Good shops in Westcountry

[Arfthebrick]

Hi Guys I am a New Bee. I travel throughout the west country every week mainly in Devon and Cornwall areas but can go to Bristol and Cardiff areas on occassions, my question is can any body suggest good tropical fish shops in the Bristol / Cardiff and surrounding areas worth visiting, saving a lot of wasted time fuel and effort.Will keep on looking for details of post codes to shop etc. Thanks for all your help Arf.

:hi: Hi Arf, welcome to plecoplanet.
trimar is always good if you're heading into cornwall at all.
there is a reasonable maidenheads aquatics at wellington, and a bow aquatics just around the corner from them.
further up and there are a couple of m/a's around Bristol worth checking.
if you're on your travels up that way though, i'd go a little further up the M5 and visit aqua jardin at gloucester, i love this shop

I agree about Aqua Jardine

Staff have been most helpful to me over the years.

Thanks for warm welcome. Will definatley try out Aqua Jardine. As for tri mar, monty the owner is a great guy with good selection of plecos , just picked up a chocolate zebra off him resonable price. Aqua Jardin post code just found details on Google.Question for scatz you mention m/a's around Bristol worth checking, please excuse my ignorance what are m/a's and where might I find out more details. Thanks once again Arf.

Hi all,
Not even a specialist LFS and a very small shop, but "Pet care" on Paul Street in Chippenham (Wilts.) SN15 1LJ, close the M4, have very well kept common fish, and if you want to buy Corydoras, Tetras or Otocinclus etc, they are very good quality & cheap.

Last time I went in they had Corydoras sterbai, C. trilineatus, Otocinclus, Marbled Hatchets and some very nice Gold Tetra (Hemigrammus rodwayi).

cheers Darrel
