Every year, the Practical Fishkeeping Readers' Poll Awards celebrate the very best businesses, products and people within the aquatics industry. Unlike many industry awards, the winners are decided by the people who matter most, fishkeepers and pondkeepers themselves.

That's why these awards mean so much to us.

At Maidenhead Aquatics, our goal has always been simple: help people enjoy fishkeeping and pondkeeping by offering healthy livestock, quality products, expert advice and exceptional customer service. Whether you're setting up your very first aquarium, building a dream pond, or maintaining a thriving reef tank, we want to be the place you can rely on for trusted support.

Today, we're asking for your help byy voting for us in this year's Practical Fishkeeping Readers' Poll Awards.

More than just a vote 

Every vote cast in the PFK Readers' Poll Awards is a recognition of the hard work, dedication and passion shown by our teams across the country every single day.

Behind every successful aquarium or pond is a conversation. A member of staff helping identify a fish. Advice on solving an algae problem. Guidance on choosing the right filter. Support during those inevitable challenges that every fishkeeper faces.

Our store teams are not just retail staff. They're fishkeepers, pond keepers and hobbyists themselves. They understand the excitement of starting a new aquarium, the pride of seeing fish thrive, and the satisfaction of creating a beautiful aquatic environment.

When you vote for Maidenhead Aquatics, you're recognising the expertise and commitment of those teams.

Supporting fishkeepers for decades

For many years, Maidenhead Aquatics has been dedicated to promoting responsible fishkeeping and helping customers enjoy the hobby with confidence.

  • Innovative exclusive products designed specifically for hobbyists
  • Friendly customer service from knowledgeable staff
