I discovered this shop yesterday and ended up buying something from them. The store owners are great.

I couldn't go in the shop but when I was there I met a lad who has an aquascaping you tube channel. He is supported by the shop and has a tour of the shop video.

I cannot bloody wait till I can go and have a look around.

They are in newton aycliff incase anyone from the north east wants to visit.

Thanks Andy, they are within striking distance for a day out for me. I found one in Durham to be very pricey!

Fish alive or tropical supplies northeast?

Horizon only opened about 6 months ago. I'm guessing they've let the stock run down and are waiting the lockdown out. I did notice a fish room on that tour video.

Have you been to horizon yet @Sarah You can book half hour or 1 hour appointments now. I was in last week. It's amazing.

Magic. They had some stunning betta in there when I was down on Friday. I had to restrain myself when I saw the platinum Angel's.

I dare not spend much longer in there! There was a stunning orange and blue betta that would fit my new shrimp tank!!!! But probably the shrimp would then fit in the betta! I was so tempted I am looking for something else for to add to the 30ltr cube but it's 50 - 50 mixing those two species. The plants looked pretty good too.
It's the only place I have been for this whole 10 weeks or so. I could have gone mad in there!
