Woken up this morning, wondering for a brief moment why my hair had blue streaks in it..!

Started painting the backs and sides of the new glasswork yesterday. We've had the electricians start as well, installing all the fittings for the systems and new shop lighting.

Had word that the exterior building cladding is going to be happening in the near future too. We're going to be unrecognisable by the time it's all finished!

All the stands are now in place and the second shelf is up 🙌 Starting to look proper now! I've ordered our brand new Betta/Shrimp racking today too. Something I'm definitely going to go big on.

Speaking of shrimp, we had another livestock delivery this week with lots of Neocaridina and Caridina shrimp, alongside Electric Blue Rams, Firemouth Cichlids, various Tetra and some really nice Red Tuxedo and Salt & Pepper Platies. Oh and Gold Laser Corydoras too!

Livefood arrived today so the fridge is packed ready to go. We also had a fresh plant delivery and various other dry goods to top up the shelves.

Despite working with half a shop, I'm so pleased with how busy we still are so thank you for supporting us through this. I can't wait to return the loyalty with our brand new shop!

Keep it fishy folks!

The first of the stands have gone in today! Alongside shelving that goes most of the way around the shop for displaying products, hardscape, jerrican storage etc.

Starting to see it come together. Looking forward to Thursday when all the woodwork will be in place. Electricians will be in next week to do the new shop lighting and fit sockets to run the systems from.

Tomorrow I'm off to get paint to paint the backs of all the new tanks! Phew. Not long now folks and we'll be filling it with tons of new fish!

Been slacking on the updates but with good reason! Yesterday we had the first delivery of system tanks - my back is absolutely feeling it today 😆 still waiting on a few more alongside the new plant vats and coral trays!

The flooring is being finished today - it's looking fantastic. We've gone for a grey wet room floor so we can easily mop up spillages. Matches the new beam colour as well! We've also had the stands delivered today too, ready to be assembled early next week. It's all coming together bit by bit!

We've had several deliveries over the last couple of weeks of livestock too. This week we had a couple of boxes of freshwater and a few marine fish. Last week saw corals and some other freshies and next week we have lots of shrimp arriving! Lots of new products too, live sand, new marine rock, Red Sea salt and Hermit shells etc. Really looking forward to packing the new store with tons of new bits.

I'll get some pictures of the floor and decorating up soon! For now, thanks for bearing with us during all the work and squeezing into our reduced sized shop 😂

Keep it fishy folks!

Plastering is all done and decorating has begun today! We've gone for a light grey for the overhead beams to match the new flooring which goes in next Monday.

The walls are going to be white (not that you'll see too much of those with all the livestock systems in place). The roof will also be coming off and a new one put on over the next couple months. Unfortunately the only bit we have had to do later than we intended, but we'll make it work.

Next week, alongside the floor, our system stands will be being built and at the end of the week, the new tanks will be arriving 🤩

Not looking like much right now but a huge amount of progress has been made, I promise!
Stripped right back and new insulation has been fitted. Next week the final layer of flooring comes up as well as new plasterboard to go on. From there the new floor will go down, alongside plastering and decorating. Then with any luck our brand new systems will arrive shortly after..!

The refit officially begins today! The walls are coming down, the floor is coming up and Abbie is over the moon! 🤩

16/09/2025

The big stuff has started moving up to the top shop today, and I've almost finished getting all the products into their new placements as well! It's going to be tight, but a temporary sacrifice whilst the first stage of the refit commences.

From Monday 22nd, access to the shop will be through the second pair of doors, a little further along from the main entrance. I will make sure there is signage though and if you can't find what you're looking for, please feel free to ask any staff member!

Tomorrow we move system tanks up to the top shop to replace some tired old ones, so we can ensure there's as much livestock available as possible whilst the new fish house is underway!

What would you like to see in our brand new store?

With our new system tanks now on order, I'm turning my attention to a few of the finer details. What fish are we going to specialise in? What new products are we going to have on the shelves?

Your input matters the most, so I want to hear from you! Comment below with any suggestions of what you'd like us to stock ⬇️

Well... the time has come....

For a brand new store! I'm so incredibly excited to announce that our shop refit begins in 9 days!

A lot of you will have seen the shop being dismantled and repositioned in the last couple of weeks. We fully intend to keep trading throughout the construction, by condensing down one half of the shop into the other. Then once the new fish house is built, we'll swap over and do the other half.

So please bear with us through this transition. It's going to be a tight squeeze, and there will be slightly reduced ranges available at certain times, but it will all be worth it when we have a shiny new shop!

Some of you will have noticed new faces on the shop floor as well. Charlie and myself (Sophie) are from Fishkeeper Southwest and we are fully dedicated and committed to helping Abbie and the team bring you a top tier store!

I'll document the journey along the way, so you can keep upto date on what's happening. I'm so excited!!
