Did you know? Here at The Pet Tank we like to support local animal causes wherever possible, and we have a collection point for two very worthy animal rescues: LIB Dog Rescue, Lowestoft, and Hedgehog Haven, Oulton Broad. These two rescues spend nearly 100% of their time looking after the animals in their care, and desperately need help with providing food and other items (newspaper, kitchen roll, towels etc.) Could you spare anything to help them? Donations can be brought into store during opening hours (Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm), or we can take donations by card over the phone on 01502 572960, or you can order goods via our website www.thepettank.co.uk (just type in "LIB" for LIB Dog Rescue, or "HHOB" for Hedgehog Haven to find their wish list) and type in the name of the rescue when checking out, and select the "Click & Collect in store option). For every phone donation that we receive, we will add 10% to the value donated. We look forward to seeing you in store soon.

If you’re looking for something unique and have a larger tank, consider the Black ghost knife fish. Ghostfish are unique in that they lack scales and fins and use electrolocation to navigate their surroundings. Due to their larger size a tank of 450 litres minimum is required with plenty of hiding areas available. Ghostfish are sensitive to water quality making regular water changes essential. If copper-based treatment is required in the tank it is important to remove these fish beforehand as copper is highly toxic to them. Size: Up to 20 inches. Temperature: Between 25-26 Celsius. Temperament: Semi-aggressive, best kept with larger peaceful fish. Diet: Frozen and/or live food such as bloodworm. In store now.

This is Pascha. Pascha is looking for her forever home. She is very sweet and friendly. However her curiosity means that she will need a completely secure garden, as demonstrated in the video below. Apparently no hole is too small where Pascha is concerned! If you think that you could provide Pascha with her furever home, please email: [email protected] For further information about LIB dog rescue, please visit www.libdogrescue.co.uk or visit their page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/166814107364015

Who we are

The Pet Tank is a 5 star rated, independent, family-run pet shop committed to promoting and maintaining the highest standards of pet care, nutrition, and health while providing good, old-fashioned customer service.

Andy Needham (Proprietor) established The Pet Tank in the Summer of 2013 following the acquisition of The Fodder Shop/Lowestoft Pet and Reptile Centre. Andy has a strong background in the aquatics and pet trade industry and has always had a keen interest in fishkeeping which he is happy to share with others.

We sell a wide variety of pet foods and accessories, fish, small animals, and reptiles and in the warmer months, we have a well stocked pond department. If we don’t have what you require, then please don’t hesitate to ask if we can order it for you.

We are open five days a week from 9:00 to 5:30 (Tuesday to Saturday). With the launch of our website and online shop (www.thepettank.co.uk) we are now able to offer our customers a wider variety of products with new lines being added all the time. We also offer a free local delivery service (terms and conditions apply).
