Starting out in North London

[Michael Lees]

I have been a fish keeper for several years and until recently had a tank with Malawi Cichlids. I stopped keeping them partly because of a period of illness but also because I came to realise that this kind of active fish could not be kept properly in a medium sized tank (180 Lt). I would like to resume my hobby but this time concentrating on aquatic plants. I would welcome advice on good shops to visit in my area, North London. Initially I would like to visit to view and get ideas as much as anything.
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Are you far from Crews Hill? In Crews Hill there's a Maidenhead Aquatics in the Wyevale Garden Centre, Home Marine near Springtime Nurseries and Wildwoods. Unfortunately Enfield Aquatics has recently closed
