Well our new aquarium plants have been leaving fast lately! We’ve still a great selection with some totally new species of plants in store, even though one of our plant tanks is already half empty!

We’re also very excited (or at least I am!) that we’ll soon have access to even more plant species and varieties, including in January the eagerly awaited white ludwigia and blood red rotala! 🤩

Did you know our pond plants are now Buy One Get One Free (cheapest item free and whilst stocks last)?! 😜

From submerged plants including water lilies and water lotus, to all manner of flowering and non-flowering marginals, we have something for every pond, wildlife pond or water feature owner!

Act fast though, as our stocks are running low and there’ll be no new delivery until spring 2025!

Our barley straw packs are in store for your ponds, perfect for natural reduction/prevention of algaes in your ponds, and will break down slowly over winter ready for when the sunshine returns!

Mini bale packs are £8.99 each or an amazing 3 for £20!
Twin packs are £7.99 or 2 for £15 and are ideal for smaller volumes of water!

It’s not too late to plan ahead for when the winter makes our ponds and gardens more bare and less colourful; complement your fish or wildlife ponds with our artificial floating plants…water lillies at £3.99 each or 3 for £10, water hyacinths at £9.99!

They can even be used in water features and aquariums too!

31/08/2024

There’s a busy week, and a whole busy month ahead throughout September at Maidenhead Aquatics Pyle, with a redesign of our store layout underway, upcoming exciting deliveries of fish and aquatic critters, live plants, a larger selection than ever before of live, frozen and dry foods, and more styles of aquariums to suit anybody’s need or desire than we could shake a stick at!
We’re very excited to be launching our new aquarium display area later this month, with styles and sizes you’ve never seen in our store before, guaranteed!
We’ll look forward to having you join us for a visit (or several visits!) 😉

We now have small, young axolotl in store, which will be available from the weekend, but please do your research as they’re not the easy pets many seem to think (they also grow much larger than many seem to think!)

Please also remember that axolotl are NOT suitable to share an aquarium with ANY other species (whether that’s fish or crustaceans!)

A wide range of colour forms are available, albino, wild type, lavender, leucistic (often called ‘Lucys’)…we’ve been asked a lot about when we’d have more of them in store, so if you’ve asked recently, now is the time to do more research!

Whether goldfish or koi carp, we’ve lots to choose from in our outdoor pond fish area!

With more of the above due too, so there’s plenty of choice to choose from!

We also have both gold and green tench available (these are in limited number and will be the last of what we’ll have in store for the remainder of 2024!)

Our outdoor and pond plants are selling fast!
We’ve not had so few plants available at any time for months, so whether you’re seeking plants, and the accessories to accompany them such as pond plant baskets, aquatic soils, aquatic plant fertilisers, gravel to prevent fish digging around in the submerged planters etc, we have it all in store ready to take away and create a haven in your garden!

Have you encountered our ‘oddballs’ yet?
A number of customers had a great time today watching our Red Line Cross River Puffer hand feeding (well, from tongs!) so much they came back hours later to see them again!
With a limited number of these species in stock, we have puffers, bichirs, snakeheads, ripsaw catfishes, arowana, freshwater moray eels (and other eels!) and more in store!
If you have the aquarium to house such species to suit their needs, we have the fish for you! With more such special species to come too! (The photos are only a selection of the species in store right now for those with such species interests!)…and don’t forget, if you don’t have the aquarium to suit the fish you’d love to own, we can always help you choose out a suitable new aquarium too, if it’s not in stock we can always order them in for you!
Ask in store for more info!

You gave us your feedback and opinions, and we’ve listened!
A recurring theme of people who’ve returned to us for the first time in a very long time is they found our livestock wasn’t particularly varied from one visit to the next…well just you wait until we unveil our latest additions who are available to take home from August the 1st! Including one individual VERY rare species in the hobby, which is highly sought after yet very difficult to find in the UK!
Spoiler: if you love pufferfish, you’ll love this guy! 😝

With a number of ‘oddball’ species now in stock, in very limited numbers, who’ve certainly caught people’s attention so far as they’ve never been expected in Pyle, let’s see how much love they get and if they make their way into your heart and home! ❤️

The 1st of August already, where has the time gone?!
Although with the sun finally shining on us all, that means one thing, it’s that time to get outdoors and introduce some water into your alfresco living!

Whether it’s a standalone water feature, a small nature pond to encourage the local wildlife, a pond for goldfish or to expand your plant passions, or the joys of a koi pond, we have something for everyone!

So don’t miss out this summer, now is the perfect time to introduce the sight and sound of water to your gardens or other outdoor spaces!

Some of the amazing species and varieties we have in store right now! There’s plenty more than shown here too, so don’t forget to call in and see us over the weekend, we may well have a new additional you’d live to join your aquarium!
Stocked with aquarium plants, pond plants and pond fish too, there really is something for every kind of aquarist!

20/07/2024

We have a selection of rather special species in store for those with very specific interests, many which haven’t been in store before, so come and take a look, and don’t forget that if you have a specific interest in species we don’t often/usually have in store until now, you just need to ask and we’ll see if we can get them in for you!
(Subject to availability which is a factor outside of our control as species availability changes week to week from our across the globe suppliers!)

Don’t forget that although today’s weather isn’t quite so great, it’s still a great day to be adding to your pond!
Our selection of koi and pond goldfish are proving very popular this weekend!

Some of our new koi are simply outstanding!
We’re excited to have these now in stock!
If you’re looking for some 20cm koi for growing on in your pond, we certainly have some beautiful ones to grace your homes and gardens!

Our newly delivered aquarium plants are here ready for the weekend, in all shapes, sizes and colours!

Some absolutely beautiful Echinodorus varieties, a number of carpet plants (no matter the size of your aquarium!), and a range of many anubias (including mini varieties such as ‘Anubias Coin’ and ‘Anubias Nana Bonsai’) and an even greater selection of five Bucephalandra varieties (perfect for nano aquariums or our aquascaping enthusiasts!), let’s see how long these stick around this time, as many of these plants tend to sell out fast!

We have only two of our tiger lotus remaining too, who’ve been very popular! Make sure to check out how many of the anubias and bucephalandra are actually flowering too! 🤩

Please be aware that to avoid such scenes at our counter, especially during busy periods with many customers or very few staff, with customers waiting and access to our till restricted etc, since July 1st we’ve introduced the ‘drop off’ water testing service…bring us a sample of your water in a clean container, leave your name and number with the team member, and for £1.50 we’ll test your water, call you back within 24 hours and let you know the results and how to rectify any water quality issues (or you can pop back the following day, allowing 24 hours to do so) and we’ll then have the results and recommendations ready for you!
If you’d prefer to test your water at home, we also have both liquid test kits (which we use in store) or paper test strips available in store, alongside our other aquatic consumable products to make sure your aquarium or pond is in tip top shape!

04/07/2024

Our live food fridge is topped up again, so make sure to get it quickly! A varied dieg is always best for all species of fish and other aquatic/semi aquatic critters, and we have bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia, river shrimp and Californian black worms in stock, many in very limited numbers (first sales happened straight from the box when it arrived this afternoon!)
We had ordered tubifex worms too but sadly they were unavailable when it came time for the delivery!

We’ll be looking more closely at which live foods leave us quickly versus those who don’t so that we can limit our losses (as no one wants unalive live food, neither would we!), so please let us know if you prefer to have specific live foods/have special requests (including those favoured by marine keepers, as we can access such smaller live foods too), or would be interested in placing orders in advance for those with very specific needs; we’d be happy to do all we can to help!

Some of our super tiny fancy goldfish are in store waiting to meet you…ok who am I kidding, we have a few jumbo sized too! 😋
A great indicator to those who think fancy goldfish are suitable for small aquarium spaces what they should be if given good care, which includes appropriate space!
We’ve only two of our jumbo ranchu in store, so if you’d like to know more, make sure to come and see us! 🤩

02/07/2024

The colour on the golden wonder panchax (Aplocheilus Lineatus) really is now transforming into its wondererous gold! With the green, gold, yellow and red colours all really beginning to show through on many of the individuals, the fish in store really are beginning to shine and practically glow!

02/07/2024

We’ve expanded our selection of Hyphessobrycon Pulchripinnis, the lemon tetra! Along with our regular yellow lemons, and the ‘Bolivian orange’ lemon tetra, we now also have some stunning young albinos too! You really need to google to see what they look like as adults, you won’t be disappointed! I’m hoping they all leave because the temptation for one new in store display aquarium with the three colour forms in is just way too much of a temptation! 😆

02/07/2024

It isn’t easy to get the light right to capture the fact these are green neon tetra! We’ve been asked about them for a few weeks and it’s been the first time we’ve been able to get them in stock for a while, and they’ve settled really well already!
Let’s see how long they stay in store before leaving for their new aquariums! We also have our regular neons, diamond neons, black neons plus cardinal tetras all in store! It really is a bright and colourful section in store with them all!

02/07/2024

How about this little gathering of our newly arrived platinum dragonscale dumbo eared female betta?! (That’s not easy to say out loud hahaha!)
After their journey to get to us it’s no surprise they want to just nestle down for a nap! They’re looking awesome though it has to be said! 🤩

02/07/2024

Our dwarf chain loaches (Ambastaia Sidthimunki) keep getting better and better in appearance! A perfect shoaling species, growing to only 6cm in adult length, they’re the perfect pest snail battling comrade for many aquariums which the more commonly known clown and yo-yo loaches (who both grow considerably larger!) are unsuitable for!
(Although we also have the larger species of loaches and Botia also in store!)

02/07/2024

Our Striped Barbs (Puntius Johorensis) are already over 2 inches (6cm) in length and are a great species for those seeking a larger sized shoaling species, with beautiful colouring and patternation, they’re certainly an eye catcher!
