    Absolutely amazing experience. I visited a while ago and I met James. James supported me to get the fish tank fully cycled by providing seeded media and a 'prime' solution. I revisited today to buy some fish and he was really friendly and knowledgeable. James is a real asset to the store and I would thoroughly recommend visiting these guys; Excellent stock, well priced, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Many thanks.

    I love shopping at Premier Aquatics because Ste and the team go out of their way to find the more interesting species to bring into the hobby rather than the sort of 'bread and butter' you find elsewhere. Due to me living quite far away and the snow we've had this week, I placed my first online order on Saturday evening. Straight away on Monday they were dispatched and arrived safely to me the very next day! The plants look fantastic and are in amazing condition. They're also very generous portions too. Please do what you can to support local businesses like this, when they go into this amount of effort for you, it should always be returned! Thanks Premier!

    Absolutely amazing place. The staff are all lovely and very helpful, can't do enough for you. It is like walking into a friend's house, even have tea and coffee available for free. How many shops offer that? 😍

  • 5/5 Linda P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fish shop with very knowledgeable people on hand to help if needed. The stock is always healthy including the plants. Follow on Facebook to watch unboxings and find out how the shop is run.

  • 5/5 donna m. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service. Resealed my fishtank to like new with no concerns. Fish so reasonably priced and plants are good quality. Always helpful and professional. Thank you!

  • 4/5 Rebecca H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great knowledge. Friendly staff always willing to give advice. Great stock levels and constantly adding more stock.

  • 5/5 Robert S. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been a customer for nearly two years since they opened, I can honestly say Steve and the lads are the most genuine people you could wish to meet, what ever you want to know they will put you on the right path, and in the shop what ever you want if it's not in they will go out of their way to get it for you.

  • 5/5 J M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place. Everything was immaculate including the fish stocks. Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Pleasantly surprised. Looking forward to my next visit.

  • 5/5 Tom AB H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great for all your fish tanks from Nano up to what ever size you want... Brilliant staff and a great fish club every Friday...

  • 5/5 Gail L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a tank made for my Hamster , Absolutely fantastic. Great service and made to the exact size I required. Highly recomend this company. Thanks Ste and your team. An amazing job

  • 5/5 david c. 2 years ago on Google
    It was nice and pleasant place to go and the advise was excellent and the staff are really friendly and your made to feel welcome and the shop is well layed out and have very nice selection of fish and other stuff

  • 3/5 James Beck (. 2 years ago on Google
    Well equipped shop nice staff, bought some tropical fish and they all died within a few days all my other fish are fine. Went back a few days later to find most of the tanks in quarantine this unfortunately puts me off coming back here.

  • 5/5 Carter C. 2 years ago on Google
    Top drawer. Very knowledgeable staff. Would recommend a visit.

  • 5/5 Emma W. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely clean shop, wide variety of stock and very knowledgeable staff. Definitely recommend! I have now been several times and every time the service has been excellent. With a great range of aquascaping supplies. And excellent plants. Today Ste helped me with the final stocking of my tank. I am made up and will definitely be back

  • 5/5 Christopher p O. 2 years ago on Google
    Really really good place. Super quality in every aspect!! Could not fault at all!!!

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 3 years ago on Google
    This the only shop you will ever need to visit. If you have not been you need to go stop going to all the commercial places and getting rip off. Go see ste and the team if they don't know it about fish keeping it is not worth knowing and they know everything there is to know. As for the stock list there is everything you could ever want and need and more well worth a look. The biggest thing is there live stock i have never in 30 years seen such quality, and range of happy healthy fish all in one place and you see species of fish you will never see anywhere else. I can't sing the praises of the shop anymore than i am doing if a veteran fish keeper like myself thinks this highly of a hidden gem of a shop i can't see why you would not want to pay them a visit if you are a fish keeper or want to start keeping fish

  • 5/5 Sean 2 years ago on Google
    Love this fish shop sell everything you need for your fish to live a good happy life staff are really friendly and always down for a talk really helpful would recommend and I rate this 10/10

  • 5/5 BigFishLad 2 years ago on Google
    I have got to say that I am very impressed with how this business is ran Ste absolutely leads from the front and with his work ethic and knowledge of the hobby they will go far and I for one can't wait to see where it goes. Keep up the great guys because you are in my opinion leading the way

  • 5/5 Jason H. 2 years ago on Google
    Drop around last Sunday. From R2D2 builders club in opp building. Explain I'm lip reader (deaf) and my problem with the tank. Very patience and helpful. Bought a bottle to try. Seen the fishes I want in my tank. Deffo coming back as never see just clean tanks with happy fishes elsewhere. To buy some oranda fishes once I buy bigger tank. Thank you for your help. (Leeds customer. Told 3 friends to try your shop)

  • 5/5 Barry W. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for the first time today. Ste was mega helpful answering all my questions and has some lovely fish in stock.. cant wait to visit again and spend more money. Wishing you all the success on your new premises once your up n running. Will most certainly recommend anyone pay him a visit..

  • 5/5 Harry M. 2 years ago on Google
    Me and my partner visited this store yesterday, we’ve been to most fish stores in and around greater Manchester and I have to say premier aquatics is the best! The service received was amazing and Steve and his staff are clearly very knowledgeable and really friendly. We can’t wait to go back when we want another goldie!

  • 5/5 Darren J-P 7. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably the best aquatics shop in the North West. Quality and variety of products is brilliant and very reasonably priced. All the live stock is in excellent condition and very well cared for before put on sale. All the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, with years of experience in fish keeping. Ste (the boss), is just the best, with years of previous experience from working at Blue Planet Aquarium and Chester Zoo, he certainly knows what he's doing and thus can be seen when you go and look at how brilliant the fish look when you go in store. Well worth a visit wherever you are from, I travel 40+ miles to visit this store, as my local ones are nowhere near this good. 🐟😍🐟😍🐟😍🐟😍🐟

  • 5/5 Julie R. 3 years ago on Google
    Great fish

  • 5/5 Ben P. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going into premier now for just over a month as a new keeper. Everytime I pop in with my little 1 year old the guys in the store couldn't be more welcoming and helpful (complete novice here). Always an interesting conversation to overhear as a new hobbyist. It's well stocked, clean & the guys have very high standards for the livestock

  • 5/5 Mark S. 10 months ago on Google
    Decent selection of tropical fish, and a lot of super weird stuff; there's stuff in their tanks that I've only ever seen in textbooks. Knowledgeable staff, owner is a decent guy with encyclopaedic knowledge. If you're after some unusual and lesser known tropical fish, this is where it's at.

  • 5/5 Smokin M. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent range of fish, plants, hardscape and everything else you need from custom built tanks to all the equipment you need. Friendly and helpful owner/staff, knowledgeable and willing to help. Fish are healthy, tanks clean and generally a really awesome place.

  • 5/5 Marc U. 9 months ago on Google
    Great staff every time we've been in, always really helpful. Great selection of fish, tanks and everything in between. Helped me and my lad set up our first tank together recently. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Pardeep G. 9 months ago on Google
    Visited for the 1st time while in the area a while ago last year. What can I say, the place is amazing. Have been buying from Steve for years now online, And had to visit the store. It's a great place for beginners to advanced and everything in between. If this place was nearer, it would be my go to place for all things aquatics. The tanks are spotless and fish look healthy and active, which is what you look for. The staff are all knowledgeable and it shows, as well as their passion for the hobby and fish alike. Always ogle the mother plants Steve shows on his stories etc. Hopefully a new big tank later in the year, abs will be ordering fish and plants from Steve, as want mother plants 🪴 Onwards and upwards Steve

  • 4/5 mark c. 11 months ago on Google
    Clearly a very knowledgeable owner and he is very happy to provide advice when asked. Will definitely be going back. Good access for wheelchairs and all one on level with no steps for those with limited movement

  • 5/5 Kris N. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the best tropical fish store i have been to and i have been to a few. The staff are very friendly, informative and couldn't do more to help you. The selection of fish is second to none, with a great variety of stunning, healthy and vibrant fish. I couldn't recommend anywhere better. Great job premier aquatics, keep up the good work

  • 5/5 Chris W. 1 year ago on Google
    1st time visit today doing roughly a 240 mile tour of a few different Aquatic shops along the way, and this one was hands down the cleanest, most well presented shop I've ever visited, its almost surgical it's that clean. There's a saying "love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life" And I think it's true where Steve is concerned, in the little time I spent in there, it didn't seem like it was his job! It looked like a way of life!

  • 5/5 Dave G. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't recommend this place highly enough! The staff are always genuinely friendly and extremely helpful offering advice and recommendations, regardless of whether you're buying or just browsing. The store is immaculate and very well stocked with a massive variety of both cold water and tropical fish. They stock an excellent selection of accessories such as tanks, treatments, foods and other essentials at very good prices. As a novice aquarist I have asked countless questions and the staff have always been really keen to help and encourage. I genuinely can't recommend this place highly enough.

  • 1/5 Neenagh C. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could leave a zero I absolutely would since that is the level of service I received from this company. I decided to invest over £500 into a bespoke fish tank for my sons Christmas present. I have saved up and liased with the owner of this company many times and exchanged many emails. I chose a date which was agreed and calling up to double check today and pay any required deposit I am told that he ‘forgot to write my job down and he can’t do my job for Christmas’ now my little boy will be let down and no attempts were made to rectify this. Disgusted, what an utter waste of time!

  • 5/5 Aimee P. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a lovely atmosphere when you go in and the lads are so friendly and very knowledgeable. Bought fish from the shop and all in amazing condition. Have got alot of plants online plus food and again amazing quality and service. Would 100% this place .

  • 5/5 david j. 2 years ago on Google
    Went today for the first time. Easy to find, loads of parking. Shops clean, all the tanks are spotless and they have a great selection. Got a male betta and some plants all in really good condition looking healthy. Will definately be back

  • 5/5 Pete K. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant Shop. Finished my tank off nicely and got a whole new Snakehead Project started! cant wait to come back and visit this place!

  • 5/5 Gary D. 1 year ago on Google
    This is such a great shop. Been shopping here (and the old store) for a while now and the team are always very friendly and helpful, the shop has a great layout and so much choice. I highly recommend them

  • 5/5 Chelsie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love going here. All the staff are so friendly and professional and most importantly they are always smiling. I would highly recommend Premier Aquatics to anyone who is interested in the hobby of fish keeping regardless of how much or little experience they have. The staff here will happily answer any questions or queries without judgement and the quality of the stock is phenomenal (from livestock, to food and even aquascaping).

  • 5/5 Phillip K. 1 year ago on Google
    All round satisfaction - excellent. All the staff are willing to listen and give practical advice. I have bought fish at the shop and have ordered food and plants on line or on the phone. Steve's videos on Facebook have been very informative and I look forward to them, particularly the fish viewing ones. Every experience has been positive and 10/10. I travel whenever I can from Wigan and the journey is well worthwhile.

  • 5/5 Nadine M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous shop with an amazing selection of both fish & supplies. Nothing is ever too much trouble for any of the staff, all extremely helpful & knowledgeable. We won't go anywhere else!
