Southerrrngirrl Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm going to be in Christchurch over the weekend, just wondering anyone can recommend some good fish shops with some nice displays. I won't be buying anything, i just want to have a look. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Organism on the cnr Ilam and Clyde Rd Redwood Aquatics - opposite Willowbank Wildlife Park, Hussey Rd Bubble and Squeak - 250 Stanmore Rd You might also want to check out Critter Kingdom - 213 Blenheim Rd Pet World - 475 Ferry Rd The Water Garden is good if you are into ponds etc - 297 Blenheim Rd (not far from Critter Kingdom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Thanks Caryl! Now I just need to figure out where they are in relation to where we are staying. We are definitly going to visit Willowbank while there so that one should be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I would have suggested it but you said "fish shops" :lol: Where in ChCh will you be? We can help you work out which are easiest to get to from your location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yeah sorry about that.. at the time I posted, it didn't occur to me that there might be actual aquarium displays in places other than shops.. silly me! We're staying around the Westpac Arena area..wherever that is! Haven't checked the map yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 a couple minutes from the Most well kept animates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Google search "christchurch map" Then theres a pic of a map where you can simply type the addresses of the place that your looking for and where your staying. It can tell you how far the places are. That way you don't even need to look for a street on a map 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 oh yea the animates are in moorhouse ave, towerjunction shopping centre(the 1 dixon mentioned) , and papanui rd, pet world in ferrymead rd may also be worth a look most of the shops will have just got a new shipment in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 What hail? just seen this - was sitting in the church (funeral) at the corner of barrington street listening to a song and the next thing on one side of the church the hail belted down, and again when we were driving back to the airport. anyway enjoy yourself Wok - I was virtually brought up at the Canterbury A&P Show and the Addington Race course and every year at this time I start to twitch :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
