Tri-Mar Aquaria

Despite it's location, Cornwall's Tri-Mar Aquaria is well-known across the UK as it sells fish online. Owner Monty Ray told Practical Fishkeeping: "Tri-Mar opened in 1966 and in a short time became well known in the West Country for the quality and variety of the livestock. Since that time we have grown into one of the leading shops in the UK winning many awards in Practical Fishkeeping's Reader Polls including Best in the West 2004, 2005 and 2006 and Top Shop in the South 2007. It was also voted by readers as one of the top five shops in the UK for tropical freshwater fish in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

"For many years we have supplied customers across the UK with quality tropical fish, marine fish and invertebrates plus coldwater fish both fancy and pondfish. We are renowned for our huge varieties of fish (both rare and common) plus the quality of our stock and packing. We have eight full time members of staff, all fishkeepers and all fully trained. We have a website which attracts some 4000 hits daily where advice is freely available from our experts as well as lots of valuable information.

"Our 'Fish 2 Your Door' service offers huge variety and the best prices. We now send fish all over the UK for £10 carriage with guaranteed live arrival. In recent years marine fish and invertebrates have become a huge part of our business and we now send fish and corals all over the UK. We also send aquaria and cabinets by carrier.

"Monthly special offers are available on the Advantage Scheme, which is open to anyone who wishes to join. All that we ask is that you give us your email address so we can send you details of offers to you.

"As one of the major suppliers of aquaria for tropical, coldwater, marine and reefkeepers, we are pleased to be able to show a selection of the set-ups that we keep. We supply aquaria by most of the major names in the aquatic trade and are please to be able to offer a competitve quote for any set-up. The manufacturers that have proved to be the most popular in recent times are Aqua One and we are pleased to be able to supply most of their tanks from stock."
