Absolutly.
Have you seen dolfin aquatics on old heath road? Little tucked away shop.
Small but a few "unusual" fish and a nice discus tank.
Less than a minutes walk from me lol

yes i used to go to jack and carols shop quite a lot when i 1st started keeping fish , not been there for ages tho as i now tend to buy my fish from breeders and all my other stuff such as dechlorinator , food etc i buy online . as you say the fish are nice and healthy but not exactly an exciting choice. altho to be fair small shops like that need to stock what they wil sell more of rather than catering for more serious keepers . simple economics really . pity as its a nice little shop

I get my dechlorinator from tesco of all places. 375ml for a tenner seems ok. Food has always.cone from the range tho... Probs not the best choice.
