Visit here often as I have 3 tropical fish tanks. Staff are great, shop is always clean and presentable. Would like to see more variation of stock but I can imagine they are selling what sells well for them so no judgement. Great place.

I recently bought a great selection of strong and healthy pond plants at a reasonable price. The picture included is me disinfecting them with PP before I put them in my Koi pond. But it's there to show you how many colourful options they had available. Their knowledgeable staff will also give you recommendations and advice.

Excellent service, plants and fish. Can't recommend enough!
Edit: Can I give more than 5 stars please? They continue to offer even better service, as they do also deliver locally, and continue to offer good and accurate advice.
