About

Meeting all your needs for Cold water and Tropical fish.

Story

Opened during February 2010, Maidenhead Aquatics @ Peterborough is located inside Peterborough Garden Park, a modern retail complex that is also home to an extensive Van Hage garden centre and numerous other outlets.

This branch of Maidenhead Aquatics is uniquely designed with a contemporary layout, providing everything for the fishkeeper in a light and airy atmosphere. Store specialities include nano fish, shrimps, tetras, Malawi cichlids, and aquatic plants. A wide range of aquariums are always available with a comprehensive selection of dry goods to compliment them. The outside area provides a range of ponds, waterfalls, and, when in season: pond plants and pond fish. A large selection of filters, pumps, and other pond equipment may be found inside the store.

The centrepiece of the shop is the huge 5300 litre (1166 gal) planted display tank. Measuring 3m x 2m x 0.8m (10' x 7' x 33"), it is the largest planted aquascape in the UK. This mammoth tank was featured in the Feb 2012 issue of Practical Fishkeeping magazine, with a photographic step-by-step diary depicting the aquascape as carried out by the UK Aquatic Plant Society (UKAPS).
