| Amazon Aquatics |
| Amazon Aquatics in Leigh, Lancashire, opened in 2005. Proprietors Mark and Maggi told Practical Fishkeeping: "We used to own another retail outlet in the North West but decided to sell that shop to concentrate on Amazon, this being the wholesale side of the business. However after deciding we missed being in the retail side of the hobby, we decided to also open the doors to the public. "The business in its 2000 sq ft unit was set up from scratch and the building, painting and planning of where to put the ideas we had spinning round our heads was no easy task, but with the help of Mark's dad and days that seemed to last 24 and a half hours, we managed it. "We have tried to make Amazon as spacious as possible for easy viewing of the fish, with nice wide aisles and tiered banks of tanks, which are all clearly labelled and individually filtered. With over 170 tanks of tropical and coldwater fish, you can be sure to find what you are looking for. If you can’t don’t worry, we have a minimum of two large imports a week, so let us know what you want and we will try to source it. "At Amazon, we take our responsibility for the livestock we sell seriously, we make sure that anyone buying our fish are confident that should they have a problem, we will help them to sort it out. As well as the more common tropical community fish we also always have a good selection of oddballs, including L-number plecs, stingrays, dwarf Cichlids, dragon gobies, catfish, rainbows and many others. "Our coldwater range consists of many fancy goldfish including Ranchus, Lionheads, Borneos, Rainbow Garras and Yellow Goldfish. Let us know if you are travelling some distance and we will oxygen pack your fish and provide you with a polystyrene box. "Our range of dry goods and accessories include tanks and cabinets, semi precious rocks, bogwoods, heaters, internal and external filters, dry, frozen and live foods and a wide selection of aquatic plants. "After being in the business for nearly 20 years we have always believed an aquatic shop should be run by hobbyists for hobbyists, and because of this we have built a loyal customer base both in the trade and retail side of the business. Because we are also fish wholesalers our opening hours on Monday and Tuesday are trade only, so please check our website or give us a ring for opening hours." |
