One of my favourite fish in store! Extremely active and colourful these barbs require a modist sized aquarium to thrive with equally robust tank mates. They feed well, this was about an hour after their morning feed 🤣

Crystal-clear water starts with effective filtration.

Fishkeeper Activated Carbon is a high-quality chemical filter media designed to remove impurities, odours, discolouration and dissolved organic waste from your aquarium, helping to keep your water looking cleaner and healthier.

It's also ideal for removing medication residues after treatment and can be used in most aquarium filtration systems, making it a simple upgrade for tropical and coldwater aquariums alike.

Why choose Fishkeeper Activated Carbon?

• Helps remove impurities and unwanted odours
• Improves water clarity
• Absorbs dissolved organic pollutants and toxins
• Ideal for removing medication residues
• Suitable for most aquarium filters
• Includes a FREE filter media bag

The ‘Protect Your Pets - Say No to Harmful Positive Lists’ petition is about the future of fishkeeping in the UK.

It responds to proposals that would introduce a ‘positive list’ system. This would limit which species can be legally kept, sold, or traded.

According to the Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association, this approach could:

• Reduce the number of species available to a very small list
• Exclude commonly kept fish due to lack of data, not risk
• Create new welfare challenges rather than solving them
• Increase pressure on responsible fishkeepers and aquatic businesses
The petition helps show policymakers how many people this would affect.

If you keep fish or care about responsible fishkeeping, your voice matters.

Well the time has come to say goodbye as Mason bids us farewell here at Cirencester and on to his new role as manager of a shiny new store in Gloucester.

Having been with us exactly 6 years we wish Mason all the best for the future and I'm sure we'll be in regular contact especially when we have a fish delivery considering they are just down the road.

Good luck Mason you'll be missed and thanks for all your help here with us at Cirencester!
