Acuarios de Cheshire

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of fish and a wide range of animals

Experiencia negativa: Do they even know anything about animal welfare?!

Experiencia fantástica: Extremely Helpful Team and could not fault them. I had purchased fish from Pets at home and unfortunately they had passed the next day. Confused and upset I wanted a solution and had taken a water sample. They did not explain what was found on the testing but had told me that I had overfed the fish and that in order to get new fish I would need to empty out 50% of the water and another 25% and then come back in a week for further testing. When I had gone back to pets at home they had told me that the water conditions were safe for fish however as they weren’t selling fish on that day I could not buy the fish from them on that day so I had gone to Blakemere instead. I had purchased 4 fish from blakemere and unfortunately 3 of the fish had passed the following morning. I had felt very upset, confused and extremely guilty. I was able to save one fish and noticed as soon as I put it another tank (one that I had set up for a different type of fish hopefully in the future) the behaviour of the fish changed. I called to explain this to the Tristan at blakemere and he was very empathetic and helpful and had advised me to come in for another water testing. He had tested the water infront of me and had told me that the water that the fish were in was still not safe for the fish and explain each part of what each colour meant from the testing. And gave me advice on how to further care for the remaining fish. Unfortunately although the remaining fish was in a new tank with safe water they were already compromised from the living conditions in the previous and that fish has also died. Tristan was very empathetic and helped me to not feel guilty and gave me advice and a leaflet to help me to improve the quality of both tanks moving forward. Overall all the staff at Blakemere are very friendly, informative and helpful and are happy to take the time to help and explain what is best. It is very clear that they care for all the fish and animals and they have specialist for each type and are happy to answer any questions you have. I would highly recommend Blakemere and their extremely helpful team.

Experiencia fantástica: Great quality fish at very reasonable prices. Very knowledgeable staff, extremely helpful too. My go to place lately and I am in Crewe. 5*s

Experiencia fantástica: My experience here was fantastic the information and advice i received about how to get my first aquarium cycled how to check the water and how to add my fish when the tank is ready is very helpful to a Newby fish keeper also the fish prices are brilliant and they do amazing deals on the fish also. The young man I spoke to has his own aquarium and is knowledgeable speak to him if you need help brilliant

Experiencia positiva: Nice place ,not got loads of tropical fish but do have carp and everything you need to be well equipped

Experiencia fantástica: Nice.has little fair and other shops

Experiencia positiva: It is a great place if you like fish or keep fish. Lots of interesting tropical fish. Or if you simply want to shelter from the rain. Located within Blakemere craft centre. It's well worth a visit.

Experiencia positiva: Very good quality fish

Experiencia fantástica: Nice pet shop and friendly staff! Been coming here for a long time! #petlovers #furbabies

Experiencia fantástica: Visited the shop, looking for Bamboo shrimps. We were served by Daisy, what a lovely, polite lady, and very knowledgeable.

Experiencia positiva: Visited once again today to buy my daughter another hamster as one just isn't enough it seems, the man who I originally dealt with seems a little nervous to talk and went to get his supervisor to help, upto viewing the hamster he dropped the poor thing on the floor, it didn't seem hurt or anything but quite shocking for a pet store worker to fumble it and it fall to the floor. On the other hand I keep fish and the supervisor was excellent, I had numerous questions and each one was answered with professional experience. He offered to show me how some of the food works by feeding the fish in store which showed me that the product was exactly what I was looking for. In short dropping a hamster on the floor could have been avoided if due care was made.

Experiencia negativa: I'm no expert but I felt that the animals were kept in poor conditions. Too many animals in a small shop.

Experiencia negativa: Wanted to contact the business directly with my concerns but could not find a link. Dropped in by chance and was shocked with what I saw. Tanks were falling apart and looked like they had not been cleaned in months. Detritus on the outside and in. Cleaning sink was blocked with gravel, plant matter and rust. I understand that a busy day means an evening clean up but it looked as though clean ups rarely happened. Staff were inattentive and chatting amongst themselves. I was looking to add to my tank but not only was I nervous to add fish from here I’m considering reporting the business to authorities. Please avoid until they clean up their act.

Experiencia positiva: Marine section needs a bit of tlc. A few Aptasia knocking around in coral trays. RO/Salt water not the cheapest around. Corals very reasonably priced. Staff always very friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Always helpful staff and full of advice with good prices

Experiencia negativa: disgusting, tanks where all gross and they had female and male bettas next to each other with no divider!! all where clearly stressed and this takes seconds to research. no display tanks which clearly shows how competent they are. selling paired cockatiels separately, birds in tiny cages. they need their licenses taking away from them asap.

Experiencia fantástica: Great fish advice, Tris really knows what he is on about, good selection of very healthy fish, and often fish that you wouldn't find in other shops, it's the only place we use after having issues with fish from other shops

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic aquatic centre with staff that are super knowledgable. Tristan helped us pick our new tanks, and gave great advice on how to start and troubleshooting beginners issues. The fish have all been high quality and healthy in the first 8 months we've been going!

Experiencia fantástica: Sound

Experiencia fantástica: Wabbit fooood

Experiencia fantástica: Live food is always fresh

Experiencia fantástica: Nice knowledgeable staff with a excellent range of products.

Experiencia fantástica: Great pet shop and for fish stuff both pond and aquarium

Experiencia positiva: Really helpful staff. Good selection of dry goods for reef tanks.

Experiencia positiva: Good range of fish and some reptiles. Worth a look even if you are not buying

Experiencia negativa: I think its got to be the worst aquatics centre hardly any selection of fish and varieties

Experiencia fantástica: Well pleased with the discus I purchased

Experiencia fantástica: Staff really friendly. Very reasonable prices and bought a cleaner shrimp for the aquarium tank at home and settled in perfectly no issues at all. Recommend this place to anyone.

Experiencia negativa: Welfare of the animals is disgusting. How they are able to sell animals is beyond me. Rabbit with a clear skin infection on its neck and cage no where big enough. Hamster with its water bottle upside down and its cage crawling with flies. They seriously need their license taking off them for selling animals, never wanted to leave some where so quick in my life before. So upsetting to see.

Experiencia negativa: The birds and rabbits are kept in a disgraceful manner. Cant believe this place is allowed to operate

Experiencia fantástica: GREAT SHOP AND GREAT STAFF have been going here for a while now, I'm so glad they survived lockdown. Update.. Still going strong I got some supplies recently and they manage to keep improving on their stock list!

Experiencia fantástica: A very large selection of fish, very helpful staff, a nice place to visit

Experiencia fantástica: Just starting a marine tank and went in to see what they had - it's just a few hundred yards from where I live and I'd never been in. Well stocked with all the hardware needed for all sorts of fish keeping and a wide range of fish fresh and salt water. What was really good was the friendly advice freely given and only the potential for some sale at a later time. All the tanks were clean, the fish and corals looked healthy and the air smelled fresh (no off-odours) giving a very positive impression. As a beginner at this, I can't claim any real knowledge but the overall impression was very positive, especially the way friendly and helpful advice was provided. I will be back! And next time, I'll spend some money! Yes I've been back several times to look at and buy fish and fish food. Always a friendly welcome. 28/11/2022 Back again for frozen marine fish food. Still nice and friendly but maybe fewer marine fish? Lots of different corals that look to be at a good price. And of course, lots of hardware, tanks, pumps, water purification gear, additives - you name it, this place has it! 08/02/2023 Dropped in for DI water (I let my set up freeze which caused the plastic to shatter! DOH!) And frozen food. Great selection of corals now in so worth a visit.

Experiencia positiva: Visited recently and wasn't impressed with the variety of tropical fish. They used to have a much larger selection. I suggest you ring ahead if you are after anything in particular to save a wasted journey.

Experiencia positiva: Very small, a guide would have made a great addition to the visit

Experiencia fantástica: Tristan and his dream team never fail to surprise, surpass and stagger me with their knowledge and expertise in all fish and pet related matters, you are missing out if you fail to visit this home from home for animal lovers. Words allude me to do it justice so pack a sandwich and flask and spend a day with Cheshire Aquatics. PS I currently am not experiencing good health, what do i do? nothing because my Picasso trigger fish is at ‘Hotel Tristan for his winter holiday and i visit him knowing he is in superb company. thank you all ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Great little pet shop

Experiencia negativa: Expensive can buy cheaper shop around

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of fish both tropical aquarium, also a good selection of tanks and ornaments/pumps etc. An assortment of other pets, feeds and bedding available.

Experiencia positiva: We go here about every month. Great place for corals but not a big selection of marine fish.

Experiencia positiva: Some nice fish some see a little expensive

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely people. Loved looking at the water plants and fish. Also got some beautiful plants for the garden. I would recommend it to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Always helpful and well looked after fish

Experiencia positiva: There is a good selection of accessories and parts for aquariums. The fish selection is good but the overall condition of the tanks is pretty bad. Lots of algae, dead fish and snails. Its a shame, the aquatics side to the petshop has bags of potential, it just needs a dedicated person to care about it.

Experiencia negativa: Welfare of animals was quite poor. The birds especially seemed very stressed and displayed pacing behaviours which is a clear indicator of severe stress and boredom. The dwarf hamsters were labelled to have been in store since only 4 weeks which is far too young to be away from their mother- they should be at least 6 weeks. Rabbits were also kept by themselves despite being social animals and in very small cages. Animals very overpriced considering their lack of good welfare.

Experiencia fantástica: Helpful and friendly as always

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely little pet shop. The fish we bought from here lived for many years (unlike pets at home ones). We have also had aquatic frogs from here that were really lovely. But now we are onto a aquatic turtle. All of the aquatic life we have bought from here have been great, you can tell they are looked after properly. My dog loves the dog treat aisle, plenty of treats and chews to choose from, and all quite cheap too. I would recommend going here for small pets, birds and aquatic creatures. They sell everything you need to set up and keep your animals fed too.

Experiencia fantástica: So many resources for small pets, lots of things for Hamsters . We'll worth the visit

Experiencia fantástica: Got fish from there and they are doing great

Experiencia fantástica: Pretty good stock of all the essentials. Some things seem well priced, others not so much. Got the things I wanted at a good price and the staff were super helpful and informative.

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant place to visit

Experiencia positiva: Vastly experienced staff who know their stuff. Wide range of animals and feed stock. With all the things you will need to keep a pet in good spirits. M

Experiencia negativa: AVOID BUYING FISH FROM HERE! the fish tanks are in a shocking state, dirty and plenty of fish with whitespot and big red lumps on there bodys . on my last visit {10/2/22} i seen at least 12 dead fish in the fresh water section.

Experiencia positiva: Looks far more impressive on the Web site. Not for us.

Experiencia fantástica: Fab

Experiencia positiva: Plenty of pets merchandise, lots of choice of fish and small pets

Experiencia positiva: Okay Fish don't seem to be kept well, cleaned

Experiencia negativa: Left work early to catch it before 5, arrived at 4:45 for the door to be locked even tho it’s advertised as open till 5

Experiencia positiva: Nice fish, and Aquatics goods

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff,all you need from dear leg to gold fish foods great place

Experiencia fantástica: I hadn't visited this place for (14) years but little had changed, probably because it was already pretty good. Parking was easy, the store was well stocked & staffed. I found what I was looking for without problem making it a worthwhile visit.

Experiencia positiva: Not bad a little expensive

Experiencia negativa: Went here a few weeks back to get stock for two large new cycled tanks. I had a good wonder around before making my choices only then when I asked for assistance was I told I couldn’t be helped right now because another member of staff was talking in that section..” only talking not serving or selling “ and only one staff allowed to serve in there at any one time. After waiting 15minutes listening to male staff member tell a customer about his own personal tanks I walked out and spent a few hundred pound elsewhere. Awful customer service, I admit it nice to chat to customers but the stand there and not making sales drove this customer away to competitors. My advice go elsewhere

Experiencia negativa: When visiting it was very upsetting to see a deceased rabbit. When a member of staff were told the response was 'oh ill sort it later'. It was very disturbing for children to see. Considering the prices they charge I would of expected the animals to be better looked after.

Experiencia fantástica: Was looking for large tank fittings and pipework - got lots of really useful advice from very helpful staff. Been back twice now for more specialised pipe work fittings. Also got good advice on availability and delivery of bulk fish orders +200. So will probably be back there again in the next month or so.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing

Experiencia fantástica: A great selection of fresh water and tropical fish, corals etc along with all the accessories, food, cleaning supplies etc you need to get a decent aquarium set up.

Experiencia negativa: Good selection of dry goods and a decent tropical / pond livestock selection. Marine livestock is very limited and not a great variety which was disappointing. Whole marine system needed a good clean also although livestock looked healthy. I'd say ok for dry goods but for marine livestock, travel a bit further to one of the major players further north.

Experiencia fantástica: Good place to go for tropical fish and anything to do with them. They have lots of other pets too. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Spot on very helpful

Experiencia fantástica: Initially went there for advice and water test due to loosing a few fish. And they were took the time to share knowledge and explain what to look which we have now hopefully resolved.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice shop. You found everything what u need to fresh and marine water.

Experiencia fantástica: Great advice on starting my 10 year olds tropical tank up.

Experiencia positiva: Good tropical fish knowledge & ok pricing.

Experiencia fantástica: A friendly down to earth shop that caters for most pet hobbies or obsessions lol.

Experiencia fantástica: Well stocked, really friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Great little pet shop with loads of variety and we'll stocked. It feels like a family business so more than happy to spend money there compared to big chains.

Experiencia positiva: Good expertise. Sorted my pond with the right equipment and advice. Thanks.

Experiencia fantástica: Been for baby fish food.

Experiencia fantástica: Great stock of nice and cheap corals

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of foods and gear for most pets, social distancing and covid measures adhered to, both tropical and cold water fish also available

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly and have helped us immensely with all our fish tank problems (being tropical fish newbies!) I cannot recommend them enough. They also have a great selection of bird accessories for our canary.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place.

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful and polite staff, helped with finding the right pump for the fish tank bubble machine

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant here. They had fish we had never seen before. Bit more expensive than anywhere else though. But it is on a craft site

Experiencia positiva: Not as good a selection as I was led to believe.

Experiencia positiva: Great little place would have gotten 5 stars but the young man kept over talking me and using scientific fish names not common name that most people understand , also tried telling me what I can and can't have in my tank I've kept fish probably longer than he's been alive .

Experiencia fantástica: Fully stocked as usual, good prices pleasant knowledgeable staff

Experiencia positiva: A good aquatic range, probably the best for miles around. The shop could do with a bit of a tidy though.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place,won't buy my pet stuff anywhere else.

Experiencia negativa: Very dissapointed with my recent visit and purchase of a water lilly. Within 24 hours of placing in my pond the water turned into what can best be described as milky coffee. I have had to completely empty my pond a thourough clean also filters and pumps and discovered lilly was potted in clay..which obviously caused the issue. 8 hours of emptying, cleaning, refilling and the loss of 2 orfs and a ghost carp all over a foot in size. Needless to say i wont recommend anyone who cares about there fish uses this place again. I certainly wont be

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant,tristan is very helpfull and he knows what hes talking about highly recomend this shop for all your pet needs and especially for your fish needs,would not shop anywere else now.

Experiencia fantástica: As always brilliant service

Experiencia fantástica: Massive choice and all the goodies your little friend desires

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic shop. The young gentleman (sorry I don't know his name). Is extremely knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice staff very friendly amazing prices and brilliant fish definitely reccomend!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great store with a fabulous selection of goods for fish, reptiles, dogs, cats, small animals and birds. Also a great selection of fish and animal.We can get everything all under one roof. Great advice and friendly staff. Definitely the best aquatic suppliers and pet shop we have found. Will definately be using for our 19 pets and fish even though it's a 40min drive. Well worth it.

Experiencia positiva: Some nice corals and marine fish. Owner very knowledgeable. Little pricey though.

Experiencia positiva: They care about the fish. They really do. Good prices and the price includes in depth detail on how to care for your fish.

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant service and a good selection of fish and associated items.. Tanks, filters etc...
