Fish Care Advice Centre

Keeping fish is a rewarding hobby which is not only fun but will also add a beauiful dimension to your home and you, and your family, will come to find yourself just watching them!

Like all pets, keeping fish does require time, dedication and care to ensure their ongoing health and wellbeing, so whether you're thinking of getting a goldfish, or upgrading to a marine tank, it is important for you to do your research and understand the time and cost commitments involved in keeping fish.

Petmania carry a full range of coldwater and tropical fish tanks, equipment and livestock, while selected stores also carry a wide range of marine fish and equipment.

Our livestock arrive every two weeks and specialist fish keepers looking for particular species should speak with our in-store fish experts or local store manager about special orders.

What Kind of Fish?

There are three types of habitats in which fish live - Coldwater and Tropical [both freshwater] or Marine [salt water].

Here at Petmania.ie we are delighted to provide you with an introduction to fish keeping and the care  requirements, specialist equipment and skill level required to ensure the ongoing health and wellbeing of the fish, in each category.

In-store, our fish experts are OATA qualified and are available to assist you with any queries you may have.

Petmania Livestock Wellbeing Statement

The wellbeing of our livestock is a top priority, and our tanks are maintained to the highest standards, so we are confident in the health of our fish. To help ensure their ongoing health, we are happy to test the water in your tank prior to stocking with new fish, as their new environment could be very different to what it is now. For this reason, we offer a 24-hr guarantee for your fish, and we are always prepared to help you resolve any difficulties you may be experiencing with the maintenance of your tank.
