“Alicia BellGoogle Reviews“We heard about this shop on social media, and decided to go and have a look. So glad we did, lovely shop and very helpful staff. They have a wide variety of Fish, that are really healthy and well looked after. The variety of aquariums and decorations was fantastic. So glad we know about this place, by far the best Aquatics Shops I've been too.”

“Susan ThorpeGoogle Reviews“Bought some item from viscum when I arrived I was given a delicious coffee from a lovely helpful guy called Lee. He was very knowledgeable about everything I needed to know about the fish I planned to get and the plants they would need. Many thanks will see you soon I would recommend this place to anyone 😀”
“Sarah HayesGoogle Reviews“I’ve bought a few pearlscales from here recently and a little goldfish, the staff were so lovely and friendly and I love my fish so much. Couldn’t recommend this place more, it’s so much better than pets at home or any other pet shop. My grandad would only ever get his fish from here he said it’s the best in Doncaster 🙂”
“Sarah LewisGoogle Reviews“Welcomed with a good cup of coffee free of charge. Really good place. There is plenty of stock for aquariums to ponds. Good advice given. Will return when buying my new tank as the prices are good and they will price match internet prices. They will even give you the best advice on beta fish and which fish to keep with them. Very impressed. Nothing is too much trouble.”
