A Fond Farewell from Wholesale Tropicals on Bethnal Green Road

After an incredible 60 years serving the East End and beyond, Wholesale Tropicals on Bethnal Green Road is closing its doors.

For generations, we’ve been the place for all things aquatic, from humble goldfish to exotic species, and everything in between.

We’ve helped countless hobbyists set up their first tank, advised seasoned aquarists, and even provided creatures for film and television!

It’s been a true privilege to be a part of this community. We’ve seen children grow up visiting us with their parents, then bringing their own children in years later. We’ve shared our passion for fish and helped nurture that passion in others. The memories created within these walls will stay with us forever.

While we’re sad to say goodbye, we’re also filled with gratitude for the unwavering support you’ve shown us over six decades. As Dr. Seuss wisely said, “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” And we are smiling, remembering all the wonderful moments we’ve shared.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making Wholesale Tropicals such a special place.

We’ll cherish the memories and the friendships made.

We want to thank everyone for their business and loyalty over the years. We really appreciate it and it has helped to support four generations of our family.

We didn’t do too bad for two cockney boys…
