had the pleasure of visiting wharf today on my way back up the m1, 5 minutes off junction whatever (28 i think) to break up my journey was very welcome and my daughter ( as well as me ) loved it.

staff were very helpful and friendly as allways and they have some of the cheapest rays ive seen. ... captive bred motoros .. eating pellets and everything else too for £85 ! and with loads of spots . a bargain in anyones book im sure as i know a guy recently selling wild caught not feeding rays for more just recently.

a few pics i took whilst i was there show a lovley flower and a fantastic pair of henlei . its not often you get to see these rays in the flesh and its worth a visit just to see them ( or it is for me at least )

pics taken quickly on my phone with no flash (and some by my daughter )but the fish look much better in rl and the pic of the henlei doesnt give it credit at all .

** unable to upload photos : photobucket link here instead :

Can't see your pictures on photobucket.
 
Yes, great shop...it's no wonder that it always wins or comes runner up in the pfk shop of the year.

The bloke in charge of the rays knows quite a bit too lol:D
 
the link shows the same pics as the ones i was able to upload after editing . if it doesnt work i give up :D

the motoro pups have seriously long tails .

Agreed and the fact they sell reptiles is a bonus for me

i love the vast reptile section, they have just about everything i could want to see including an crocodile lol. but the ray section is the largest i know of thats on display so its great just to look at but i cant help but want to buy at least one of them but even browsing your made to feel welcome ( unlike some other more local shops ive visited ) i wasnt aware they had won awards but it doesnt suprise me :)
 
You are right about being made to feel welcome, I once spent an afternoon up there and Snowy showed me how he was building tanks and we had a coffee together and I saw behind the scenes and at the time they were building a new Marine section and he took me in to see the work being done too.

I think they built all the tanks on site too.

There are always lots of oddballs there and even the cold water section has a nice indoor pond.

Reptiles looked good too and the croc was a wee baby when I first saw him, now an impressive beast.

I think the difference is that they are all enthusiasts and have deep knowledge in their sections.

Am I a fan boy? YES, but Richard bred my Marble Motoro and I have been a stong advocate of his quality fishkeeping all along.
