Tropical Supplies began its journey back in 2015, in a tiny little shop with big ambitions. We didn't have hundreds of aquariums, enormous livestock selections or dedicated departments back then. Just a genuine passion for fishkeeping, reptiles and doing things properly.
Over the years, we've worked hard to grow Tropical Supplies into the store you see today. We've expanded our facilities, increased our livestock selection and created a place where hobbyists can come to explore, discover and enjoy their passion.
Today, we're proud to have over 250 aquariums, 400+ species and around 12,000 fish in stock, alongside our dedicated marine and reptile department.
Growing Through Changing Times.
It certainly hasn't always been straightforward. Like so many independent retailers, we've had to navigate rising costs, changing shopping habits and an increasingly challenging economy.
But through it all, we've continued investing in Tropical Supplies, maintaining our larger store and doing our best to offer the variety, quality and experience that make visiting a specialist shop worthwhile.
Why Supporting Independent Shops Matters.
Independent aquatic and reptile shops play an important part in our hobbies. They're places where knowledge is shared, unusual species are discovered and customers can see livestock in person before taking it home.
Every visit, purchase, recommendation and bit of support helps specialist retailers like ours continue to exist, improve and invest in the future of the hobby.
We're not asking anyone to shop with us out of sympathy. We want you to shop with us because you love what we've built, enjoy what we offer and believe specialist independent shops are worth keeping around.
Whether you've supported us since that tiny first shop in 2015 or you've only just discovered us, thank you for being part of the Tropical Supplies journey.
Independent. Experienced. Passionate about what we do.
