Please be aware that we are still working on our site at the moment and it is advisable to check pricing by phoning or visiting the store.
It has been gratifying to enjoy the loyalty of our regular customers we have come to know as friends, and equally as gratifying to see more and more new customers coming back frequently to look around, ask questions, seek advice, and recommend us to their friends. That sort of result justifies the huge amount of work that goes on unseen to make the shop the icon it has become in the hobby circles. Without that customer loyalty we could not operate to the very high standards we strive to attain.

Bangai Cardinal
Pterapogon Kauderni
This spectacular fish is also known as the emperor cardinal. It occurs around the Indonesian Island of Bangai to Sulawesi. The maximum size is 3”, is relatively peaceful fish and is ideally suited to a reef aquarium. Although they have a restricted in the wild, the breeding habit of the Bangui Cardinal has meant that it has been possible to create aquarium-bred stock relatively easy. These fish are mouth brooders with the male carrying the eggs until they hatch. The fry are large enough to be fed brine shrimp and can be kept in small groups alongside other non-aggressive species. Their white-spotted pattern on their fins and deeply forked tail fin make them easily recognizable

Sterbai Corydoras
Sterbai Corydoras
This is a particularly beautiful species, which comes from the upper Juapore river systems in Brazil. Also it is now being tank bred in the Far East in large quantities.
The rich speckling of the Antaerior half of the body merges into a number of fin irregular dark bands that run onto the base of the tail fin. The lower cheek area and particularly the front fin can be a rich golden yellow and some of these golden hues extend into the pelvic fins. All the other fins are liberally speckled. They grow to a maximum size of 3”. Currently we have large wild stock available from Brazil at £12.99 and tank bred medium fish at £6.99.

Hard Corals
We now carry a large stock of stony hard corals included some cultivated species. To keep this beautiful corals in their best conditions, the water parameters should be kept as closely to the water flowing over the coral reef. Water flow and the correct lighting are also very important in the wellbeing of these invertebrates. At present we have for example Plerogyra Sinuosa, Euphyllia Species, Acropora Species, Montipora Species, Favia Species, Catalaphyllia Jardinei, Fungia Species, Galaxea Species, Goniopora Species, Tubastraea aurea.
