Re stock of frozen foods now in. Including bloodworm, cyclops and whole mussel

We are trying out the 40 gram pots of 90% hatch rate Artemis cysts from Aquadip. We will as always be trying these out ourselves to ensure good hatching Artemia are living organisms and as such will often require minor adjustments to your procedures to obtain the best results. What has worked for you for years can often not be the case if there are changes in the environments the eggs are produced in or changes at a more local level to your water supply Water quality coming through your tap can also be an issue in itself with not only high nitrates but a lot other nasties have been discovered when using products such as seachem purigen and filter pads These will be on sale once tested in our own hatchery

Last few gold rams only £7.50 each. The very popular gold sucking loach - last few £3.50. Hoplo catfish £3.95 We will be restocking all our tanks on our return from South America. Livebearers are now once again being produced on site and customers are eagerly buying them before they have even finished growing out because they are such stunning coloured and 100% healthy fish.

Couldn't resist a few quick snaps of the salmon hippo point

New small tanks from Clearseal. Made quickly to order from their local factory These are a new breeding tanks for our ongoing breeding programmes We also have a few for sale in the shop

I have been lucky enough to have some rainbow fish eggs from Alex in the past all successfully hatched and raised on GP - hundreds of them. Failing with infusoria so far so will be trying Alex”s method Jared Chohan

Goldfish fry colouring up nicely in the daylight. When you buy in quality fish you get a quality outcome - strong healthy brood stock. When you buy cheap goldfish you get the dregs after all the good stock has been graded out. As I keep saying - a dead fish is not a cheap fish

Tropheus breeding in the shop this morning. More goldfish trying to spawn. Another group of swordtail fry.

More fish.

Still going
