Ponds
With coming of winter it is now too cold to introduce fish to outdoor ponds.
If you have an indoor pond, or indoor holding facilities we still have a reasonable range of Goldfish, Koi, etc. These will be over-wintered and available for sale for outdoor ponds once the weather warms up in Spring 2005.
We still have a moderate selection of pond plants at 20% off. Although these will make little growth this year, if planted out now, they will be already established and ready to spring into growth with the coming of Spring.

Tropicals
Our selection of tropical fish at the moment is excellent, including several species we're not seen before!
Our aim is to always have something for everyone, to that end as well as the usual community species we also try to keep a good stock of rarely seen community fish, as well a few "tankbusters" and specialist species.
Unusual community species include

several different species of Rasboras, including R. kalachroma, Mosquito rasbora, plus R. borapelensis & R. axelrodi (not shown)

About eight species of rainbows including some lovely Melanotaenia praecox (left). M. lacustris, M. herbertaxelrodi and several others.

Most gobies are brackish or saltwater species. the peacock goby - Tateurdina occilicauda is a true freshwater species. Other gobies in stock include three species of brackish water gobies - mudskippers, knight gobies (not shown) and dragon gobies.

Other brackish species in stock include Green & Orange chromides, Archers, Monos, Celebes rainbows and bumble bee gobies

We currently have some fine small discus including "Lion Pigeon" & "Blue Denim" varieties shown on the left.

We have over 20 different varieties of plecos in stock including the fine specimens shown here.

Finally in no particular order we have a very cute Mbu puffer, but be warned, if you fall in love with him you'll need a big tank; Mbu puffers can grow to over two foot long!

Other fish likely to need a large tank include
Albino Polypterus & Sorobim lima (not shown)

Others worthy of mention include
Pikeheads Luciocephalus pulcher, a beautiful but predatory fish -see below

Some nice pencil fish, blushing sharks and A. heckelli

Plus many, many more.

Coldwater Aquarium Fish
We've just received a delivery of nice Chinese fancy goldfish. Once quarantined, these should be on sale in the next couple of weeks. Other coldwater aquarium fish in stock include Denisoni Barbs (which will also do well in tropical tanks - providing the temperature is not too high) and rainbow dace

Marines
Our selection of marine fish is, even by our standards, excellent at present. We will however be running stocks of fish down towards the end of November. This is to allow us to install a new reservoir for the fish system. Stocks of corals and other invertebrates will not be affected by this work, and fish stocks should return to normal by early December. All the fish shown in the photos below were in stock on 11-11-2004.

Remember - this page is not a comprehensive stock list, it is intended to give a flavour of the variety & quality of our ever changing stocks.
