Services
Harrogate Aquatic (originally known as Tropica) was set up in 1989 and quickly established itself as a specialist aquatic centre. Since 2001 we have been selling planting equipment and aquarium plants on a nationwide basis. We are based within Moorland Nurseries garden centre between Harrogate and Knaresborough.
Air pumps are a great way to increase the dissolved oxygen in your aquarium water. They sit outside the tank (in the cabinet underneath or tucked behind it out of sight) and push air through a narrow hose into the water. They can connect to an air stone (a porous block that turns big bubbles into tiny fizzy bubbles) or into an ornament - you can get some really cool ones with parts that move as the bubbles flow through them.
We supply tanks and aquarium sets from a variety of manufacturers but our favourites are the ones you see here. We have used and sold these particular tanks for many years, are familiar with their performance and completely trust their reliability. CLEARSEAL is a glass tank manufacturer based in Birmingham.
What is a filter? A filter can be fitted into any aquarium and is essential for keeping the water healthy and keeping your fish alive! It has a built-in pump which circulates and oxygenates the water, collecting all the waste into sponges or 'media' in a compartment inside. You change or clean the media when you do your monthly water change and maintenance.
The secret to success with growing healthy plants in an aquarium is making sure the plants have everything they need. Just like plants in your garden, they need good lighting, regular fertiliser, carbon dioxide and something to grow their roots in. You don't need to splash out (!) on expensive tech - there are lots of ways to keep the costs down and still get great results.

I recently bought a great selection of strong and healthy pond plants at a reasonable price. The picture included is me disinfecting them with PP before I put them in my Koi pond. But it's there to show you how many colourful options they had available. Their knowledgeable staff will also give you recommendations and advice.

A great place! Lots of different fish, including a wide range of guppies and tetras. Lots of different items for pond fish, as well as tropical and cold water fish. The staff are very friendly and welcomed any questions, but would also leave us to browse. Also it has great prices which i haven't found anywhere else! I will definitely be visiting again! Thanks Harrogate Aquatics!

Good local fish shop. Good range of fish and products available and pricing isn't bad. Compared to pets at home the staff here are really helpful and want to help you.
They have a small range of outdoor fish including goldfish and koi in various sizes.
If there is anything they don't have which you need normally they'll do what they can to source it for you at a competitive price.
