| Fishey Business Eastbourne |
| The Eastbourne branch of Fishey Business is one of four stores in the chain which are based throughout East and West Sussex, with an additional shop in Surrey. The shop 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. "At our Eastbourne branch we offer something for fish keepers of all levels of experience however our speciality is in unusual tropical fish. Nevertheless, Marine and Invertebrate collectors, you always can rely on us to provide a good selection of interest to you. We keep large numbers of plecos, including some rare ones such as Zebra Pleco L46 and Hypostomus luteus; also freshwater stingrays. Other examples of unusual fish we keep regularly are Zebra shovelnose catfish and Asian arowana. "We have a selection that is changing constantly, to add interest to every visit. Apart from this livestock, our showroom houses a wide selection of aquariums, cabinets, filters and lighting; also equipment and supplies both for the home aquarium and the water garden. From March to October we open our pond fish and plant department. Here you will find all the normal ornamental and fancy varieties of goldfish, in particular some beautifully marked Japanese and other Koi, also a wide range of marginal and aquatic plants, including water lilies. "Outside in our extensive display grounds you will find a wide selection of fountains, pre-formed cascades and ponds and water features both traditional and contemporary in style. Hilliers, our host garden centre, operates an attractive coffee shop, that serves delicious hot and cold snacks and drinks." The Eastbourne shop is located at Hillers Garden Centre, Hailsham Road Stone Cross, Pevensey, Eastbourne. |
