If you keep fish or want buy fish, this is the best shop to visit. Stephen will give good advice on Tropical, Salt water or Fish for your Garden pond. Huge choice of everything you need. Well worth a visit.

Have been to few aquatic shops and must review this one. My godness where do I start? Should be called Fish Dead not Fish Alive. Alot of the tanks had dead fish in, which I know a few are to be expected, but the amount in the tanks was more than the usual. There where 3 big tanks containing large fish. The one in the till area had 4 large Severums in that were marked as sold and paid for, 2 of them had a bad case of Ich. In the same tank there was an big Arowana that was far too big for that tank, as a result he wasn't moving around and looked an unhappy fish! The other big tank, at the back of the shop contained Oscars and a group Clown loach. The Clown Loach had nowhere to hide and were very pale and stressed as a result. In one of the smaller tanks there was a group of Talking Catfish, again with nowhere to hide, which considering they are nocturnal fish that prefer to hide during the day and come out at night is cruel. There is a picture of about a 2.5ft tank containing about 9 medium sized fish and a huge Pleco, again over crowded tanks leaving not enough space to move around. The Pleco needed a tank atleast 3 times the size it was in!!! It was upsetting to see the fish in these conditions. The treatment of the fish in this shop is poor and it's apparent they do not care about the welfare of the them, it's all about making money. The prices are extortionate too, on average they were nearly double compared to everywhere else.

Always got time for a chat and will always give great tips and advice. I travel a 40 mile round trip to this shop , its that good . Ive kept fish on and off for over 30 years , Others have risen and fallen but fish alive has always been there.

Amazing fish! Have a great range of cold water, tropical and marine fish. Most I havemt seen in other aquatic stores. Good selection of tanks and accessories. Knowledgeable staff. Would definitely recommend.
