my local dobbies is terrible...well when i last visited i saw masses of dead fish and i dont mean 1 or 2 like you would expect...there were hundreds

i think dobbies are good lol. i dont see any dead ones. depends what dobbies i suppose. the one i go to is in dinnington, chesterfield.
also, i think other garden centres are good. i usually get the most advice in garden centres (aquatic departments) and they ask tank size etc to make sure you arent getting fish waay to big for the aquarium.

the best aquatics knowledge always comes from this forum and people that work in small local friendly privately owned garden centres

There is mean't to be a good store in the Wirral isn't there? (Just checks sat nav with fish shops stored as POI's ) ok I think on Beaconsfield Road, Andy's Aqautics? Never been but heard somewhere it is pretty good.

There is also a Maidenhead at Widnes which isn't too far... Again I have never been.
