We've got a load of new marine fish in this week! Here's a little selection!

User

One of our most popular tanks a year in!
The Andaman or KFH range comprises of 4 lengths: 600mm, 900mm, 1200mm and 1500mm. They are rimless tanks with sump filters suitable for either Freshwater or Marine. Each tank comes with LED lighting, tank covers, pipework, cabinet and sump. This particular tank was purchased from us a little over 12 months ago. The customer went for a lighting upgrade and runs on the Triton method. I think you will agree it looks stunning!
... Coming later this year we have the Andaman “Supers” which go up to 1800mm long and are deeper in profile and height!

Visited today from Milton Keynes, the shop is out of this world and I was told by the lovely lady in the coral and fish department that it’s still not finished.

Very well stocked with some impressive specimens of fish and coral. We will be coming back next weekend I think

User

Nigel is the man!!!!

I love going to Shirley aquatics, it’s such a brilliant place and the staff are fantastic. Me and my partner first went there to get some information on starting a new fish tank. Nigel was amazing, very knowledgeable on every fish we asked about and told us what would go perfect together and what wouldn’t. He gave us all the best information to make sure the fish were happy and healthy in our tank. He was very patient with us as we came in a lot to ask questions and he was brilliant. We have now been coming in every week for the last month to get fish and every time is a pleasure, I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Nigel is a credit to an already brilliant team. Cya guys soon :)

User

Massive selection of marine, tropical, cold water and pond fish. The tanks all looked very well looked after. The staff were very knowledgable and polite

User

Loved Nigels assistance this afternoon, been plagued by snails and previously had loads of different things. Nigel was the first person who suggested a chemical solution, which wouldn't take months to solve the problem.

Thank you so much Nigel.

User

Just down the road from me now they've moved. Really friendly and helpful staff and the store is really looking good.

User

I bought my little Bearded dragon hatchling along with all the components for the enclosure and the lady working in the reptile section was wonderful! She was very knowledgable about the dragon and everything that was needed!

Friendly staff and great layout

User

Brilliant, friendly staff today in the reptile section. Lottie was so helpful helping me find the perfect reptile for me and the space I had available. I was able to take my time and handle some of the potential lizards which helped to make my decision. I went with a gorgeous albino leopard gecko in the end and Lottie helped make sure I had everything my new friend needed. Thank you Shirley Aquatics for an excellent reptile experience, would definitely recommend.

User

Been to Shirley aquatics a few times now to get reptile supplies and I have always had absolutely amazing service and advise from Charlie in the reptile department. She is an absolute credit to the team!

User

Been there a few times now and it's pretty great to be honest. The prices of some items is above market but there are somethings which are much cheaper than you'd get elsewhere. Their tropical collection is really good as well.. Also 4 plants for £10 is a bargain too.

User

Amazing place with lovely staff!!! Stumbled across the reptile department and after months and months of trying to get a crested gecko these guys had some lovely tailless ones and just could not resist!! Very happy with everything and will defiantly be back for more! � Thank you Lottie you was brilliant yesterday.

User

Great stock and fish room, love the big shark tank upstairs and lovely range of decorations. My only bad point is some of the staff, we were getting some fish and were told wrong information and when we got to the till and the girls were too busy finishing their conversation to see to us. On the plus side the 1st time i went the staff were lovely just the second time was a let down

User

Went on good Friday it was very busy so difficult to look round. There is still some building work to be done but once finished will be great, with a good selection of fish will return in a couple more months when outdoor is finished

User

I go all time but today i go with my boy an in reptile section i find a cliver and a syringe on a tabe an no staff in room i let my boy walk ahead imagine if a child got hold off it

User

Came about 3 weeks ago to get everything I needed to get my first aquarium set up! And as a noob I asked for information and advice as I wanted plants in the tank! Guy gave me stuff to put into the water for the plants and put in the dosage the guy told me to put in! Now my plants are DEAD and my tank is full of nitrite and nitrate which the plant food stated its nitrite free! Might come back for supplies but I won’t be asking for advice anymore!

User

was better than the old site but there was dead fish in the pond area and the staff seemed to just be wandering round prices not on everything which i find is quite silly better prices just need to sort the staff out etc

User

Where do I start? We were regular visitors to the old premises which I couldn't fault. Friendly helpful staff but not a patch on the old place. The premises are far too small, far too cramped, fish corals plants as always in great condition, but just felt it lacked space. Building works still going on considering the grand opening was 4 months ago. You would have thought the store would have been almost ready before opening. Parking a nightmare! Shared with becketts farm and the other retail units cars abandoned everywhere which is not Shirleys fault but not as good as a designated parking area. The shark tank looked amazing but not the cabinet it is sat on, looked tired with the panels all hanging off. On the whole don't think we will be returning.

User

Sorry S.A. but after 20+ years of being a regular customer, today's visit to see an incomplete store will probably be my last. #poor parking provision, large puddles of water on the floor in CW section. Time to try online in future and save the hassle.

User

Real let down store is small,standard fish every shop has Nothing diffrent or new. Impressive big tank but seems wasted to me should of filled it with monster fish to sell. Stores nice and fresh but could of been so much better. I imaged it to be more like wharf aquatics but iv been to people garages with more fish.

User

Just came back from the New Shop and can promise I will never Go Back , Wanted to buy pond fish But Nobody was interested in serving Me 3 members of staff sat upstairs chatting, One member of staff upstairs cleaning tank glass, Two Members of staff in with the Tropical fish but no customers, one man putting plants in tanks One and only one person serving at selling fish , Finally two girls on checkout one working one watching, I shall Never return but will advise pull you fingers out and learn customer service
