    Very nice if u want a start up kit, 200 billiz - tank, food, pumps, filters, oh and the fish ! etc etc but try and buy a tiddler for your gang at home.... nah. Might get too big for your tank and destroy your other fish.

    Really helpful staff. I feel a bit bad not buying the filter as they where so helpful, but they where half the price online. Bought some plants, they are good condition and the staff were brilliant advising me. Some of the tanks looked like they could do with a bit of a clean. Great selection of fish and accessories etc.

    I visited for the first time and was very surprised on the size of the place and how set up. The young man and the young lady that dealt with me were very helpful and professional, the whole experience was a pleasure and I will be calling again. Thanks guys.

    I was looking for help with marine aquariums. Spoke to Ryan who was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He had so much time for me and all of my many many questions. Absolutely above and beyond. Will definitely be purchasing from here once I’m ready for my set up. I honestly can not over state how good his customer service is. The shop itself is lovely and well set out and the other staff were friendly.

    Went in today while out on a motorcle ride. As soon as i entered the shop i was welcomed by a chap he was polite and showed me around the fish i have to say they have some of the most beautifulest discus i have seen in the hobby for a long time. The chap was very helpfull and even offered to lend me a bungie strap for some egg crate i was thinking to get. Also paul? Was very polite and helpfull with showing me some beautiful marble rocks to go with my flowerhorn setup, He even took time to bag up some alfagrog for my sump system. Will visit again for sure.

    Very knowledgeable staff, told me what to do to get rid of algae bloom, worked a treat, he didn't try over selling products to do the job.

  • 3/5 John K. 1 year ago on Google
    I went there on Tuesday afternoon and they were shut and locked up at 1650 so their closing times of 1730 is not accurate at all.

  • 3/5 Elspeth R. 10 months ago on Google
    It's ok but overly priced and the aquariums aren't in the best condition. I remember going a few years back and there was much more there, they also had show aquariums which had been beautifully aquascaped to show off what you could do given the right advice. I used to get a lot of plants there but they've been overpriced so I now go elsewhere.

    Elliott was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Enlightened us to many aspects of tropical fish keeping that we had never been made aware of. Great service, great products, highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Adele B. 11 months ago on Google
    A huge thanks to Elliot, Ryan. It’s great to have confidence that they really know their stuff, they never rush us, and are happy to help and advise, about aquatic equipment, the plant life, and the fish themselves. What’s very obvious is they have a real passion for what they do, and their enthusiasm is unmistakable, what a fabulous team

    I will never buy marine fish from this shop ever again. Staff don't have a clue

  • 2/5 Damien B. 1 year ago on Google
    A LOT of dead fish unfortunately, which I see as a bad thing. The store is well stocked, but like I say a lot of deceased fish.

  • 5/5 Connor H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 krissi E f. 1 year ago on Google
    Just wanted to leave feed back about really great service from one of your staff members who really seemed to know what they were on about when it came to aquatic life and how to care for them. I also wanted to comment on how nice the mocha was from the garden centre cafe.

  • 4/5 Eleanor J. 1 year ago on Google
    Good selection of cold, tropical, pond and marine fish. Nice selection of tanks and some accessories for sale. Staff seem very knowledgeable and happy to help.

  • 4/5 Peter T. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved all the christmas stuff in the garden centre and a good supply of goods in the aquatic centre

  • 3/5 Rachael L. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited on 2nd October and they had Christmas stuff everywhere with even the Christmas songs on. Ridiculous, I feel sorry for the staff. Very expensive, but I'd go again just to feed the fish (£1 for a little tub) and see the other aquatic life they have for sale, including a massive pufferfish.

  • 1/5 Craig M. 1 year ago on Google
    The garden centre looks nice but I went to have a look at the coral I was highly disappointed there we more hair alge then coral and the ones there look in really poor health

  • 5/5 Dharam B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent advise on the fish I should buy for my tank. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Fish prices were a little more than I expected but they all seem to be doing well in my tank. I will be using them again in the future.
