More Than a Fish Store.
A Place for Living Worlds.
Since 2008 we've helped beginners set up their first ten-gallon tank and helped seasoned reefers track down the one coral they've been chasing for years.
Our Philosophy
Healthy Livestock Promise
Every fish is quarantined and observed before it reaches the sales floor. We'd rather delay a delivery than sell a fish we're not confident in.
Responsible Aquarium Keeping
We only stock species we're prepared to give honest care advice for, and we'll tell you when a fish is a poor fit for your setup.
Why Hobbyists Trust Us
Our staff keep their own tanks at home — freshwater, marine and planted — so the advice you get is tested in our own living rooms first.
Our Story
Aquatic opened as a single row of tanks in the back of a garden centre. The owners were hobbyists first — a planted-tank enthusiast and a marine aquarist who kept arguing over shelf space until they realised the shop should just carry both.
Nearly two decades later, the argument is still going, and the shop is better for it: one wall for lush aquascapes, the other for reef-ready livestock, and a staff that genuinely can't agree on which is more interesting.
Our Team
We're a small crew of aquarists, aquascapers and one very patient marine specialist who fields most of the reef questions. Between us we've kept everything from breeding colonies of cherry shrimp to a 300-gallon SPS reef, and we're always happy to talk through what's swimming in your tank.
