Tropical freshwater fish
We receive at least two deliveries of fish each week. This means our tropical aquariums generally have over 300 species to choose from. Behind the scenes we have a large quarantine area, where new arrivals are rested for 7 days before going on sale. All our fish are fed three times a day on either Tetra Pro flake, Tetra Prima or Gamma frozen food. Our tropical aquarium have recently had the lighting upgraded from T8 lamps to the Arcadia Eco-Aqua LED lamps, this offer reduced power consumption and heat output and excellent colour rendition.
We have five tropical freshwater filtration systems, this enables us to give the more specialist species ideal conditions.
Two for general tropical freshwater one with 67 aquariums holding 1850 gallons and a smaller one with 46 aquariums holding 1,125 gallons.
One for soft water fish with 18 aquariums holding 450 gallons.
One for Malawi & Tanganyikan Cichlids with 18 aquariums holding 450 gallons.
One for Discus with 8 aquariums holding 225 gallons.
