malawiman Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hi I'm heading down to Napier/Hastings the end of Nov and want to know if there are any good Aquarium/ LFS there? Will have to visit them if so. Let me know please. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I know of one Aquarium that has a massive saltwater tank and quite a few Biotope tanks as well as other fresh water tanks... And it is located close to town as well. its the National Aquarium :lol: Don't forget to visit: Deco City Pets, Civic Court Napier Aqua Fever, Palmers in Hastings.

Keri Anne Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Wok is on to it. When are you coming? Best time to go the the National Aquarium is 1pm - that gives you a good hour to have a look around before the shark feeding at 2pm. [And you can always backtrack after the shark feeding if you've missed anything.] If you've never been there I'd allow a good 1 1/2 hours to have a good look around.

SpidersWeb Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Is it open on Sunday? I'll be in Napier this weekend, picking up new toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keri Anne Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 For anybody up this way there is always a standing offer for a game of "Risk" if you play. My boyfriend is always looking for people to beat other than me and the people next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 The best LFS is at Palmers garden centre in Hastings, they have a great selection of fresh and salt water fish and they also have in my humble opinion a couple of better tank displays than the National aquarium which was disappointing last time I saw it. (I know I'll get into trouble for saying that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
