i can't find the place.

i gave up looking and went to maidenhead aquatics instead.

time to change my 4-yr-old gps system.

I always find consistantly boring stock at Maidenhead Aquatics. They never seem to have anythign new in stock, however it may be a different story at the Bristol store.

Never heard of Tropiquarium although it is in the PFK shop guide so i must exist!

ijay its like 2 minutes from kwikfit where were you coming from maidenhead is quality what did you think

i live in wiltshire and thought of having a good look around bristol on a sunday afternoon.
things i found out:
- Aquastore in Filton is closed (for renovation i think)
- Fishtank in Whitehall Rd has a very small and limited selection
- Maidenhead Aquatics Bristol is a small and crowded place to be on a Sunday afternoon. A bit on the pricey side on some species. The two Maidenhead Aquatics at Swindon are still better compared to the one in Bristol.
- Tropiquarium - did not find it.

Next place to look around will be Oxfordshire.

i must admit that the staff at maidenhead aquatics bristol are quite friendly and seem knowledgeable..
i have bought my fishes from several other stores and it's only in bristol that they asked me if my tank is already mature before selling me the fishes..

No luck today guys drove past and it was closed i'll try and pop in after work one night in the week if not i'll go next weekend

The one on on Filton avenue has been closed for a good 6 months, so I doubt it's for renovation. If you're around Bristol you want to be trying Almonsbury Garden Center, and the one on the A4, wyvale garden center I think it's called.
