Wondering which fishy favourites have been popular week? From colourful community fish to hardworking algae eaters, our latest best-sellers are in!

Every week brings new favourites, but this week, we have an undisputable winner. So, without further ado, let’s count down our Top 5 Best-Selling Fish of the Week and discover which fish have made the list!

 

5th Place - Harlequins

Starting off our countdown is a new entry… Harlequin Rasboras! With their striking orange and copper tones, distinctive black markings and peaceful nature, it’s easy to see why these little fish are such a hit.

Harlequins are fantastic shoaling fish that bring movement and colour to a community aquarium. Their active personalities and eye-catching appearance make them a brilliant choice for aquarists looking to add a lively splash of colour to their tank.

 

4th Place - Mollies

Taking fourth place this week are the wonderfully versatile Mollies!

Available in a variety of colours and patterns, Mollies are a popular choice for adding personality and vibrancy to an aquarium. From bold blacks to bright yellows and striking mixed patterns, there’s plenty of variety to choose from.

Their curious nature and active swimming make them a great addition to a suitable community tank, and with so many different varieties available, it’s easy to see why they continue to be a customer favourite.

 

3rd Place - Gold Sucking Loach

In third place, we have the Gold Sucking Loach!

Also known as the Chinese Algae Eater, thee fish are known for grazing on algae, making them an interesting addition to the aquarium. With their beautiful golden colouring and distinctive appearance, these fish certainly stand out from the crowd.

Gold Sucking Loaches can grow quite large, so it’s important to make sure you have a suitably sized aquarium to accommodate them as they mature. Providing the right space and environment will help keep them happy, healthy and thriving.

 

2nd Place - Platies

Leaping from 5th place last week to an impressive 2nd place this week, and  taking the silver medal are our colourful Platies!

Platies have long been a favourite among fish keepers, and it’s not hard to see why! With their vibrant colours, eye-catching patterns and lively personalities, they’re a wonderful way to add a splash of colour to a suitable freshwater community aquarium.

Peaceful, hardy and relatively easy to care for, Platies are a great choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. With so many colours and varieties to choose from, there’s a Platy to suit every tank!

 

1st Place - Cherry Shrimp

And now for our runaway best-seller of the week… Cherry Shrimp! 

Okay, technically, shrimp aren’t fish - but with the sheer number we’ve sold this week, we simply couldn’t leave them out!

Our Yellow and Red Cherry Shrimp, in particular, have absolutely dominated the charts, selling in huge numbers and leaving the competition behind. Their bright colours, fascinating behaviour and tiny bursts of activity make them a fantastic addition to suitable freshwater aquariums.

Whether you prefer the sunny glow of yellow shrimp or the classic, vibrant red, these little invertebrates have certainly captured our customers’ attention this week.

And they’re not the only shrimp in the shop! We have other varieties available too, so if you’re looking to add something a little different to your aquarium, there’s plenty to explore.

A huge congratulations to our tiny, colourful champions, this week’s undisputed best-sellers!
