  I went here the other day and it's lovely, but one of the staff was a bit off towards me and my family basically a fish had jumped out of one of the tanks, we turned a corner and my kids spotted the fish flapping about on the floor, we put it back in its tank and just mentioned it to a member of staff who basically blamed it on us for a scaring the fish and gave us a lecture about stressing out the fish.. when we had been no where near it only coming across it tank becaue it was laying on the floor dying g 8/10ft away... So yeah he was not very nice or polite, the rest of the staff were lovely the lady doing the reptiles was very informative and friendly it's a lovely herp/pet shop. Would give it a 4 but because of the negative experience it will be a 2 until we return .

  Disappointed by our visit today. Not a great selection of tropical fish, some empty tanks and others very overcrowded. Some tanks really needed a clean and to improve water flow with large amounts of algae on the sediment. A couple of fish had really bad fin rot unavoidable unfortunately but not good to see. The outdoor fish looked much happier and a good selection of plants also! Hopefully just a bad day in the fish shop relating to the recent heat not a long term issue! Sad to see they no longer sell small animals or birds but are still selling inverts and reptiles. Good selection for the "normal" pets of dogs and cats also

  All the fish tanks are covered in alge. The other areas are better but the fish section is very poor
