Just a quick post to let anyone who uses Coxwell Aquatics, that myself and star4 went in today and were told its moving to Oxford next week :( Real shame for us Midlanders to lose it, but they say its been so quiet lately that they decided to move.
 
That is such a shame, I go there every 3 months ish and they have some great stock! I dont even mind the 40 minute drive! I had planned to go up in a few weeks. Just means I'll have to go further for quality fish. :sad:
 
Most of the stock had gone already, dry goods etc had all but gone too, shame really, I know I dont go in there as much as I used to, but it was a decent LFS, certainly not going all the way to Oxford though, will have to start looking around for another LFS, now I think the best one near me is Mere Park MA in Telford (which we went too today as well :) )
 
Just been on MA store locator Earlswood store is my closest at 12.5 miles. followed by shirley at 14. Whats shirley aquatics like now? Last time I was there it was big but didn't have any interesting stock IMO. Its been 2 years since I was there last.
 
I cant help on shirley, never been there, or Earlswood, whilst they are probably closer milage wise for me, I dont know Birmingham very well, aside from my journey to Star4's house :lol: But as today she came to me and we visited all the LFS I frequent, in a couple of weeks, I shall be going her way and be visiting the birmingham LFS, which I believe will include Shirley.
 
You can give me a list of which ones you go to plus a review on them all! Remember I'm into cichlids and oddballs!
 
I have used shirley, i brought my angel and danios from there and is still happy and swimming, But when we needed to buy a UV filter for the out door pond, i wasn't really happy, i had to take the filter back and exchange it twice.
But when it comes to fish quality i find them ok, much prefer AD Aquatics.
 
A+d are ok, however I really like Birmingham aquatics on the pershore road Sirchley, Angel aquatics are ok but quite small, mainly marines+corals! Earls aquatics, Quinton I think was very good for cichlids but is mainly community fish now with some good discus juvies!
 
Last time I went to Shirley (about a month ago) it was half empty, although 3 of the tanks had been broken in an accident, had lots of discus and not really much else apart from the usual guppies & Mollies etc.
