Wow 😳

You've all been on it today 😂😂

We have never had so many enquiries about Discus as we've had today.

J has been juggling messages and phone calls while serving customers 🤯. She's now having a lie down 😂

M has been on the phone with the discus supplier. After a bit of pretty please with a cherry 🍒 on top, he's managed to secure more at the same amazing price that will arrive next week.

All the other fish have asked us to mention that they're also beautiful and a great price too!

We're kicking off our September Super Savers with Premium Discus at a fantastic price!

The Discus will be available from Friday onwards as we won't let them go out until we're sure they're all settled and eating well!

In the interests of fairness, we're limiting our sales to 10 discus per customer.

We also won't be reserving any of these, even if you send circled pictures and videos 😂. It makes things far too complicated and we're both old.

If you order online, you can request a colour type and we will do our best to make sure that's what you get.

We CANNOT s*x these discus so please don't ask.

New Tiktok because J forgot all the login details for the old one 😂 Please follow us 🙏🏻

This new Tiktok is being run by our fabulous friends T & A so will be updated regularly by the younger generation who understand it all 😂.

M & J struggle with all these new fangled ideas and still remember dial up internet and reverse charge phone calls from public payphones to mums 😳

Update on our new humongous tank 😁

We're running 2x FX6 filters and we've added a 3ft Spider wood, ocean rock to create caves and river pebbles. We have zoned lighting including a fluval aquasky, hygger linkable lighting and a full colour spectrum bar.

Fish include Malawi Peacocks, Haps and Mbuna and then Frontosa, Bemba and Duboisii all from our own fish rooms.

M is absolutely in love with this beast 😍

Our current Discus are so excited 😆, we've managed to secure some absolute beauties to join them at a fantastic price 😁

The new Discus will be arriving next week and as always, because we've got a great deal, they'll be cheaper for our fabulous customers too (while stocks last).

We'll be posting pictures and prices next week when they arrive - so excited 😊 😊 😊
