Stop typing. Just talk to Aqua.

No forms, no typing, no waiting. Press the mic and just ask — which fish get along, what your tank can take, why the water has gone cloudy, or where your order is. Aqua reads our live stock and order systems rather than a script, so the answer comes back in seconds, at 2am on a Sunday if that is when you have time. Anything it can’t finish goes to a real person with a reference number.

Ask on WhatsAppSee what it can do
  1. Tap “Ask Aqua” The microphone button, bottom-right of the screen.

  3. Ask it anything Your order, tank mates, water problems, stock.

Keep browsing while you talk — Aqua stays with you and can open any page you ask for. It always says it’s an AI, never asks for card details or passwords, and to find an order it asks only for the order number plus the email or postcode on it. Trained by Hand On Web.

The Tropical Fish Co Difference

Why Fishkeepers Trust Us

Buying live fish online is a leap of faith. Here's how we make it risk-free.

100% Live Arrival Guarantee

If a fish arrives dead or unwell, email us a short unboxing video on the day it arrives and we'll replace it with your next order or refund it. The full guarantee is readable before you pay, not after.

Specialist Fish Packaging

Insulated boxes, heat/cold packs, double-bagged with pure oxygen. Your fish travel in first class.

Complete Care Data

Every product page shows temperature, pH, tank size, diet, temperament, and compatibility — verified from scientific sources.

Ethically Sourced

We work directly with trusted breeders who prioritise fish health. No wild-caught species without clear sustainability credentials.

Photos

Our photos show the species and its usual colouring — not the individual fish we net for you. Fish are living animals: colour, pattern and fins differ between them and change with age, mood and lighting.

Water Quality Matched

We acclimatise fish to UK water parameters before shipping, reducing stress and improving survival rates.

    I received a very vibrant, healthy betta fish. He arrived in excellent condition, settled into his tank almost immediately, and is already super active. Highly recommend them to any fish keeper.

Aquarium & Tropical Fish FAQs

We stock one of the UK's widest ranges of live aquarium fish — tetras, guppies, mollies, platies and other livebearers, African and South American cichlids, angelfish, discus, corydoras and plecos, bettas and gouramis, rasboras, barbs, rainbowfish, killifish, plus shrimp, snails and marine fish. New imports land most weeks, so the stock you see is what's genuinely available now.
Yes — we ship live aquarium fish nationwide. Every order travels in oxygen-charged bags inside an insulated box with a heat pack in winter, handed to a licensed live-animal courier and dispatched Wednesday for Thursday delivery — or Thursday for Friday when a week overflows — so your fish never sit over a weekend. Every delivery is covered by our live arrival guarantee. To claim, email us an unboxing video on the day your order arrives.
Platies, guppies, mollies, zebra danios, harlequin rasboras, corydoras catfish and honey gouramis are the hardiest first fish — peaceful, colourful and happy in ordinary UK tap water. Start with a fully cycled, heated tank and add a few fish at a time. Our free care guides walk you through cycling and stocking step by step.
Community starter fish like platies, guppies and tetras begin at about £2 each, mid-range species sit around £10-£20, and rare collector fish run higher. The tank, heater and filter usually cost more than the fish themselves. Prices on every product page are live — what you see is what's in stock today.
Yes — thousands of UK aquarists buy fish online routinely. Proper oxygen-charged packing, midweek dispatch, a licensed live-animal courier and our live arrival guarantee make it as safe as a shop trip, and often less stressful for the fish than a long car journey home. Just float and acclimatise them gently on arrival.
Yes. Alongside livestock we stock live aquarium plants, fish food (flake, pellet, frozen and live), filters and pumps, aquarium lighting, water treatments and accessories — everything needed to set up and run a healthy tank. Browse the shop menu by category, or read our free care guides to plan the right kit for your fish.
