Directions
It's short: the A143 to Bury St Edmunds, a couple of minutes on the A14, then the roundabouts. The top of Tut Hill is closed, so please come in this way round. If your sat nav suggests a different way, follow these directions. From the village:


Worth the trip
At 15 minutes you don't need a reason. But here's how people from Ixworth tend to use us.
Pond and koi keepers pop over for koi and coldwater fish, treatments and pond supplies as the seasons change. Reef keepers use the short drive to pick up a TMC order: we're an authorised stockist, so we can order in from TMC's range of marine fish and corals and ring you when it's in.
If you keep reptiles, we're near enough for livefood and frozen food runs, and for the odd bulb or heat mat when one gives up. Thinking about a first reptile? Come and talk it through before you buy anything.
Tropical and aquarium
We keep tropical fish and everything a freshwater tank needs, from aquariums and equipment to frozen food, treatments and live plants. We offer water testing in the shop, so call in with any questions about your water.
Regulars often come in with a photo of the tank and a question. That works well. So does a note of the tank size and what's in it.

Before you set off
