The best tropical fish shop we’ve ever been to! We will never shop anywhere else. Sustainable Aquatics are very reasonable in terms of prices and they have a huge range of fish, plants, tanks, decor and other useful items for your tank.

“Best choice of fish”
I’ve been a customer for a while now, and I have been really impressed with the dedication and expertise of the business. They made the process of setting my first tank enjoyable and relatively simple (with really good advice on how to set up and stock the tank, at affordable prices). But even better, they were always willing to give me advice and support if I needed it. They’re passionate about supporting you in the hobby, and about the welfare of their livestock. Can’t recommend them enough!
