Water Garden I think it`s called. Rich 09-08-2004, 16:23 Isn't there one at West Bar on the corner opposite the Fire and Police Museum? lindy3 09-08-2004, 17:12 hi first time here so forgive me if i get this wrong here goes depends on what fish you are you are wanting there is a good aquatic shop at elm lane sheffield lane top .his shop is small but his fish are good never had a problem with any i bought from him or you could go further afield like wharf aquatics see his web site ok bye linda jenhoppy 09-08-2004, 19:07 Originally posted by Rich Isn't there one at West Bar on the corner opposite the Fire and Police Museum? Think you mean the "international Aquatics"shop.It closed down a few years ago rich.jen x jenhoppy 09-08-2004, 19:09 You could always try the ad mag/free ads usually there are private breeders that advertise and its a hell of a lot cheaper than the shops and i have to admit the fish from private breeders are usually a lot healthier.hope this helps jen x royjames 09-08-2004, 19:23 There is a good place on elm lane near the fire station. clogginchris 09-08-2004, 21:17 Thanks everyone - much appreciated. Never thought of going to private breeders - thought they would be more expensive. Will also have a look at the others mentioned. matsalleh 09-08-2004, 21:43 Wharf Aquatics is unbelievable now.Loads of fish in good condition,one massive tank. Now they sell snakes,lizards,insects. Worth a visit just to look.Also as you come off the motorway, if you carry on down the B road towards Alfreton there is a garden centre on the left that sells tropical fish.It is also very good for plants.

Lickszz 09-08-2004, 23:22 Not sure about Sheffield but I'm pretty sure there is a decent place in Rotherham to obtain tropical fish from. Rusted Root 10-08-2004, 10:26 Peak Aquatics out in the Peak District (duh:D) have a huge selection of tropical fish. Both marine and freshwater. I used to get my fish from there and they were always healthy and lived a long time. jenhoppy 10-08-2004, 14:36 im told that buying direct from dealer is a lot cheaper as they dont usually have as many overheads as shops do.Worth a look i think jen x hounsfieldjr 10-08-2004, 17:12 Middletons at the bottom of the Moor have tropical fish, but I prefer Sheffield Aquatics in Hillsborough too. gribz 10-08-2004, 21:07 Pastures Farm Koi & Tropicals which is on Eckington Road in Coal Aston is a pretty good little shop, plenty of cold water pond fish and a really good display of some huge Koi. Also, Maples Aquatics up in Stocksbridge on Hollinbusk Lane is very good for tropicals and the more interesting oddball fish. Pets At Home in Woodseats have a tropical selection although i've never bought anything from there (despite being tempted by the Clown Knife they have in the display tank) But as mentioned earlier, Wharf Aquatics in Pinxton, Notts is pretty amazing and will have everything you've ever dreamt of.. gremlin_mick 11-08-2004, 08:11 I've bought all my tropicals from Middletons in town. The shop itself isn't much to look at, but all my fish bar one Tetra have survived so far! :) big chief 11-08-2004, 12:15 Ask the experts, Alot of them Live in Sheffield especially Bungle Haze www.reefpark.co.uk sunny 13-08-2004, 11:02 I can definitely recommend Wharf Aquatics, they have the best choice for miles around Sheffield. www.wharfaquatics.co.uk Also if you want info or any help on keeping fish, one of their staff has a website and forum which is very popular. www.thetropicaltank.co.uk |
