Another great fish shop tour which is always appreciated !!! Having the amount of shops within driving distance is Incredible and I will always have the time to watch the future visits and hope you & your Family are doing great!!! Cheers Mick 🍻
I’ve visited a few of the shops you’ve done shop tours of. My furthest one to date was from Wiltshire to trop corp a week after you went there, and I bought 4 geo’s whilst there!
@@MicksFishUk there’s actually 3 aquatic shops you can do if you want in close proximity. Maidenheads at Summerhill Garden Centre Billericay then Creations Wickford then Swallow Aquatics in Rayleigh. It’s a worthwhile trip for 3 shops.
Another great video, do you know or come across a cheaper way off doing the plumbing to a sump bulkhead etc ?? At the moment to do 2 from tank to sump is working out £178 for the grey OD pipe
I popped into St Albans Maidenhead Aquatics on my way up north after visiting my sister a couple of years ago. It is a massive shop and is fantastic for dry goods and for checking out tanks etc but the fishroom was more like a fish graveyard! It was horrific how bad some the fish were, and the staff were not interested in their customers either. I was really disappointed, it is strange how people have a difference experience of the same place.
I visited it about 2 months ago when I was in the area and all the fish looked in good condition apart from the one fish which had jumped out of it's pond and was dead on the floor in the outside area. My local maidenhead aquatics however everytime I go in had dead fish in their tanks and it's not like they don't have the staff to inspect the tanks either.
Great vid as always, I'm looking forward to the Flowerhorn vid with new tank. I'm looking to get a flowerhorn with your travels any tips on the best place to get one? Thanks again keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching I have seen some real nice ones at the wharf aquatics before. Give them a call before you go up there great shop and really helpful 👍🏻
Absolutely an amazing Maidenhead store, the setup, display tanks the fish selection and how clean and healthy the tanks and fish are, I seen 1 fancy goldfish listing on its side, but didn’t see any dead fish at all. Not like the Maidenhead brand in Scotland 🏴 especially the stores near Edinburgh, there tiny in comparison to the English Maidenhead, most tanks are in very poor condition, some dead fish, poor quality in their plants section, just shit really, in complete contrast to the English shops/stores. A great tour though, appreciated for sure. 👍
How come down south they have great sear ups with loads to chose from. But here in the north east it’s all the cramped into the corner of a garden centre. It’s Like we don’t appreciate fish as much.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447well just a update they have done my local shop out to look pretty similar to this shop. So don’t be a southern bell thinking people in the north arnt as good. I don’t appreciate that.
@@clarkesminifishroom6010 Well everything’s good then? But I will stick to my point, that if you don’t have a decent aquarium shop in your neighbourhood, and you used to have one, it’s most likely because the shop couldn’t keep up an earning in the first place. If the money’s there the shop will rise to it.
Nice long in depth video. Good stuff. The only issue with that place is, the lack of knowledge, misidentified fish and the over pricing. Other than that, it’s good. Nile Perch would be absolutely fine with Arowana. They are not aggressive and the Arowana wouldn’t bother it. I’ve kept a couple with arowana.
could easly spend a full day in there... the 2 maidenhead shops in newcastle are realy disapointing there realy small compared to this 1 nowhere near as much equipment or live stock ☹️☹️
I love watching shop tours, down in Southampton we dont have many good ones let alone big ones like that one
@50.20, it's a barb not a tetra, it's probably a mascara barb by the looks of it

Appreciate that’s buddy thanks for watching 👊
You should do a tour of wildwoods (world of water) in crews hill. Only 20mins away from this Maidenhead and definitely worth a visit!
It’s coming soon ☺️👍🏻
@@MicksFishUk looking forward to it!

That shop has changed since I last went in! I helped set it up when I worked for maidenhead aquatics years ago
Thanks for doing this. I was gonna go on Saturday and it's an hour and a bit for me to get there
Loving the Goldfish there mate. They are becoming very popular again especially the Ranchu.

Huge collections and variety
Of fish
Very enjoyable
Thank you

That fish shop is larger than the whole Maidenhead in Huntingdon 😂

Awesome mate thanks for watching 👊
@@MicksFishUk 👊
Very nice video 2023 💯👍👌
I visited this store everything is so amazing and so clean i wish i can buy a fish tank and make a reef tank you’re doing amazing job bro keep it up
Have a look at Creation Aquatics in Wickford. You’ll have a great time in there. It’s very unusual to say the least but also interesting.
That’s great mate I’ll have a look 👍🏻

Maidenheads at Summerhill Garden Centre Billericay then Creations Wickford then Swallow Aquatics in Rayleigh. It’s a worthwhile trip for 3 shops.
My local fish shop staff are amazing
That Nile perch would be in my tank ASAP! 😆 It's total bs they are no longer allowed in the US! What an awesome creature!
I watch the whole video what Nile perch are you talkin about what timeline on the video did it show it I want to see what that thing looks like
@@badger3044 about 19 minutes mate
@@leepowell4710 thanks brother I'll take a look preciate it
@@leepowell4710 I just saw it, I don't know how I missed it the first time thanks again, thats probably when I set my phone down to wipe my ass LOL 💩
My local Maidenhead, great shop. Actually it’s a bit further from me than Maidenhead in crews hill but this one is much better
Nice one Mick
Another great video, do you know or come across a cheaper way off doing the plumbing to a sump bulkhead etc ?? At the moment to do 2 from tank to sump is working out £178 for the grey OD pipe
Nice video but i wanted to see more of the coral with some prices

Bought a fish from here about 8 years ago some old girl backed into my truck ffs

Probably you don’t. If there was enough buyers in the shops, the trade would improve as well.
More customers - greater selection.
