EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most patient and honest fish shop I've come across. Fish and plant keeping is an art and there is never one answer that fits all (getting it wrong sometimes and learning is a part of the hobby). But the guys here always offer all of the knowledge they can (which is extensive) and they always try to help. I've found other fish shop staff can be snooty and know-it-all but these guys aren't. The guys here don't make you feel stupid, they just help you learn. They do know a lot but they just want the best outcome. That's why I only go here now. I recently upsized my aquarium and have carefully selected stock that I like. It didn't go straightforward (my fault choosing fish that weren't compatible) but the help, patience and understanding I received from the guys in the shop has been A+++. Thank you so muchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, knowledgeable and honestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really appreciated the time and helpful advice Tony gave us. The pond pump/aerator wasn't cheap but he didn't give us a 'hard sell' and showed us the options with no pressure. It is now installed and working well!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend, completely new to tropical fish and the incredible knowledge that has been given to us from Josh is highly insightful and now me and my partner feel confident as new fish owners would not go anywhere else.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just purchased a pond pump and plants and found Paul absolutely brilliant. He could not have been more helpful and has imparted a significant amount of expert knowledge. I was initially thinking of buying everything via the internet but Paul reminded me of the benefit of personal interaction and supporting local businesses. Would highly recommend, thank you.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited Sunday 10/08/25. Wanted chemicals to clear the pond but we received amazing advice and three days later we have a naturally clean, thriving pond. No sales techniques, just professional advice and assistance. Thank youTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called in today to get some advice about my pond. Both guys were friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful. Tested my pond water for me, and didn’t try to sell me stuff I didn’t need and they gave me good advice. Thank you :)
