    Yes, they definitely stock tropical fish. However, as we only have cold-water fish in our aquarium, I haven't taken much of an interest in what tropicals they have so I can't answer the second part of your question.

    They had a fairly decent mixture, not massive but good enough for the hobbyist

    One question if anyone can answer - I picked up a few gourami. First time having them in the tank. All the other fish gobbled up the flakes but they seem kinda fussy eaters with it, like a peck at it and then swam off

    Quick google and it seems they like cucumber and peas!
    Now I'm guessing not mushy peas but can anyone point me to what type of peas and if feeding them cucumber what do you do?

    A gourami should take flake ok, it's possible they're just stressed, or were fed a different type of food so haven't worked out that yours is edible yet.

    How many do you have, in what size tank? IME they're quite territorial and can be terrible bullies.

    Only got 2 of them and they don't seem to be bothering anyone
    It's a 350 gallon tank (think I worked that out right) so plenty of room for them

    I think you might mean 320litre, a 320 gallon tank would be huuuuuuuuuge (like, 8 foot long). 320L should be plenty for them to have their own territories :)

    They have a poor selection from a poor supplier. Go up to Petstop in Carrickmines for better fish.
