☀️ The nice weather has finally arrived ☀️

Perfect timing too, because we’ve just had a fresh delivery of pond plants land in store.

Plenty of choice for adding colour, coverage and a more natural look to your pond as everything starts coming to life for the season.

A great time to get planting while the warmer weather settles in

🐠 Can’t believe this guy is still here 🐠

We’ve had this King Kamfa F1 Flowerhorn with us since November, and somehow he’s still waiting for his tank.

Since arriving he’s put on serious size, developed a massive nuchal hump, and turned into a proper showpiece fish. Loads of presence, loads of attitude, and impossible to ignore once he spots you.

A real wet pet of a cichlid and easily one of the most eye-catching fish in store right now.

Pictures and videos genuinely do not do him justice.

🔥 Thought the Topaz Puffers were something? 🔥

Take a look at these.

Sub Adult Indonesian Tiger Datnoids (Datnioides microlepis) in store right now, and they don’t mess about. Drop in some live river shrimp and it’s instant… locked on and gone in a flash.

No hesitation. No second chances.

These are proper predator fish with serious presence, and the way they feed says everything.

💥 What you’re getting:
• Bold patterning and standout looks
• Fast, aggressive feeding response
• Real centrepiece fish for the right setup

If you liked the puffers, these take it up another level.

Come and watch them for yourself.

🐡 Topaz Puffers – Fully Grown 🐡

These aren’t for the faint-hearted.

Fully grown Topaz Puffers in store right now. In the clip they look calm, picking at a cockle… but don’t be fooled. When they decide to go for it, they’ll make short work of it.

Serious fish with serious bite.

💥 What you’re getting:
• Proper size and presence
• Strong feeding response
• Built for hard foods to keep those teeth in check

Not a beginner fish. Not a community fish.
These are for setups that can handle them.

If you want something with real attitude, come and see them in person.

✨ Kin Kabuto Koi Now In ✨

We’ve got some stunning 5–6 inch Kin Kabuto koi in at the moment, and they’re not hard to spot once you know what you’re looking for.

Mixed in with our large albino grass carp, these little koi really stand out with their metallic shine and bold patterning.

A great size for growing on, and perfect if you’re looking to add something a bit different to your pond.

If you’re in, have a look through the pond and see if you can pick them out 👀

🌸 Waterlily Galore 🌸

Pond planting is starting to pick up, and we’ve got a great selection in right now.

Alongside those, we’ve also got:
• Pygmy lilies
• Aponogeton

A nice mix whether you’re adding to an established pond or just getting things started for the season.

Come and take a look and see what works best for your setup.
