Hi
Went into this store yesterday to get Dog food, Have never bought fish from there since a bad experience 2 yrs ago with White spot !!
Hope the new re vamp means that they will be keeping better stocked fish , seems nationwide they are upgrading the fish dept.
Will have to wait and see ??

I wouldn't hold out any hope, my local store (Telford) has undergone a revamp and held a special event day to publicise it, saying that there was 20% off all fish products, prize draws, free advice etc.... Every bit of advice I heard on the day was utterly wrong, they're still hooked on the 'let the tank run for a week and then you can add fish' mentality. The tank environments looked better I must admit but there were still many sick and listless fish, lots had whitespot but were still being offered for sale.

The one here's pretty bad for advice, but the fish themselves dont seem too bad, despite some over-stocking. But I'd assume that they'd have sufficient filtration for that. Rarely dead fish in the bottom, and they all seem happy and healthy.
(They're right next to asda so i often pop in and have a look whilst doing my shopping!)

I like to blame the staff, but surely it's not their fault. They must be tought some strange things during their training!
