Aquajardin Gloucester

Aquajardin started in 1993 as an independent business situated at what was then Jardinerie Garden Centre and has since become Blooms Garden Centre in Gloucester.

The shop told Practical Fishkeeping: "We are a premium aquatic centre situated on a large garden and leisure centre site. The Gloucester store is an impressive 5500 sq ft contemporary store with impressive display aquariums and features.

"With a massive custom built fish and invertebrate systems, we always have something for everyone. Our staff are well experienced and have passions for high tech planted aquariums and marine reef systems.

"Specialising in nano aquariums, systems are stocked with suitable small reef fish and inverts. Our staff make weekly trips to TMC, located just 25 minutes away to ensure a constant and exciting supply.

"With tropical fish being directly imported and quarantined on-site, we boast an impressive display of healthy, happy tropical fish from all around the world. Our coldwater and Koi system are stocked with high grade, selected Koi and pond fish, conditioned at Aquajardin’s specialist farm facility in Hampshire.

"Our team have perfected the art of planted aquariums and can offer the best advice for creating beautiful displays, as well as always having a fantastic selection of Tropica plants. With such vast selection of dry goods, aquariums and live stock, we are well worth a visit! Check out the new online Rare Arrivals section of the Aquajardin website where you can see images and information of current stocks at all Aquajardin stores."
