Sunday treat time 🦐

If you've never tried live food for your fish, this weekend might be the perfect time to start. We stock a great range and they really do make a difference. Here's a quick guide to what we have and why you might choose each one:

Daphnia: one of the best all-rounders. Brilliant for digestion and really useful if any of your fish are looking a bit sluggish. Natural, nutritious and most fish absolutely love them.

Glassworm: high in protein and a great choice for medium-sized fish. Perfect for adding some variety to the diet.

Bloodworm: a firm favourite with most fish. High in protein and brilliant for bringing fish into breeding condition. They are quite rich though, so don't overdo it.

Brineshrimp: a great all-round food that most fish find very palatable. High in protein, brilliant for conditioning and a natural choice for fry and smaller fish too.

Tubifex: another high protein option that fish tend to go crazy for. A great conditioning food, and as long as they're fresh and properly sourced, a brilliant addition to the diet.

Copepods: if you keep nano fish, small tropical species or you're raising fry, copepods are excellent. Tiny, packed with nutrition and a very natural food source.

Fresh live food arrives with us every Friday. If you want to guarantee you get yours, we take regular standing orders on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Just ask us to put you on the list.

Live food will keep for approximately 5 to 7 days if stored somewhere cool.

Any questions about which food is right for your fish, just ask us.

Just look at this giant plakat male 🧡❤️🖤 A proper chunky betta with stunning koi colouring. Fun fact: koi bettas can change colour over their lifetime, so no two ever stay quite the same.

Pop in to see him at Byrkley Aquatics, or message us if you'd like to know more.

This or That — Aquarium Lighting 💡

Both have their place. It really comes down to the look you're going for and how you're setting your tank up.

Pendant / Spotlight
Focused, directional light that creates dramatic shadows and real depth in the tank. Brilliant for open-top aquascapes where you want that natural, dappled effect. Gives a clean, minimalist look and lets you highlight specific areas or plants. If aesthetics matter as much as function, this is the one.

LED Bar
Even coverage across the whole tank — exactly what heavily planted aquariums need. Easy to position, available in a huge range of sizes, and just genuinely practical. If you want consistent growth across every corner of your tank, an LED bar delivers.

Neither is wrong. It just depends on what you're building.

Which would you choose for your next setup? Drop it in the comments 👇

Think you need a big house to keep fish? You really don't.

Some of the most beautiful aquarium setups we see are in flats, small living rooms, home offices and student digs. A well-planted nano tank can sit on a desk or a shelf, use very little electricity, and still be genuinely stunning to look at.

The key is choosing the right size tank and the right fish for that space. We'll help you get it right — whatever your square footage.
