    The shop is in an awful condition. The birds have no room to fly as a result of lack of space. Many of the tanks and cages are not at all suitable for the animals and are extremely small and unhygienic. They look as though they are not properly cleaned and the reptiles in particular don't have access to clean, fresh water as they should This pet shop is selling SICK/DYING animals - I know this from experience. It is wrong. The owner (Manny) does not have enough knowledge about exotic animals and should definitely not be selling them. The shop absolutely stinks. The smell is indescribable. All of the animals are clearly neglected. The shop seems to have good reviews and I cannot understand why. I agree that the owner seems to have a lot of knowledge about fish and marine life but he is lacking in every other area. I can't fathom how people can go into the shop and think the animals are kept in a good condition.

    Bought a great triantula and second hand housing all set up . May not be the tidiest of places but the owners knowledge and the cheaper prices of lizards etc made the trip worthwhile.

    This is the worst shop I have ever saw in my entire life. When I first walked in I was greeted with a whiff of rotten fish and greasy hair. I vividly remember seeing the birds being back to back in a cage with no room to fly. I thought that would be all but no. The leopard gecko that I was eager to see ( as I love reptiles ) was very thin and narrow and you could see their ribs . It was grotesque and vile! I thought maby they would have decent snake care but probably predictable..no. The snakes were in a bland enclosure not even bare minimum for a few of them with no water . If animals could die from lack of enrichment there shops apart from the few fish would be wiped out. I havnt been in here in awhile but I remember seeing all of that eye sore and it isn’t a pleasant memory. If I could give this place negative stars I would. If u buy/support or respect this place u are suporting animal abuse and neglect. Also I’m like 90% sure this owner has a past shop shut down (not a good sighn ) .hope they get karma

    Great little shop. Been coming for around 5 months. I come to this shop nearly every week. Great selection of good heathly fish. The owner always orders fish in for me! What he does not normally stock. The best thing is very low prices. Very knowledgeable, always helpful. Wont shop anywhere else.

    I bought a golden nugget plec for £30 from here just over 1 week ago, whilst at the shop on that day I spent over £100. I went there today with the pleco dead (my water parameters are perfect) only to be rudely insulted (for which he apologised) but no store credit note. I would avoid like the plague as he's only nice whilst taking your money. Needless to say I am going to spread the word on my poor experience ...

    I've bought 2 leopard geckos from here, I was sold my 1st one( echo) in fairly good condition £45 for him, then I came back to buy him a friend, i paid £35 for Ella who was extremely underweight and had what looked like stick tail, Ella passed away a few weeks ago no matter what I did I couldn't get her to eat and it happened so fast (6 weeks later) separated her from echo as she looked very sick, she died not long after this, now my other gecko echo is going exactly the same way, I've had reptiles for years as I have 2 bearded dragons that I got around 6 years ago.........., the reptiles look neglected in this shop it also really pongs and is so unhygienic and dirty, it brakes my heart to see animals kept this way and makes me wonder how its even still in business, from experience please don't purchase any sort of reptile from here as its broke my heart losing my gecko and now having to monitor my echo aswell, not a happy customer and I won't be going back!!!!!! Update! My echo sadly passed away due to losing drastic energy so quickly again like ella.... I've had them for 6-7 months 😠 Going elsewhere for a baby bearded dragon as not chancing going here again!
