Questions / Answers: 

Why don't all your branches stock the same fish, reptiles and other items? 

It requires highly trained specialist staff and the correct environment to keep reptiles and other species. For these reasons Swallow Aquatics restricts sales of these animals to those suited to the conditions and staff.

I bought a fish from you and it is now too big for my tank. Will you buy it back?

Although our branches contain large tanks which house 'unwanted' fish, we cannot guarantee that we are able to accept any more large fish. We suggest that you contact you nearest branch and speak directly to the manager there. However, we always give advice and guidance on how large fish grow, and what size tank they will require when fully grown.

Can I buy a fish over the internet? 

We are currently researching this issue, speaking to other companies - both in the United Kingdom and around the world.  We do have plans in place to sell our accessories and other products over the internet in the United Kingdom, but not overseas.

Do you sell fish 'wholesale'?

We do not sell fish on to other retailers, and have no plans to do so. We import from our network of suppliers around the world to buy fish for sale in our own stores.

Can you deliver to my home?

We are currently developing an online store and delivery service for equipment, we already deliver large and heavy items - such as ponds and tanks - to customers in the local area of each branch.
