💙 Blue Parrot Cichlids 💙

We’ve got some cracking Blue Parrots in at the moment!

These guys stay around 12cm and have loads of personality packed into that chunky little body. They can be a bit feisty, especially when breeding, so tankmates need choosing with a bit of care and plenty space is required.

💧 Temperature: 24–28°C
💧 pH: 7.0–8.0
💧 KH: 6–20°
🐟 Adult size: around 12cm

They like good filtration with some moderate water movement, as well as quieter areas where they can get out of the flow.

Food-wise they’re not too fussy either – a varied diet of good quality flakes, pellets and frozen foods will keep them happy 🪱

If you like cichlids with plenty of character, these are definitely worth a look 🐟

Our Vampire Crab is out and about exploring 🥰 🦀

These colourful little crabs are semi-terrestrial and need a paludarium rather than a fully aquatic tank.

🌡️ Temperature: 22–28°C
💧 pH: 7.5–8.5
💎 Hardness: 10–25°dH
🌿 Setup: Approx. 2/3 land, 1/3 water
📏 Adult size: Around 3cm
🍽️ Diet: Omnivorous - pellets, frozen foods & vegetable matter
🏠 Best kept: Species-only; ideally 1 male with several females
🔒 Essential: A tight-fitting lid - they’re excellent escape artists!

Plenty of plants, roots, caves and humid land areas will help them thrive 🌿

You’ll find them right by the entrance to our store. Ask a member of our team for more information on how to set up the perfect home for these little guys 🦀

🪸 Our coral trays are absolutely packed with colour at the moment! 😍

We also have a great selection of coral frags, which are a brilliant way to add a few different species and colours to your reef without breaking the bank 🌈

Even better, we’ve got multibuy deals on our frags, so you can mix and match a few favourites! 🐠🪸

Pop in and have a look - there’s plenty to choose from! 😊

🧡Our latest arrivals of fancy Goldfish have settled in well! 🧡

We’ve got a fantastic selection in store, with some gorgeous colours, shapes and plenty of personality! Goldfish are brilliant fish to keep and, with the right care, can be enjoyed for many years ❤️

Fancy goldfish love a nice spacious aquarium with plenty of room to grow and explore, along with good filtration to keep them happy and healthy.

Love the idea of a coldwater/temperate aquarium but don’t quite have the space for goldies? We’ve got lots of beautiful smaller temperate species in store too! 🐟🌿

Pop in and have a look, our team is always happy to help you find the perfect fish for your setup! 😊
