Ripples Waterlife at Bridgemere Garden World, Nr Nantwich,
Cheshire
This is our Flagship
Store, situated in one of
the best garden centres in Europe – certainly one of
the largest! If you are interested in gardening, this is
the place to visit. The business is still owned and run by
a family that are principally gardeners and
horticulturalists, and it shows. When other garden centres
are reducing the area given over to displaying plants, in
favour of products which don’t need looking after,
Bridgemere has acres of plants and shrubs as well as huge
indoor areas and it continues to expand. There is also a
fantastic restaurant. When you bring the family to look at
the fish, there will be no problem keeping them occupied!

Centre
You
will find Tropical, Marine, Coldwater Pond fish and Koi as
well as as well as everything needed to look after
them.
An ideal starting point for indoor fish keeping is with
fancy goldfish.
There are perhaps a hundred varieties of goldfish that have
been bred and we keep a big range of them in a dedicated
system at Bridgemere, along with absolutely everything you
will need to get going, including low cost starter
aquariums and all the advice you need to take the kids
home, fully clued-up on how to care for their new pet
fish.
The Tropical
Fish House
The Tropical
fish house is our biggest yet, with almost three hundred
tanks of warm-water fish. We import tropical freshwater
fish from every continent in the world except Antarctica!
This ensures that we have something for everybody. There is
a huge range of community fish alongside rare and
specialist species, ranging in price from a neon tetra
costing about £1, up to £995 for rare Red & Gold,
micro-chipped, CITES listed Arowanas. We also have a
dedicated South American fish system, which always houses a
range of rare Catfish and Plecostomus alongside many
varieties of stunning Discus and other species. Most
importantly, we have specialists on hand who are only too
happy to help and guide you if asked. In addition to the
fish we have an enormous range of Aquariums, Plants,
Chemicals, Fish Foods, Decorations, Pumps, and Filters. In
fact everything you might need to keep tropical fish
including good advice.
Marine
Fish
The
Tropical fish House also has our Marine Display. We have
individual systems for fish, hard and soft corals as well
as shrimps and living rock. The marine stock changes
regularly. Personally I find it astonishing that Nature
designs such a variety of extraordinary, vividly coloured
fish. We also stock everything you might need to keep these
fish, ranging from a bag of salt to complete marine
aquarium systems.
Cold
Water Pond Fish
Our Coldwater Pond
Fish are kept in four large systems which enable us to keep
a comprehensive range of pond fish, some produced and
over-wintered at our own farm in Shropshire. You will find
a big selection of Goldfish, Shubunkins, Sarasas, Orfe,
Sterlets, small Sturgeon and Ghosts as well as other less
common species. We are proud of our Koi collection and
stock fish from a few inches up to two feet. Each Spring
and again in mid-Summer we travel to the Far East to buy
the very best Koi available, and because we purchase in
such quantity, they are not the silly prices you see them
elsewhere. Naturally, we also stock more Pumps, Filters,
Ponds, Liners, UV’s, Fish Foods, Chemicals,
Treatments and Plants than you could ever need !
Water
Features
We
also stock a huge range of Water Features. Whether it be a
simple pebble pool, pond, cascade, waterfall, a self
contained feature for the conservatory or large stone
tiered fountain, come and see it, (probably working!) at
Bridgemere.
