Fantastic experience: Keeping fish has beern a steep learning curve as we inherited them with our new house. We need to transport our biggest koi, having no idea how we asked the lovely ladies at North East Koi for advice. They were extremely helpful, explained how go about it and put together a package of bags, a box etc to move him in. We will be back here to purchase our pond needs and fish in the future.

Claire Wilkinson 3 years ago

Negative experience: Disgusting the way the female betta fish looked Poor fish needed putting out of there Misery instead of gasping for air in the tank so all can see normally this is a good shop but today I wasn’t impressed

North East Koi

Hello Claire, unfortunately the female Bettas arrived last night in a very bad way. We like to give everything a fighting chance so rather than euthanasia we rest all our fish overnight then start a course of treatment, obviously they are not on sale during this time. We take the health and well-being of all our stock very seriously, thankfully fish arriving in such a way is very rare.

Jimmy Gribbin 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: So so friendly... I'm new to fish keeping, now they've got me hooked... If they're reading this, remember the mask girls? Been back since (minus the mask!)... Still hooked...

Ashleigh Gillings 3 years ago

Negative experience: Visited this store today, walked through the door and got a box shoved in my face, and the woman just said face mask (no hello or welcome or please)…me and my partner looked around and the staff did nothing to offer any help or assistance, they came across very lazy and unwelcoming. We had chosen the get harlequin rasbora and all my partner said was could you try to get the slightly larger ones as the others would be too small for my tank and the woman said you get what you get we won’t hand pick fish due to social distancing. By this point we were very tempted to just leave.

Dave 4 years ago

Negative experience: I, like many suffer with C.O.P.D, i struggle to breath without a mask never mind with one, so I am excempt from wearing one, i have a badge i wear to show this and also a lanyard, i am registered disabled. I went to go into the shop and was told "not without a mask" when i explained i was excempt and showed my badge and lanyard, i also pointed out my blue badge on my car, i was still told, "NO" I think.its amazing how i was disgriminated against just because i have C.O.P.D and cant wear a mask. I went elsewhere to buy a new aquarium set up which cost me over £300, I know not to go there again.

Flav Gabry 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Even in these difficult times, the staff there is wonderful and welcoming, putting above all safety measures for their customers. We felt welcome, the prices are ok and of course we bought some tropical fish for our aquarium. You can even find a rich assortment of accessories there, in addition to the stock of live fish and plants. We will definitely come back!

Fantastic experience: I went to North East koi for some advice after thinking I had some parasites in my Pond, the lady I spoke to was extremely helpful, I took one of my fish and she scraped his scales and checked the mucus to find that I did have then advised me of how to fix the issue, I'm new to fish keeping and am really thankful to find such knowledgeable people who are able to share that knowledge, I will definitely be returning and would advise anyone who keeps fish in the north east to drop in for advice/ pond products / fish, its worth dropping in just to see the fish they have, thank you north east koi

Andrew Culley 6 years ago

Positive experience: First things first, the wood choice isn’t good. So if you’re looking for wood like I was it isn’t your place! That is the sole reason for losing a star. I was seriously impressed with the supply of Esha products. I bought some I didn’t even know existed, I was very happy with that! I got some vitamins and minerals for my water. I’d happily go back just for those. I forgot to even look for tropica plant food which was one reason I went. Also their dog is amazing and I wish I could have went into the back just to see him/her lol!

Positive experience: I only go here if I need to as they are pretty expensive with their things and I would try the other ones well before here and they are not that much helpful when they get a few people through the door as they usually go to the ones that they know best and I only go at a push.
