hi , I am heading to this venue tomorrow , has anyone been and if so what did you think , prices ok ? good selection ?. etc .
we want to make a day of it so are there any other outlets in the area ( ciclids/oddballs) worth a visit on the way or back to grimsby (done the likes of viscum and that area). cheers. ANT |

Try Wharf. A bit expensive but excellent selection and good fish. I once did Wharf and Mill Garden Centre together and I'm from near Lincoln.
Have a good day! |

i visit relatives in gainsbourgh (they cant help it!!)was going to visit mill from there looked easy did wharf and birleys in an afternoon if you have all day then you could do all three,birleys wont take too long they have some unusual fish sometimes,you guys in england are so lucky to have such a choice |

oh and lincoln aquatics is well worht a visit, thats on the allenby road trading estate off the tail end of outercircle road/ monks road in lincoln itself |

like big cats said, id give birleys a visit, its very well set out, has a good selection of all types of fish and has rare ones in sometimes, wharfe at nottingham is also good but i found its alot more for the african cichlid person like myself at the minute does have alot of community fish in but it seems the same old stuff to me |

sorry im getting wharf mixed up with maidenhead  |
| 20-05-2007 18:39 by Ant Marshall |
just got back home .
poly boxes empty  , didn't rate mill at all ,very little unusual stock compared to what they say in the adverts , called in to one at mastin moor ,near chesterfield , waste of time , so we visited sherwood forest for a couple of hours then headed to maidenhead aquatics at whisby gdn centre ,lincoln which was ok if you just want run of the mill community fish but nothing spectacular , lincoln aquatics is owned by a guy who lives in our village ,it is probably one of the best stocked shops in the area and is due to expand in the very near future ( rare and specialist fish etc) . birleys is ok for trops but the marine section is a disgrace (or it was on the 3 times we have been).
Having lincoln aquatics and woodthorpe aquatics (alford ,lincs) within a half hour drive i think i'll stick to these and not waste my time with the rubbish i've seen today.  |

ant what fish have lincoln aquatics got in at the momment in the rare . stuff |
| 21-05-2007 07:48 by Ant Marshall |
Tony , to be honest i have not been out there for a few weeks ,the new section for the more specialist and rarer fish will be ready in the summer , as i have been told , so the best thing is to give them a call but i don't think at present there will be too much out of the ordinary .
cheers ............Ant |

ant, did you know the aquarium at bardney had moved aswel? hes now on deacon road by charles warner vhauxhal on outer circle road, he had some interesting stuff in last time i was there |
| 21-05-2007 20:56 by Ant Marshall |
Cheers Nige , I've been through bardney and just thought it had closed down , will certainly have a look in the near future , it may just be me but it seems outlets are just stocking run of the mill comunity fish and not giving the scope to expand the hobby , I must mention Frisby Aquatics in Hull , although not owned by Arthur now , it still carries on the legacy of quality and diversity of fish at very reasonable prices .
regards all.....Ant |
