    My first and last stop for all fish supplies and of course fish themselves, Stock a huge variety of fish, shrimps and your great oddballs, Everything and anything you need they will cater for, Love it, Started with 1 tank now have 7 and 95% of my fish came from riverside, Will always shop here. I just want to say a massive thanks to all the staff who are extremely knowledgeable on almost everything to do with fish, I will always come here, My bank statements show the proof lol

    I'm fairly new to the whole fish keeping world but I have to say I have been massively impressed with these guys. Above all the fish absolutely come first. They asked questions and properly tested water before issuing fish. This was extremely useful as the tank had not fully finished cycle although the test strips were not picking up ammonia levels. They gave me advice on how to improve the water condition. I have never seen better looking or healthier fish. Decided on a Betta and colour and fins are amazing. I have received many comments regarding how good condition the fish is in. They're customer service skills we're excellent. I had a six year old with me who was a little disappointed when we realised water was not quite ready. They interacted with my little girls and explained the situation. The reserved the fish and put my daughter name on the tank. We took several trips into the shop as they were so accommodating. I personally feel the cost of their fish is very reasonable for the excellent quality of fish you receive along with their time and advice. You never feel rushed and nothing is too much hassle. I feel that this is much more like a family run shop with great experience and care. Not just the money making machines in more mainstream chain stores. I will make all my purchases from this shop and would not hesitate to recommend to new or experienced fish keepers.

    Best aquarium store in central Scotland. Excellent choice of Bettas at reasonable prices. Tanks always seem to be clean with healthy stock. It's a wee bit tight inside!

    Lovely fish shop, tanks looked immaculate and the guys were lovely, really knowledgeable and I seen them test people's water and advise not to buy fish as the tank wasn't cycled, plenty of folk would just take the money and run. The fish were the cheapest iv seen in ages to. Absolutely loved that they don't recommend plecs and other huge growing fish for small tanks!! Only thing id point out (i doubt its the shops fault) is I Googled Marine fish shops so I thought there were salt water fish and there wasn't any but a good selection of plants and live food along with other accessories. Would definitely go back and recommend them. The fish shop is all the way out the back of the garden centre.

    Fantastic store , the fish tanks where spotlessly clean and well stocked and good prices just wish I didn't live 230 miles away otherwise I would have bought some cherry shrimp 5 for £20 👍🏼

    It's probably one of the best aquatic shops in Scotland. Advice, equipment, and not forgetting a huge range of fish. It's definitely a place to visit 👍

    Excellent setup and selection, clearly exceptionally well looked after. Customer service is fantastic; offering advice without pressure to upsell items, our staff member was very knowledgeable and evidently has job satisfaction, which is reassuring as a buyer.

    Great shop. Staff ( all of them ) really know what they are talking about and recommending. Friendly service and a good atmosphere in the shop. The tanks of Tropical & Coldwater fish are IMMACULATE. Been a customer for years and totally happy which is a miracle for a crabbit old guy like me!

    Brilliant fish shop, lots of different species to choose from. Sometimes have the more unusual aquatic pets as well. Their advice has always been great and very helpful whenever i have been in, they take the time to explain things to you and give you advice on the particular fish/item you are purchasing. Use this shop the most and its over an hours round trip, but very worth it. Especially the peace of mind that you are getting a fish that is right for your setup.

    This is one of my favourite fish shops to visit! I didn't know it was here until a relative told me it was tucked behind Williamsons garden centre. Definitely worth a visit. It's full to the brim with everything you could ever need, A great selection of fish and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and super helpful 😁

    Could not recommended enough. We were complete newbies to tropical fish and the team were full of information and even looked over pictures we sent them to give us advice. We all have our talents, these guys are 100% Aquariums.

    Brilliant place to go to,all staff are super friendly and helpful,the choice of fish,plants,accessories is amazing.Defo worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey W. 2 years ago on Google
    If you live far but definitely want fish this place is absolutely worth the trip, although just going for the enviorment itself is great - a cozy lfs feel, yet professional and much cleaner than those in Edinburgh when they were still around. Extremely well stocked on dry supplies and small planted tank fish species, happily offered to order new species, and only place around edinburgh with proper shrimp afaik. I absolutely must say what a great shop! A very friendly service and knowledgeable staff.
