We will be closing at 4:30PM today!

Sorry for any inconvenience!

On the plus side here’s 2 blooms on our pond at home 👀

Would you believe us if we said they’re the same type of lily? The variety produced by 1 plant is incredible 🪷

🌿 Fresh plant delivery has landed! 🌿

The new greenery has finally rooted itself in the shop... unlike some of our customers who "just came in for fish." 👀😂

Pop in over the next few days and have a browse before everyone else gets their stems on them! 🌱🐟

Went into IKEA for storage boxes...
Walked out wondering why they're selling Tiger Barbs. 🤔🔪
These ones are a bit more aggressive than the fish... and probably harder to net. 😂

🌿 Plant Spotlight – Water Lettuce 🌿
🥬 Get your lettuce in a line!
Or better yet... lettuce help your pond look its best! 😄

Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) is a fantastic floating plant that provides natural shade, helps reduce algae and creates a maze of trailing roots for fry and pond life to explore.

Fresh in stock now, but they won't be hanging around for long... they'll be floating off to new homes! 🌿

👀 Sneaky peek at some of tonight's fresh delivery...

We've told the fish they're not allowed to sell themselves before they've even settled in... but the Venezuelan Corys, Adolfoi Corys and Angels clearly didn't get the memo. 🤦‍♂️🐠

Keep your eyes peeled over the next week as these beauties make their way onto the sales tanks.

Fair warning... they may not all still be here by the time you've finished saying, "I'm only popping in for fish food." 😏

🚨 FISH DELIVERY UPDATE! 🚨

The Singapore box has finally decided to grace us with its presence... fashionably late, of course. 🙄📦🐠

That means tonight consists of floating bags, checking fish, endless acclimation and questioning my life choices.

So if you pop in tomorrow and I look like I've slept in the plant tanks... I probably haven't. 🤣

Come and see what's arrived before Charlie turns into a zombie. 🧟‍♂️🐟

🌟 Plant Spotlight – Star Grass 🌟

Looking for something a little different around your pond? Meet Star Grass (Dichromena colorata).

With its bright white, star-shaped flowers hovering above lush green foliage, it's one of those plants that always gets people asking, "What's that?" 🤍🌿
Perfect for pond margins or damp ground, it's a real summer showstopper and a brilliant way to add something a little unusual to your planting.

⭐ No, we haven't glued the stars on... they're supposed to look like that!
Pop in and see this beauty while it's in flower.

🌿 Pond plant delivery day! 🌿

The fresh arrivals have rooted themselves into the shop... unlike Charlie before his morning coffee. 😅

If your pond is looking a little bare, now's the perfect time to pop in before the best ones decide to find new homes. Keep an eye out too... we've got a few plant spotlights coming over the next few days. 👀🌸
