A nice well stocked aquatic center based in a garden center. A good range of equipment and fish at reasonable prices. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. They also sell the odd piece of second hand equipment .

Visited today ...what a hidden gem for fish keepers ...plenty of pond fish and a good selection of tropicals considering most places are struggling to get stock due to the dreaded covid .. Large selection of dry goods and very helpful and pleasant staff ... couldn't be happier with the service I received ... Would highly recommend.
