Ripples Waterlife at Stafford Park 11,
Telford
Our Telford Store is
slightly unusual in that it is is our first store not based
in a Garden Centre. We need a lot of space to stock and
display everything you need so we decided to look for an
alternative. Situated in an old, light-industrial building,
we have 12,000 square feet of Fish Keepers Heaven!
This was the first site that we have built where we have
had the space to stock everything we need without
compromise. You will find Tropical, Marine, Coldwater, Pond
fish and Koi at this store.
We have
recently opened our new aquarium room with a big display of
tanks and furniture
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 Telford, along with absolutely everything you
will need to get going, including low cost starter
aquariums.
Tropical Fish
The Tropical Room houses two hundred tanks of Tropical
Freshwater and Marine fish. We import Tropical fish from
all over the world and keep hundreds of varieties and
species. New stock and varieties arrive weekly. As well as
the more common species which are ideal for community
tanks, we pride ourselves in stocking rare and unusual
species such as South American catfish, high grade Discus,
African Cichlids and our most expensive fish, Red and Gold,
micro chipped, CITES listed Arowanas. We also employ an
enthusiast who just loves to source rare and odd-ball
species. It goes without saying there is also a huge range
of aquariums, accessories and everything you could ever
need to look after these fish available in store.
Marine Fish
The Tropical Room also houses our Marine Fish with 33 tanks
of fish, and separate systems for soft and hard corals.
This stock changes frequently and we work hard to find new
and interesting varieties of fish and invertebrates to keep
the store a focus for marine specialists. These fish are
probably the most demanding for the aquarist to keep
successfully and to help you, we stock everything you will
need from a bag of sea salt and water produced by reverse
osmosis, to complete Aquarium Systems. Naturally we also
offer expert advice.
Incidentally,
Aqua Medic, one of the biggest suppliers of specialist kit
for Marine Fish Keepers in the UK, have opened their
national office just three doors away.
Coldwater
Fish
We are proud of our Coldwater fish. Coldwater Pond Fish are
kept in five large systems which enable us to keep a
comprehensive range of 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 them 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.
