Not something we have in that often...Green spotted puffer, found in coastal freshwater these guys will need brackish water or marine conditions as adults. This adaptability makes them extremely easy to look after if you're not used to adding salt.
Great characters, these will make a fabulous species display.

Not so easy to get a good pic of these Corydoras schultzei today...

This fish led to some controversy with the origins of the "black" Cory. This is the original wild colour form from which the actual black Cory variant originated when a German aquarist isolated them over 30 years ago!

It’s a hot one today in Aberdeen, luckily our discus are enjoying the heat.

ALL AQUA NUTRITION POND FOOD buy one get one FREE!

Our comprehensive range of pond foods cover all varieties of pod fish and can be mixed and matched in our BUY ONE GET ONE FREE offer!

Aqua Nutrition Pond sticks are exclusive to Fishkeeper Scotland and are the staple in our range. The sticks are suitable for all coldwater fish including all goldfish varieties, orfe, rudd, mirror carp and grass carp. Pond sticks should be fed throughout the summer season when the water is warm, up to 3 days daily, depending on the filtration of the pond. Always keep an eye on water quality when increasing the quantity of feeding as uneaten fish food is a big contributor to high nitrite levels in ponds.
Composition:
White Rice, Soya, Maize, Prairie Meal, Wheatgerm, Fish Meal, Salmon Oil, Spirulina, Vitamins and Minerals
Analytical Constituents:
Protein 23%, Fat 3%, Fibre 3%, Ash 5%

Aqua Nutrition Variety sticks are a mix of coloured floating sticks for all coldwater fish. Suitable for all coldwater fish, these sticks are each designed to bring out the best in your fish whether it be energy, growth or colour. Feeding your fish a varied diet with our variety stick is a great habit to get into, and is easier than ever now it’s all in one tub. Feed your fish up to 3 times daily throughout the season (April - September).
Composition:
Rice, Soya, Maize, Prairie Meal, Wheatgerm, Fish MEal, Salmon Oil, Spirulina, Colourants, Vitamins and Minerals
Analytical Constituents:
Protein 23%, Fat 3%, Fibre 3%, Ash 5%

Aqua Nutrition Flake Food is perfect for fish with smaller mouths! Used most commonly for goldfish, Aqua Nutrition flake food is easy to eat for all small fish under 4 inches including goldfish varieties, orfe, rudd and even small koi. Flake should be fed little and often to these fish who have very small stomachs. Please note that larger fish will benefit from being fed a pellet or flake to satisfy their appetite.
Along with small fish, flake food is also great to feed to fry if you are lucky enough to be rearing any. Avoid adding flake to the water next to the fast-moving water of a waterfall or fountain as this will make the food more difficult to eat for small fish.
Composition:
Wheat Feed Flour, Soya, Wheat, Fish Oil, Vitamins and Minerals
Analytical Constituents:
Protein 15%, Fat 3%, Fibre 3%, Ash 3.5%

Do not feed below 10°c, at low temperatures it is best to offer a Wheatgerm based food.
