Welcome to the home page of Wayside Aquatics.
We are a small shop located in Hook End, near Brentwood, Essex. We stock all aquarium essentials and a wide selection of top-quality tank-bred tropical fishes. We also have our own nursery where we grow an extensive range of pond plants and unusual waterlilies.
Our complete range of pond plants is available mail order through this site. A selection of pond plants is also on sale at the shop as established potted specimens (please note, prices for these may vary from the prices quoted here for bare-root specimens).
Most of our aquarium equipment and supplies are also available to buy mail order through this site. (However, please note we cannot post aquariums or live fishes).
While you're here please take a look around!
From 1st February onwards the shop will be undergoing a major refurbishment. This may cause disruption, and at times there may be lower than normal levels of fish and live plants in stock.Please note we will be open as normal throughout this time, apart from Wednesday 3rd March and Thursday 4th March when we will be closed for the final aquarium fitting.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. However, many of our tropical fish are currently half price or less, so why not come in and have a look!
