😠 My partner brought fish online from here 10 in total. Sad to say they all arrived dead on arrival. No hope from seller until I said i was going to leave a bad review of my experience, then they offered a full refund. Wonder if any of the good reviews are actually true. Very disappointing service. People often mention fish, good, shop, helpful, friendly, shrimp, dead, service, staff, recommend,

    Ordered live animals on line from this place. Unfortunately item ordered arrived dead on arrival. Sent photo to sellers to basically be told its still alive (you can see clearly its dead on photo). Very poor service no refund or replacement offered. Wont think about ordering from here again. Previous review got removed on google so have put it up again!!..

    I can't understand some of the negative reviews. I collected an order from the shop and have no complaints. Staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Prices are good and stock looks happy and healthy. Maybe some negative reviews come from the competition? I will be using this business again in the near future.

    Got a well cute fish other fish well happier now he's got a friend. The fish got is beyond cute and the kids love it. Thanks Edit unfortunately after a week the fish died. My other fish is perfectly fine though that came from a fair, and the water tested ok aswell. A few days ago I noticed this fish was on the bottom of the tank a lot though and never seemed to improve. Oh well RIP not the stores fault fish do die...

    After a couple of visits to this shop, and loads of helpful advice. . I purchased over a couple of weeks my Goldfish, after being advised to add them a few at a time. My tank is now set up and im totally happy and more importantly so are my Fish. I would highly recommend a visit for all your aquatic needs . In a very friendly and easy going atmosphere . Well done to you all and thanks again Helen and Mark Knowles

  • 5/5 peter f. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered over the phone, the man I spoke to was very helpful and friendly and from what I understood, it is a family business, I ordered 5 blue diamond shrimp and a white wizard snail, they arrived really well packaged the very next day, one of the shrimp was dead but the other four shrimp and the snail are healthy, I phoned them back up to thank them for my order and told them about the one dead shrimp, they were apologetic and offered a replacement with my next order which I was very thankful for, not everyone has a dead on arrival policy and I know it's always a bit of a gamble posting livestock, I will definately be using these guys again, I wish I lived closer so I could visit the shop!

  • 5/5 Pete T. 10 months ago on Google β€’ 3 reviews
    Always happy to help and advise, fish and inverts are always in good health, showing good colour and very active. Would happily recommend Little Marina to new or experienced customers, but if I don’t get a 75% discount on my next visit this will be getting replaced with a no star review : πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Pete the Pester
