Betta Aquatics has been around since 1989, when we started out in a garden centre in Elmstead Market. You seemed to like what we offered, so much so that we found we needed to relocate to larger premises in Colchester and then to Elmstead Market in 1998.

We're Bigger Than We Look

We stock practically everything you could possibly need to keep your tropical, cold water, pond fish in top form; but, if there is something else that you want, we can normally acquire it within a few days. Our staff are helpful and knowledgeable so, please, don’t hesitate to ask any questions you might have.

And it gets ‘Betta and Even Better’. We also run a pond and aquarium cleaning service (available locally) and can offer advice and consultancy for everything to do with your pond.
