We really enjoy having locals schools on board!! If you think this would be great for yours please get in touch !!!

Fishkeeper Fry is back for 2027, and registration is now open!

This short 8-week programme has been designed to be delivered in the classroom by the schools' own teachers. It uses a series of weekly online instructional films, engaging worksheets, and added-value films, which provide step-by-step lessons about setting up an aquarium, adding fish and looking after those fish day-to-day.

The resources have all been developed to support the National Curriculum and to get children excited about keeping fish and understanding how to look after and care for them responsibly. Participating schools will be provided with their very own free aquarium and all the associated equipment that is used in the programme to enable them to follow along with the films and set up and care for their own aquarium in the classroom – all with the support of the expert fishkeepers based at a Maidenhead Aquatics store near to your school.

With the warmth of summer, the Water lilies (Nymphaea) are in full growth and often flowering if they’re mature enough. Throughout our stores you’ll find many varieties and like Dwarf conifers or Japanese Acers, their price tends to vary depending on their growth rate and eventual size. A bargain lily will often be a very vigorous form that will quickly outgrow a small pond and require frequent dividing and repotting to keep it in check. As can be seen from this photo, raindrops will bead off the waxy cuticle of floating leaves and enable the plant to respire. Placing a lily with its leaves submerged or in the constant splash of a fountain will effectively drown the plant.
