    Great little aquatics shop. I feel privileged to have seen this place grow from the proprietors' back garden, to their current premises. Dedicated to making the hobby as environmentally friendly as possible, they have a range of natural products to help keep your aquarium in top condition. A good and growing selection of fish, shrimp and axolottle are in stock, with more available to order. Happy to share their broad range of fishkeeping knowledge and experience, the keepers are always friendly and welcoming. If you're an experienced fish keeper, or just thinking of settings up your first tank, this is the first place I would recommend. Always worth a visit!

    I’ve been a customer for a while now, and I have been really impressed with the dedication and expertise of the business. They made the process of setting my first tank enjoyable and relatively simple (with really good advice on how to set up and stock the tank, at affordable prices). But even better, they were always willing to give me advice and support if I needed it. They’re passionate about supporting you in the hobby, and about the welfare of their livestock. Can’t recommend them enough!

    100% would recommend. Very good prices, fish look happy and none have died since purchasing them just under a week ago. Would recommend for first time buyers look to start an aquarium, just wish they did salt water fish, but hey can't ask for everything. Customer service 10 out of 10. Ill be coming back in the future.

    Been far and wide in the search for good aquatics centers and though there are a few I hold in high regards, this lil hidden gem down a back road in rotherham of all places is by far the best, beautiful lay out, healthy, happy fish, super friendly and helpful staff and more plants, tanks and products than you could shake a fish at (they have lots of them too) me, my partner and my dad who all keep fish, in both ponds and tanks will be back again for any and all of our needs for the foreseeable future. :)

    Awesome aquascape shop with a lovely selection of fish. The hard scape products were such a good price and the guys who we spoke to were really nice and gave us great info on products we asked about. Thank you again and hope to be back soon for new scapes!

  • 5/5 Ej Purple M. 2 years ago on Google
    Popped in today...What a great little shop!. Fully loaded with quality fish keeping products, great looking fish on the tanks. I also had some great advice from the chap there. Really helped me out. Will definitely return for some fish and supplies again.

  • 5/5 Niamh K. 2 years ago on Google
    Decided to branch out into aquatics after a lifetime of reptile & invertebrate keeping. I’ve popped into Sustainable Aquatics twice now; the first time to pick up some spiderwood and new tank solution, and the second time to pick up a couple of assassin snails in order to combat the bladder snail epidemic my new plants (from elsewhere) had brought with them. During both visits I was given exceptional advice by both gents who seemed more than happy to help with my sometimes silly questions. I’ve come home with the assassin snails I set out for, and a healthy & beautiful betta fish to add to my first community tank. Reasonable prices, healthy & happy stock, & fantastic owners. It makes me so happy to see an aquatics shop who genuinely and consistently care for their stock!

  • 5/5 Neil C. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic store Lee is a great guy, knowledgeable and friendly Can't wait to go back soon

  • 5/5 Jessica K. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely little shop, great variety of fish, snails and shrimp. Bought myself some killi fish this time and I'll definitely be popping back. Very friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Amy R. 2 years ago on Google
    We couldn't recommend Sustainable Aquatics any more. It really is a brilliant shop. They are simple, modern, tidy and extreamly clean. The fish look like they are looked after and they always have a good selection. They take the difficulty out of picking equipment too, they only stock a few varieties of each product (in which they know works well and can be trusted). The staff are brilliant - we have spent hours asking questions and they have helped answer all of our questions .They were polite and patient. So pleased we found it. A hidden gem 💎

  • 5/5 Damien C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very helpful gang! Great selection of outdoor plants and koi. Just what I needed for my pond. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 delgirl 1. 2 years ago on Google

    HAD AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! my first time going too these guys and helped me so much on what I needed for my fish tank as I am new too fish keeping Thankyou Carl And Lee

  • 1/5 Brandon 1 year ago on Google
    Overrated. Wasn't worth the 20mile drive, called before hand to ask if they had the fish I wanted. Was told "yes we have loads" got there and they didn't have a single one. Shop is a lot smaller than what you would first expect. Definitely overrated (edited: was sustainable aquatics I'm referring too)

  • 5/5 Anr 8. 2 years ago on Google
    Hi was working and finished early so googled aquatics near me and came up with sustainable aquatics so nipped in. It's a fantastic shop a bit like alladins cave and the guy who helped me was fantastic will definitely go back as everything was fairly priced and not a rip off like most of the other places visited. WELL DONE guys 👍👍 see you soon and thankyou.

  • 5/5 Terry S. 1 year ago on Google

    I went for the first time yesterday. The best aquatic place in Rotherham. The staff are lovely and really helpful. It is a bit of a pain to find if you don't know where it is but well worth it. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Martin K. 11 months ago on Google
    Wow what a little gem of a shop. The pond plants are in stunning condition in fact the whole shop is in fantastic condition. I didn't take any pictures inside as you need to see this place for yourself. Very good prices and very helpful staff. Some of the larger chain stores could learn a lot from this place. Thanks for your assistance guys. I will definitely be visiting again.

  • 5/5 Diane K. 11 months ago on Google
    A small out of the way aqutics shop on an industrial estate that is really worth a visit. Very good prices on pond plants (which looked very healthy and cared for)pond supplies competatively priced, a very well set up and cared for business. All their aquariums were not overstocked and the water crystal clear, also had some adorable tiny baby axalotls! The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We have earmarked another visit to select our plants for our to be constructed pond.

  • 5/5 Karl Mitchell (. 1 year ago on Google
    What a wonderful little gem of an aquatics shop - really glad we popped over today. Initially just for a look but ended up bringing back some hardscape for my tank that has been sitting in our lounge empty since January! The aesthetic is very warm and friendly - the use of wood panelling really suits the environment as do the detailed hessian sacks on the roof ... trust me on this one! It just feels right! Love the way you have detailed basic FAQ's on the tank stands - my wife found it really interesting to read and encouraged her curiosity! I feel there may be another tank on the way soon ... The plant section was well stocked - have my eye on a few species I haven't seen before. Carl and Lee helped us to make an informed decision with our selection and we are sure to pop back up soon :) Great work guys!!

  • 5/5 Tracy D. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Corbs C. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing shop would reccomend too anyone that is local or that is willing too learn or need advice about fish, customer service is also very helpful and will not go anywhere else Thankyou guys!

  • 5/5 Vicki H. 3 years ago on Google
    The best tropical fish shop we've ever been to! We will never shop anywhere else. Sustainable Aquatics are very reasonable in terms of prices and they have a huge range of fish, plants, tanks, decor and other useful items for your tank. The shop is clean and very spaced out and the guys are very knowledgeable and will always go above and beyond to help you. You get a nice welcoming vibe as soon as you enter the shop and we always come away extremely satisfied. You will not be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Kerry D. 3 years ago on Google
    So pleased we found them. Amazing service. Bought tank last week and were meant to be filling this week but had to self isolate. Not only did they help advise my 12 year old what to get to get started they delivered it so he could still get his fish in as planned. Couldn't ask for more. Brilliant thank you so much. #shoplocal #friendlyfacts #extramile

    I really like this shop, its not huge but the dry goods are selected well, clearly going for products they are prepared to recommend rather than just crank out. Its a very clean and tidy shop, I can see myself visiting regularly.

  • 5/5 Toby H. 3 years ago on Google
    Popped in this morning for some bog wood for the new 4ft tank (our 4th tank now) we come away with a very nice piece as they had a great selection of shapes and sizes available. We have also been considering having real plants but really haven't got the foggiest on how to keep them so the guys pointed out some great beginner friendly varieties and gave some good advice on how to keep them. And of course as always when you visit a place like this we ended up buying more fish! A very good variety of fish available in store and can order most fish in if requested. Top service. Will be back for sure.

  • 5/5 Will M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great customer service and knowledgeable owner! Love the fact that the fish are sustainably sourced, with the fish always looking healthy and clearly well looked after.

  • 5/5 Tim R. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 scott m. 3 years ago on Google
    Having got to know Sustainable Aquatics over a period of time, i can honestly say that it's my one and only go to place for all my fish and tanks needs!!! From the warm friendly welcome, to the experience and expert advice, nothing is too much trouble for them, from my own experience the quality of the fish and plants from these guys is totally unrivalled,that alongside the expertise and knowledge ,you will struggle for it to be rivalled let alone beaten. These guys are a credit to aquatics and all aspects of it and will bend over backwards to get you on the right path. Weather it's a total beginner or the professional fish keeper you will not be disappointed paying Sustainable Aquatics a visit.

  • 5/5 Heather G. 3 years ago on Google
    i am new to keeping tropical fish and popped into this new store in Rotherham as it is near home and i feel very lucky to have found it. Lovely helpful staff, Carl and Lee who were patient with my every question and are obviously very knowledgable and care about what they do. I made a purchase, of a very happy fish now settled at home and feel secure that I could call up any time for advice. I think they are very interested in building relationships with customers as well as building a business. Can happily recommend and will be going back.
