| Fishey Business Portslade |
| The Portslade branch of Fishey Business is based on Boundary Road next door to the Aldi superstore. The staff told Practical Fishkeeping: "Aquatics is an absorbing and fascinating interest that leads you into many different aspects of fish, amphibian and plant life. At the heart of the hobby is the challenge of recreating a part of the natural world in miniature; to enjoy scenes from nature in your own home or garden that otherwise only the privileged few can see in the wild. At Fishey Business you will find dedicated and knowledgeable enthusiasts who can help you or your children to get started or improve your knowledge – Our three centres are well worth a visit – particularly if you are an avid enthusiast. Amateur experts travel from miles around to seek advice and to buy the unusual species we hold in stock. "Featuring at our Portslade branch: 122 Tropical livestock tanks housing good quality regulars, 'L number' plecs, African Cichlids, ornamental shrimps and ‘oddballs’. 500 gallon Marine fish system with hand picked specimens from TMC. 150 gallon coral system with mature live rock and “critter” tanks. 22 coldwater tanks housing fancy goldfish and native cold water fish in season. 11 Pond fish vats housing shubunkins, goldfish, wakins, koi, including butterfly and ghost varieties and starlets. Outside we have a good selection of marginal and oxygenating plants and beautiful pygmy and regular water lilies. To support this fabulous range of livestock, we have a full range of indoor aquariums and garden ponds, together with all the equipment and fish keeping supplies you may need." |
