🌿 New Display Tank in the Shop! 🌿

Matt’s been busy setting up our latest in-store display at Harrogate Aquatic, inspired by the clean, natural balance of a classic Iwagumi layout.

With structured rockwork, a fresh carpet of hairgrass taking root, and subtle touches of Anubias and moss tucked into the crevices, the scape is really starting to find its stride.

Home to some stunning Caridina shrimp grazing along the stones and a busy little shoal of Pygmy Corydoras (Corydoras pygmaeus) buzzing across the substrate. It’s a peaceful, high-detail setup that shows just how rewarding nano fish and delicate dwarf shrimp can be in a carefully managed planted tank.

Pop into Knaresborough Garden Centre and see it in person—we’re always happy to talk water parameters, plant care, hardscape selection, or help you plan your next aquascape from scratch!

We’ve moved further into the garden centre! 🐠🌿

If you’ve visited us recently, you might have noticed a few changes underway. Harrogate Aquatics has shifted a little further into Knaresborough Garden Centre!

We’re most of the way there now—tanks are running, livestock is settling into the new layout, and the space is really starting to take shape. We still have a few boxes to unpack and loose ends to tidy up over the next few days, so please bear with us while we put the final polish on everything.

We’re fully open for business as usual, so come on down, follow the signs, and check out the new setup. We’d love to know what you think! 🐟✨

📍 Find us just beyond the greenhouse

👉 Pop in for all your pond, tropical, and coldwater essentials!

✨ Look who just swam in! ✨

We are absolutely obsessed with this batch of Koi Betta fish that just arrived! 😍 Each one is truly unique, with vibrant, painted patterns that look just like miniature koi.

Whether you're looking to start a new nano tank or want a stunning center-piece for your existing setup, these little guys have so much personality and color. No two are exactly alike!

Drop by and say hi! They are already starting to show off their colors under our lights. Come pick out your new favorite before they all find new homes!

✨ Feeling Fancy? ✨

Take a look at this stunning group of active, healthy fancy goldfish settling in! From shimmering golds and clean whites to vibrant calicos with fantastic finnage, these little characters bring non-stop movement and personality to any coldwater aquarium.

Quick Care Highlights:

• Tank Size: Best kept in spacious setups with plenty of swimming room and good surface agitation.

• Filtration: High filtration is essential—fancy goldfish are enthusiastic eaters!

• Diet: Thrive on high-quality sinking pellets, gel foods, and leafy vegetable treats to support healthy digestion.

Pop in-store to check them out in person, or drop us a message if you're looking to pick out a specific colour variety! 🐠
