Plenty of stock fish wise plant deco for tanks and equipment . Stock plenty of different branded food and treatments
HI Tyler, thankyou for the review, it means a lot to us. hope to see you again soon
Negative experience: Thought we'd give the shop another try since we haven't been in for a couple years; since every fish we've ever bought from them (tetras, plecos, reedfish, angels etc) either got ill/died within the first few hours of getting them home. Upon walking in, the tanks looked a hell of a lot cleaner than what they used to look like. That seems to be the only positive we've took from this. We bought some rummy nose tetras & a red devil angelfish & within hours the angels health had depleted; from swimming through the plants and decor to laying on the substrate with laboured breathing. We put the angel in its own tank overnight with treatment & it's no better so it's definitely not a problem with our water (since it's a well established tank with very healthy fish, surely if there was a problem with our water such as ammonia, we'd have nothing but dead fish?) So it has to be a problem with the fish itself because all the other fish are feeding (rummys included), lively and swimming fine. Extremely disappointed not only because we had to spend more money rushing around for treatment but upsetting, because we love fish keeping and hate seeing them suffer.
Hi, im sorry to hear that you have had an issue with the Angel that you purchased from us. we have had no issues with them at all here. If you would like to come down i will make sure that you are compensated for this.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant shop, LOTS of variety in their selection of aquatic creatures! Very helpful and lovely staff! Highly recommended A***
Hi Liam, thankyou for the review, we are always happy to help. hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: This is an independent aquatics shop. The owners are always happy to advise and know their stuff. Good healthy fish and lots of variety. Always have some unusual specimen fish. Great selection of food, substrate and decorations. Healthy liive plants. Well worth a visit.
Negative experience: I pop in this evening and was going to spend so amount of money in the shop but the lady in there was so Rude can could not get me out of the shop quick enough so went to pet station and they was help full and polite so 10 minutes of there time as gained £50 in there till not yours unfortunately
Fantastic experience: Fantastic store. When I started fish keeping I had been to many aquatic stores but Ak aquatics was the best by far. Staff are very informative and friendly. I've never had an issue with any fish bought from the store and they have a good variety of fish available. I would recommend this place to any fish keeper.
Fantastic experience: Great local aquatics store - owner is extremely welcoming and helpful. Wide stock of fish and invertebrates at a reasonable price,a great stock of aquatic plants as well as a comprehensive stock of all hardware and feeds. Wholeheartedly recommend
Fantastic experience: I went back after it came under new ownership and now I am happy to go back and purchase my fish gravel and everything the new owner I think they call him jake is very helpful and will advise to the best of his knowledge good small business now
Hello Tracey,
Sorry you had a problem. I have spoken to the member of staff and i was in store on the of your purchase. I remember him saying to you the gravel was used. We wasn't aware it had snails in or we wouldn't have sold this to you without a warning. The member of staff contacted me to say that a customer with a snail problem had been on the phone swearing at him so he hung up. We always work with people to sort out any issue but we will not be sworn at when trying to help. As you have now spoken to him the second time and he has offered you a few solutions F.O.C. we hope this can be resolved in a reasonable maner.

Fantastic experience: Amazing selection of fish, some really quality rare species everytime I visit. The gentleman that works in the shop has excellent knowledge and a genuine passion for the hobby. Only downside is i’ve been a few times when finishing work around 4:30 to find it closed when its meant to be open until 6 according to the opening hours on google. Still definitely recommended.
