I have many times. Brilliant place. A bit old school in their setups but they work and are crystal clear. Never a dead fish to be seen and the bonus being a family run business.

I have visited there a few times.
That's where I bought George the Flash pleco a few weeks ago (bought on-line for collection).
I have not used there "fish by post" ordering service as it is close enough to visit (about 60 miles away).
I have however used Aqualife Leyland for my "fish by post" ordering (Link)
Check the Aqualife Leyland website, click on "Tropical" for tropical fish, if there is something there of interest then give them a call for prices & quantity.
I have not had any issues with "fish by post" from Aqualife Leyland, fish are double bagged, often individually bagged, the bags are wrapped in paper, a heat pack is also added, then places in a polystyrene box with lid and then placed in a cardboard box for delivery the next day.

All the best

Thanks all! 👍👍

I am potentially looking to rehome my Congo tetras as I'm not happy they have enough room, as although my current tank is around 190ltrs it's not particularly long. I really like the look of diamond tetras and so far Sweet Knowle seems to be the only place I can find them.

I would be ordering for delivery though rather than being able to visit. Not imminent though but useful to know people who have been there etc.

Having said that, I've just looked at the link @Stephen gave for Aqualife and they are listed as stock but it says 'wild' next to the name.

Does this literally mean wild caught (not as in throwing wild parties lol) and if so is there a difference in care? Do wild fish do OK in tanks?

Wild = wild caught, so coming from the river/lake where they are naturally found in Venezuela and not mass bred in Europe/Asia
