The livestock register and dispatch calendar are switched off, and the tank-first guide remains.
