My first review 
So decided to have a little poke around the new MA Croydon store. I was left a little bit disappointed
The store was apparently opened to the public around a week ago. Upon arriving, the store was open but it was unfinished. There were men cementing the floor and setting up the aquariums. Only around 1/5 of the tanks had water in them and the only fish were Guppies, Platies, Black Neon Tetra, Leopard Danio and Zebra Danio. None of the tanks had prices. The plants section was a little better, there were around 10 species of plants. However the bunched plants were £2.00 and the potted plants were £3.50 which is a little expensive in my books. The man working there was very kind. He told me the shop would be fully completed in around a week. There was a large range of dry products (filter and media, foods, treatments...) for both ponds and aquariums. The store is pretty small though. So to sum this up:
This small store is pretty good. Although it is over-priced, the store has an excellent dry products area. The plants & fish area are limited in stock and are also over-priced. Customer service is top notch though.
BTW the store is tucked at the back of the car park away from the garden centre.

although they were lush and i was sorely tempted but kept the plastic hidden away
