another one i have been visiting for many years this
is another tropical fish shop set in a garden center
that also as a restaurant i find this place OK the staff
are very pleasant and knowledgeable there a good stock of
dry goods there is a average selection of fish of the community
type fish but they do have a good selection of rift Vally and Malawi
cichlids and the restaurant as good value for money meals which
is always packed

yeah I can recommend Horns as I have dealt with them for years. I use to work there a good few years back mainly sorting the fish side out. and we used to supply them cichlids before and when we had our shop. I still supply them with a few cichlids from time to time. They also stock a few discus and oddballs and have a lot of coldwater fish and ponds outside with koi.

I like Horn's it was my local when I lived in South Hetton.

Always loads of unusual stuff as well as the regular tropicals. When I needed to re-home my Synodontis and an Angel they went there.

i popped in today, seen no dead fish but i thought it was expensive. £1.40 for a platy and the plants were £1.99... there was some young BN Plecs in there for £5.99 Evil or Very Mad

on the plus side i seen some sterbai tetra they look really nice.

Well popped there to day and the woman looking after the fish(not the normal big lass)was a shambles,these 2 gay lads were in asking for this and that,they were getting a few fish then she goes what size tank you got,fair do's I thought.one said what it was about 48 ltr I think it was,any ways then he said well we've not set it up yet we ll do it tonight,seen the lass think but then carried on without asking about safe water or anything just sold a load of fish and a crab to them.anyways I carried on looking thought I'd get some plec food,then I seen this plec but didn't know what sort it was with being a newbie,don't No she said,well how much is it I asked,errm not sure might be £20 not sure best come back on Thursday she said when the other girl is in.wouldnt care but it was a really nice looking plec,about 1-2 inc black with white spots
