So to amuse me while I fix my tank issues,
What if any online stores would you recommend if you have used them in the past?
Thanks in advance.

Livestock shipment has pretty much finished for a lot of companies at the moment and some are only 1 day a week for delivery so demand is high. Covid and winter to blame. The only one I have used is Plymouth Discus and they were very good.

Plants:

(it's a sticky)
Decor:
Basically I get it from shops so I can see what it's actually like, but some those on the above lists do hardscaping decor as well.
Fish:
I could have sworn there was a sticky on this as well, but I'm damned if I can find it.....
Leyland Aqualife, Trimar are two for starters.

A note on that without being overly critical - Trimar aren't as they once were.plankton wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 10:09 am Plants:

I believe so, but not certain. It was put up for sale a few years ago now so I assume yes. But purely an assumption. They have a nice facility now but I loved the old shop. Dank, dingy but full of treasures. I will probably visit on Saturday morning as I'm working nearby this week.

I should add that they're not a bad shop, just not as good as they once were.

I found a lot of decent TROPCO reviews and did actually order from them. But they had to cancel because i’m about 20 miles north of their furthest delivery point (NE Scotland). Sweet Knowles is another i’ve Looked at and Riverpark (Glasgow) gets good reviews from Scottish fishkeepers I know.
