OutsideInside Aquatics is a family-run aquatics shop based in East Lothian, Scotland.  We are conveniently located just off the A1 in Haddington, East Lothian near Edinburgh. The business is dedicated to serving aquarists of all levels. We specialise in selling tropical fish and aquatic plants and pride ourselves in taking time to give all our customers the advice they need.

Our policy is that 'fish come first'. We insist that our fish go to good homes!

Tropical & Cold Water Fish

OutsideInside Aquatics  has over 90 display tanks containing freshwater fish. (Please note that we do not sell Marines or Rift Valley fish.)  Although we focus on interesting community fish there is always something unusual for the rare fish enthusiast. Take a look at our weekly tropical fish list which includes West African cichlids, South American cichlids, barbs, plecs, Synodontis, South American catfish and 'oddballs'. If you really cannot find anything that interests you, we can make specialist orders. We also offer a selection of pond fish in season. All new fish are quarantined.

Aquarium Plants

OutsideInside Aquatics actively promotes the planted aquarium as this not only improves filtration and reduces toxins, it also provides a better environment for fish health and breeding. All our aquarium plants are selected for ease of maintenance. They are best quality, fully rooted and vigorous . We also sell products to promote plant growth.

Pond Plants

Pond plants are on sale from April to the end of August. We stock a large variety of aquatic plants and waterlilies suitable for both formal ponds and wildlife ponds.

If you share our passion for aquatics, make sure to visit us next time you are in East Lothian!
