We love an oddball species here at Barnstaple and these Purple Spotted Gudgeons certainly fit the criteria!

They can tolerate a wide range of temperatures making them generally pretty hardy. In a setup mimicking their natural environment, plenty of rock piles and intertwining wood, males will display beautiful colours while looking for a female

Pygmy Puffer, Dwarf Puffer, Pea Puffers…

Whichever name we give them there’s one thing we all agree on… They’re adorable! 🥺

Best kept in groups in a planted, species only setup. These puffers max out at 2cm fully grown but still need plenty of space for territories to form

Evening Fishkeepers!

Take a look at this lovely group of Pygmy Corys in stock at the moment. A great choice of catfish for small and large setups alike!

Although still a “Cory”, like many others, these guys have also had a genus change recently. Now classified as Gastrodermus. A completely different genus to Corydoras!

We also have a small group of Albino Pygmy Corys in store too 👀

We have a load of lovely aquarium plants ready for this weekend!

Don’t forget, your plants get hungry too! Live plants require light and nutrients to grow. Whilst your aquarium light will provide one element, plants will rapidly consume nutrients from the water.

These nutrients must be replaced to ensure your plants continue to grow and thrive, click the link below to browse our available nutrient-rich plant food and fertilisers
