Maidenhead Aquatics at Wilton - Salisbury

Maidenhead Aquatics at Wilton - Salisbury We are a freshwater specialist aquatic store on the outskirts of Salisbury with an extensive outdoor section for pond plants and fish.

Our store is located in a beautiful Blue Diamond Garden Centre in the historical town of Wilton. We are an established team of two with twenty plus years of experience between us. The welfare of our fish is our upmost priority and we pride ourselves on our fishkeeping knowledge and honest advice. We specialise in freshwater fishes with over 160 tanks brimming with aquatic life from lakes and river

s all over the world. We also boast an extensive aquatic plant and aquascaping section with a huge variety of wood and rocks. Outdoors we are blessed with a large area for pond plants during the Spring and Summer months and these are bordered by our range of Goldfish, Native Fishes and Koi.

Starting to get some nice colours on our Nego Dagua Tetra, from Brazil. This newly imported species is a more subtle tetra in terms of colouration and would look great in any South American biotope.

The Sunset Barb 'Pethia setnai' is a rarely seen, small species of Asian Barb. This species only attains 6cm, meaning it's ideal for community aquariums. Avoid long finned fish, such as Guppies, as they may be nipped. Best kept in groups of 5+

As promised - our rare anabantid species is...

Luciocephalus aura - Peppermint Pikehead.

These awesome, predatory fish come from Indonesian swamps and are best kept in a species only aquarium due to their shy, retiring nature and need for live foods. These fish will not take dry foods.

A softer water aquarium is best and botanicals would be a welcome addition. They will eat fish up to about half their own body size, so they are not suitable for community aquariums.

A real rarity and a store first.

Our Shrimp tank is currently packed with all manner of Cherry Shrimp colours and some very chunky Amano Shrimp.

Shrimp make great clean-up crew for peaceful community aquariums and can be kept densely as they add minimal bioload to the tank.

Pond plants have once again been replenished and we have some great sized plants in stock. As we are now entering July, this could well be the last delivery of the season.

We had a bumper delivery last night, including the following:

Pygmy Puffers (chunky size)
Amano Shrimp (larger size)
Blue Dwarf Gourami
Kuhli Loach
Snakeskin Gourami
Red Rainbowfish
Albino Cherry Barbs

These fish, and all of the others we received, will be assessed at the weekend and put on sale if they are ready. Videos will follow in the coming days (including one of the rare anabantid - which will not disappoint).

Our fish have been fed stick on tablets this morning. They are very enthusiastic about these and provide great viewing opportunities.

23/06/2025

We have a rather special fish species arriving tomorrow.

Here's a clue, it's a rarely seen, predatory, Indonesian Anabantid.

Video to follow later in the week....

Here we have a Slate Plec 'Pseudancistrus genisetiger' feeding on courgette, alongside a very gutsy Parotocinclus.

These will be on sale soon.

While we love the weird and wonderful species at Wilton, it's important not to forget the 'bread and butter' staple fish that grace most home aquariums.

An example is the humble Guppy, and we currently have these rather nice black dumbo ear males available.

Our Brazil shipment has arrived today. All fish will be in quarantine until at least next week, however I thought I'd share the 6 new species we've had in:

Hyphessobrycon negodagua, a new characin species from Brazil.

Wild Green Severums.

Spatuloricaria tuira, a smaller Whiptail Catfish.

Tatia simplex, a small and rare woodcat.

L262 Fine Spotted plec 'Hypancistrus sp.'

Slate plec 'Pseudancistrus genisetiger'
