🌧️ With the weather becoming increasingly dramatic, water lettuce season is sadly coming to an end!

These gorgeous floating plants won’t enjoy living outside for much longer, so from now on ALL water lettuce is the same price—big or small! 🌿

Simply let us know which ones you’d like. The biggest plants are still being kept outside for now because, frankly, they’re bloody enormous. 😂

🌿 £4.50 each
🌿 3 for £11

Perfect for providing shade, cover and dangling roots for pond fish while the season lasts!

🦚 THE FIRST REVEAL… PEACOCK EELS! 🦚

Hidden amongst today’s delivery were some beautiful Peacock Eels! 😍

These curious little oddballs love snuffling through the sand, hiding beneath décor and then suddenly appearing when food is involved. Basically, tiny aquatic drama noodles.

They’re currently settling in after their journey, but we couldn’t keep them secret for too long!

And no, this isn’t the only exciting fish Rebel dragged herself through the rain for… 👀

Rebel has been dragged out in the rain to supervise tonight’s delivery… as you can see, she is absolutely thrilled about it. 😂🐾🌧️

This box contains plenty of our usual favourites, alongside a couple of fish that LOTS of you have been asking us to get back in stock! 👀

Here’s your clue…

🖤🧡 One is stripy, sociable and eventually becomes an absolute unit.

🪱 The other is long, spotty and would happily spend half its life pretending to be buried treasure.

Any guesses? 🤔

We’ll reveal everything once they’re unpacked and settled!

🧄 WHY ADD GARLIC TO YOUR FISH FOOD? 🐟

Garlic isn’t just for us humans! Adding garlic to your fish’s diet can have some great benefits:

✨ Encourages feeding – garlic can make food more appealing, especially for fussy or reluctant eaters.

🛡️ Supports the immune system – garlic contains natural compounds that can help support your fish’s overall health.

🐠 Great for picky eaters – particularly useful when introducing new foods or tempting fish that aren't eating well.

🌿 A natural dietary boost – an easy way to add something extra to their regular feeding routine.
And if you don't fancy adding garlic yourself, we've got you covered! 😍

Betta Choice Artemia – enriched with 10% garlic 🧄

Flash frozen and packed with brine shrimp goodness — perfect as part of a varied diet.

📍 Available in store now!

Well, this was a lovely surprise! 🥰

A customer brought us this enormous box of biscuits as a thank-you for the pond advice we gave them.

We’re always happy to help, with absolutely no expectation of chocolate in return… although apparently chocolate is very effective at guaranteeing continued excellent advice 😂🐟

Thank you so much—it’s genuinely appreciated! 💙

⏰ Closing at 5pm today! ⏰

We’ll be closing a little earlier than usual today so Charlie can lock himself away with some paperwork and get everything ready for our brand-new labelling system! 🐟🏷️

The new labels are designed to make finding the right fish and understanding their care requirements much easier while you’re browsing the shop.

Sorry for any inconvenience—we’ll be open as usual tomorrow! 💙
