Our puffer fish has a little party trick… convincing everyone who walks past his tank that he hasn't been fed yet! 😂

And as you can see, it works pretty well! He's mastered the art of getting extra snacks throughout the day! 🐡🥹

We are in love with our Foxface 💛🖤🤍

He is very active and always out and about. For him, we’re looking for someone with a very spacious tank with lots of swimming space.

He thrives on a veggie-rich diet including Spirulina Flake and, most important, Seaweed which can easily be attached to the glass with Tropical Marine Centre Seaweed Clips we’ve got in store 🌿🐟

If you’ve got a large, well established marine tank and you’re looking for a lovely character fish, he might be just the right one for you 🥰

No one told these babies that they’re supposed to be nocturnal 🥹

We’ve been asked a lot for longfin bristlenose catfish, and we are excited to announce that they’re finally in stock! 🙌🏻

The photo was taken last week after day after arrival. They’ve got caves and hides but prefer to be out and about showing off! Fantastic little fish, we could not be happier with them 💛

These guys will grow to about 15cm. They require a well established tank with driftwood, plants and ideally sandy substrate.

They’re not fussy with their food, however bloodworm and sinking wafers should not be missing from their diet as that’s their current favourite snack 🍲 🐠

We don’t think they’ll be around for long. Come see them in store!

Happy Wednesday from our Puffer! 🙂
Breakfast is on its way which makes him happy 🥹

Tag someone who should see a cute Puffer picture this morning 🐡

There’s currently a very large Channa looking for a home at our Perth branch!

Wonderful and rare opportunity for someone with the right sized tank and well worth the travel.

Get in touch with Fishkeeper Perth for more information on requirements and on how to receive a licence to keep this fish 🫶

🌱 PLANT OF THE MONTH- ONLY £3.99 🌱

🌟 Riccia Fluitans 🌟

Riccia is an easy growing, clump-forming plant. The bright green cushions can provide a very nice stepping stone effect. Because this plant grows very easily, it's an ideal variety for a starter aquarium, but also great for aquascapes and nano aquariums.

Available in store! ☺️

🐠 Nothing beats visiting a fish shop!
Have you been to our store yet? 🐟🥰

Seeing the fish in person, finding something you didn't know you needed, having a good browse and a chat with people who love fish just as much as you do. That's what it's all about! 🪸

Getting to us couldn't be easier!

📍 You'll find us inside Dobbies Garden Centre at Melville, just off the bypass.

🚗 Plenty of free parking right outside.

🚌 The No. 3 and No. 29 buses run regularly into town, with other bus connections available too. The bus stop is right outside the shop!

🛍️ Make a trip of it! With several other shops inside the garden centre, you can tick a few things off your list while you're here.

📦 Spotted something you love but can't get it home? No problem! We offer delivery for those bigger or trickier purchases.

🐟 We’ve got a big indoor pond where you can hand feed Koi Carp!

🕘 We're open daily 9am–6pm.

Whether you're coming for something specific or just fancy a look around, there's always something worth seeing. We stock marine fish, invertebrates and corals too! 🪸

Our team would love to see you in store 🐠
