Our Best-Selling Fish of the Week! (October 2026 #2)

 

It’s time for another look at our Best-Selling Fish of the Week!  From colourful community favourites to hardworking bottom-dwellers, this week’s top five is packed with fantastic fish that have been making a splash in store.

We’ve got a returning favourite, two brand-new entries, and a familiar fish holding onto the number one spot. So, let’s dive in and see which fish have been swimming off our shelves this week!

 

5th Place  - Platy

Making a welcome return to our top five this week are the ever-popular Platies!

Since our latest delivery, these colourful little fish have been flying out of the store, and it’s easy to see why. With so much variety in colours and patterns, there’s something for everyone!

Whether you want to brighten up your aquarium with a burst of colour or add to your existing group, Platies are a great choice for community tanks, bringing plenty of life and vibrancy to your setup!.

A brand-new entry into this week’s top five is the Yoyo Loach!

Yoyo Loaches have been a real hit in store this week! With their unique markings and lively personalities, these fascinating fish are always on the move. They’re also known for their appetite for snails, making them a popular choice for aquarists looking for a natural way to help manage snail populations.

Full of character, Yoyo Loaches are great fun to watch as they explore their surroundings, rummage around for food and keep busy around the aquarium.

 

3rd Place - Swordtails

Another new entry this week is the colourful Swordtail!

We had a fantastic selection of Swordtails in store this week, with a variety of colours and patterns to choose from. They’ve been incredibly popular, and our stock has almost completely sold out!

With so many colours and varieties available, Swordtails are a great way to add something eye-catching to your aquarium.

2nd Place - Corydoras

Taking second place this week are two much loved bottom-dwelling fish: Albino and Peppered Corydoras!

Small but mighty, Corydoras are fantastic additions to peaceful community aquariums. These little fish are full of character and are always busy exploring the substrate in search of tasty treats.

Their constant foraging can make them particularly enjoyable to watch, darting around the bottom of the tank and investigating every nook and cranny.

 

1st Place - Molly

And holding firm at the top spot once again are our Mollies!

These popular, colourful livebearers have kept their place at number one, proving that they’re still a firm favourite with our customers.

With the variety available, Mollies are a brilliant way to add some life and movement to an aquarium. They’re active, eye-catching fish that can make a great addition to a community tank.

It looks like the Mollies aren’t ready to give up their crown just yet! Will they hold onto first place next week, or will a new contender make a splash?

That’s our top five best-selling fish of the week! From the ever-popular Molly to the returning Platy and our exciting new entries, it’s been another fantastic week for our livebearers.
