Trip to Wharf Aquatics this weekend

[SarahBravo]

I haven't spent any money on fishies in a while....anyone fancy coming to Wharf Aquatics (just outside Nottingham) with me sometime over the weekend? They were voted best tropical retailer of 2004 in PFK, and are worth a look even if you don't want to buy anything.

Lemme know, i can give 1 person a lift, or meet people there.

Sarah,

I went last weekend on the way to see friends in Ashbourne. First time I'd been and its great. I'll defintely be going back next time I need fish!

I live 30 mins away from Wharf and go as often as the wife will let me

Its worth a visit just to see the display tank which has a huge red tail catfish and a couple of arrowana's. They also have some stingrays in other tanks which although I have no intention of buying are incredible! The standard of the fish is the best I have seen..and I have seen quite a few!

Let us know how you got on and what you came home with!

Hi there,

I went to Wharf Aquatics last weekend and bought 10 Neon Tetras, there was a free one in the bag too so I got 11! So far they are doing fine, although one went missing last night and I found him in my filter, I rescued him and he seems happy I dont know how he got in there though I keep doing a headcount all the time.

I am new to fishkeeping and was recommended Wharf Aquatics. When I telephoned them a couple of months ago to check whether they quarantine fish, they told me that they quarantine all their fish and also dont import fish.

I am a novice but it is a great experience to look around, they have some lovely looking tanks too.

Hope you enjoy your visit

(edit, just to add dont worry when I say I am new my tank is cycled, I already have some Guppies and Otos, have gained tons of info from this site thanks to all)

P.S. If anyone wants any Java moss I've got enough to fill about 5 tanks! Let me know and I'll bring some with me, gotta get rid of some so I get more room for fish!!
