Question for the Scots

[MattW]

I’m on the hunt for some fish and found Riverpark Aq is Paisley has them at a very good price, compared to others stores around the UK. Any members here bought from them / visited the store before?

I've never been to the store you mention, but I see you are from Manchester? I used to travel from County Durham to Stockport to Abyss Aquatics. They used to have great Marine fish and inverts, and they had a load of tropicals; worth a visit if you have not been before.

Been to abyss many times it’s a great store about a 8min drive from me. The fish im after seem to be specialist imports. Abyss seems to focus on rare marines now rather than freshwater sadly.

Yeah, they always had great marine stuff. At the time, I was keeping marine fish, so it was well worth the trip for me.
Can an LFS not get you the fish to order? What fish is it you are looking for

 

[MattW]

Hyphessobrycon sp. Muzel. Most of locals won’t do orders sadly. I havent asked at abyss tbf but knowing how they are the price will be very high. The cheapest I found online was Paisley and ironically enough in Durham but they are out of stock there.

 

[FattyFish]

Who did you try in Durham? Was it Tropical Supplies? They are my local go-to FS. They are a great-looking fish, by the way.

 

[MattW]

Yes it was TS . They have a good range of livestock and dry goods.

From what I've read about Riverpark AQ its seems like they have a good system going with regards to delivery, so I will give them a go.

Look forward to seeing any pics once you get them
