Amazing shop. They had a great selection of Mbuna and Graham done a great job of helping me chose the right ones for my tank and giving me plenty of info about them. All the staff we spoke to were very friendly. Will definitely visit again. Totally worth the 3.5 hour drive there and back

'Fantastic Experience'

Fantastic experience at the shop today! I picked up some neon tetras, food, and a water pump, and Ed was brilliant—super friendly, very knowledgeable, and clearly cares about the fish and customers. Everything was explained clearly and I left feeling confident about my setup. Highly recommend!

D-D Reef-Pro Aquariums

The D-D Reef-Pro aquariums are based on decades of experience and are what D-D believe is the perfect system for beginners and advanced aquarists alike. With a taller stand and slightly shallower tank, the D-D Reef-Pro offers a different take on the traditional home aquarium.

Why Wharf?

Wharf Aquatics has now won multiple awards over more than 20 years from Practical Fishkeeping magazine, and is no doubt one of the best-known and busiest specialist aquatic centres in the UK.

Why has a local independent aquatic shop in a small town been so successful? We believe it is due largely to our committed staff - which includes many long-term and respected hobbyists with decades of experience both in the fishkeeping hobby and the aquatic trade.

Service with a smile.

Friendly and approachable staff.

Amazing range of livestock.

From bread & butter to mega rare.

Always happy to help.
