Tropical fish keeping is an immensely popular hobby, not

least because of the huge variety of fish that are available.

We have over 100 freshwater aquariums, each of at least 20 gallons capacity. These are backed up by a large number of quarantine tanks, which enable us to ensure that our display tanks are fully stocked with healthy fish at all times. Most sales tanks contain at least three or four varieties of fish, all clearly labelled with computer generated labels, which as well as the common name and price of the fish, include further information such as scientific name, date of arrival to our premises, approximate maximum size, plus other information on compatibility and natural country of origin. Most also have a colour photograph of the fish in question, to aid identification. We have introduced new improved labels, which also feature a number of easily read icons, giving a quick and easy visual guide as to the ease of care, compatibility and other general requirements for the fish concerned.

All our staff are keen and experienced fishkeepers, keen to share their experience and advice. Our range of equipment is extensive but for the beginner we also offer aquarium packages which contain everything that is required to start off on the right foot in this fascinating hobby. When you buy an aquarium from us, we give you a discount card which gives you 5% discount off all purchases and is valid for a whole 12 months. For further advice on selecting fish for your aquarium and a detailed explanation of the information icons used on our labels, please see the Choosing your fish page.
