Check out some of our Corydora selection 🐠🐟🌿

These peaceful, bottom-dwelling catfish love to scavenge and keep tanks tidy while adding tons of personality. Perfect for community aquariums and always fun to watch as they scoot around together.

Two of the more unusual suckermouth species we currently have in are 'Hypoptopoma thoracatum', known as Giant Ottos, and 'Sturisoma nigrirostrum', which are similar to Farlowellas (Twig Catfish).

Both species come from Peru and will benefit from an aquarium which has driftwood in it, as they will feed upon the algae and biofilm which grows on it. You can supplement with algae wafers and Catfish pellets.

Size wise expect around 11cm for the former and 22cm for the latter. These are completely peaceful species and can be kept in groups.

At Maidenhead Aquatics Wilton, we SPECIALISE in freshwater fish species. Every species we sell is a fully freshwater species that never requires any salt through its life stages.

We have a lot of rare species in store that are not commonly seen in shops; we specifically specialise in rare Characins (Tetras), small, rare Catfish and smaller oddballs, such as Knifefish, Puffers and Anabantids.

If there is a species you would like to own that we don't currently have, please get in touch to discuss it with us.

We have 4 left of these XXL Giant African Fan Shrimp 'Atya gabonensis'

While they may look brutish, these monsters are filter feeders and completely peaceful with both their own species and even the smallest fish species.

Avoid keeping them with nippy or aggressive fish that may damage their delicate filtering apparatus.

They are a good alternative to Red Clawed Crayfish 'Cherax quadricarinatus', which will predate on fish and each other, and should therefore be kept alone.

Stick on tabs are a great, interactive way to feed your fish. They encourage fish to the front of the tank and makes for a colourful display in the shop.

Here's something for the Mollusc enthusiasts among us.

The Pagoda Snail 'Brotia pagodula' is a snail species from Thailand. It is adorned with rather sharp spikes that cover the shell and makes for an interesting addition to community aquaria.

They are detritivores, feeding on biofilm, algae and mulm (aquarium detritus).
