Established in 2012 as Ashby Pets and Aquatics on Ashby High Street, Ashby Aquatics has grown into a trusted name with fishkeepers. Since 2013, we have expanded our offerings to include live plants, aquascaping materials, and live fish foods, available for purchase online.

At Ashby Aquatics, we are passionate about live aquatic plants. We receive up to three plant deliveries per week and have successfully fulfilled over 184,000 online orders, earning a loyal customer base, particularly through our eBay store.

In collaboration with our regular customers and fellow enthusiasts, we founded the Select Aquarist Society, a community dedicated to breeding and showcasing rare and fascinating tropical fish. Our members have successfully bred and exhibited species ranging from the minuscule Danionella Translucida to the extraordinary freshwater Rainbow Pipefish (Microphis deocata).

We recognize the vital role live foods play in fish health and nutrition. As the most natural and beneficial diet, live fish food is ideal for regular feeding or as an occasional treat. If you're preparing fish for breeding, a bloodworm or tubifex diet can enhance conditioning, while baby brine shrimp provide essential nutrition for fry. For picky feeders such as Pipefish, Elephant Nose Fish, or Knifefish, live foods can stimulate their natural hunting instincts, promoting feeding and overall well-being.

Beyond the nutritional benefits, watching your fish actively chase daphnia in the tank is both fascinating and rewarding. At Ashby Aquatics, we are committed to providing high-quality live foods to support the health and vitality of your aquatic pets.
