The Aquatic Store

The Aquatic Store is an aquarium shop located in Bristol, offering a wide range of aquatic products and services. With a 5-star licence granted by the Bristol City Council, it is a trusted destination for all fish enthusiasts.

The store is owned and operated by Nicholas Cox, who holds the licence for the premise at 28 North Street. With a combined knowledge and experience of 27 years, the helpful staff at The Aquatic Store are always ready to offer expert advice and assistance to customers. Their dedication and expertise have earned them a reputation as one of the top 40 aquatic retailers in the UK, as recognised by Practical Fish keeping magazine for eight consecutive years. The store was also awarded the South West Retailer Runner Up in 2017.

At The Aquatic Store, customers can expect to find an extensive selection of tropical fish sourced from around the world. With 140 aquariums in store, customers can choose from 90 community tanks, 10 nano tanks, 16 oddball tanks, and 24 rift valley tanks. This diverse range of aquarium setups ensures there is something to suit every taste and preference.

In addition to fish, The Aquatic Store also offers a wide variety of aquatic potted plants sourced from Holland. These plants, including popular brands like Tropica, are kept in a state-of-the-art plant system that utilises intense LED lighting and fertilisers containing all the necessary micro and macro elements for optimal plant health. Customers can find a range of plants such as Anubias, Microsorum, Echinodorus, Cryptocoryne, Hygrophila, Limnophila, Pogostemon, Vallisneria, and many more.

The Aquatic Store takes a strong stance against the dyeing and tattooing of fish. They have joined forces with Practical Fish keeping Magazine to fight against this harmful practise in the UK. Dyeing and tattooing involves injecting fish with dyes and subjecting them to chemical treatments, causing immense stress, pain, and vulnerability to diseases. The Aquatic Store ensures that none of their fish are subjected to this practise, providing ethically sourced and naturally coloured fish.

Located at 28 North Street in Bedminster, Bristol, The Aquatic Store is easily accessible to fish enthusiasts in the area. They offer a fish guarantee policy, ensuring that all livestock sold is in perfect health and fit for the customer's home aquarium. With regular water testing and individually filtered aquariums, the store maintains impeccable conditions for their sale aquariums.
