Aquatic Shops/internet Sites

[Jamie24]

Hi folks, some of you may have or may not have seen my few posts but I've recently purchased my Aqua one 620T and I'm buying/researching lots before I'm ready to set up my tank probably after Xmas.

Just wondering if it's at all possible if people would post links or info as to where they buy there fish and equipment as being from the NW area (Cheshire) I find it hard to come by very good and professional aquatic stockists, I'm willing to travel within reason to buy the fish/equipment and so far I've found:

The Abyss in Stockport, Pier Aquatics in Wigan and Rare Aquatics in Crewe... I would like to avoid little shops at the back of garden centres as in my opinion there not aquatic specialist minded (Cheshire seem to have a lot of these shops).

Thank you for you help.

i would pick one of those and make them your favourite its amasing how good those shops can be esp if you shop their often.

I have visited The Abyss (Stockport) and is the place were I bought my tank, heater, test kit etc etc (spent quite a few quid) but for some reason there tropical fish selection seemed quite small, they do seem to favour Marine which is there choice but simple things like male cherry barbs, cardinal tetras and pleco's were non-existent.

stock at any LFS will rotate and update pretty regularly. I drop into mine every 2-3 weeks just see if there's anything new....and there usually is.
