My local fish store is Maidenhead aquatics. They're great though!
totalbeginner said:i have two fish stores locally, the differences between them are like night and day, the one i use (pets at home, dundee branch) has a limited stock but the tanks are always crystal clear, i am on holiday from work this week so i have been in a few mornings and leaned the they do daily water tests and i have never seen a dead fish. The store i don't use (house of pisces, strathmartine road, dundee) is a local business with a massive range of stock, but, there tanks are disgusting ( i am keeping this to total fact only, seen it with own eyes) lots of them have green algae on the glass(i'm not just on about a tinge, actual growths), there were a few floaters in some tanks too, plus i saw 6 4" angelfish in a tank approx 3-4gal, not nice staff are good in both though. house of pisces has a great range of tanks, all brand new,
What are your LFS like?? good/bad/ugly?

Thankfully theres a local garden centre near by that's excellent and maidenhead aquatics in ear buy in st Albans, unfortunately I don't yet have a car.

http://www.FishKeeper.co.uk is their website.

I go to Maidenhead aquatics in Farnham and sometimes Guildford and Reading too as its so big. The staff are great and genuinely care about the fish and what they do!
