Andrew Lindsey has more than 40 years’ of practical, full-time experience at one of the region’s most respected aquatic retailers, Langleys Aquatics Ltd. His role included the quarantine and treatment of thousands of newly imported fish, ranging from inexpensive goldfish to high-value quality Japanese Koi, as well as maintaining the health of the existing fish. Over the years he has been able to trial many treatments and refine dose rates.
During this time, he has overseen numerous projects from simple pond cleanouts to major projects worth tens of thousands of pounds, advising retail and trade customers on all aspects of fishkeeping. In addition, he was the Aquatics Consultant or pond doctor for Langleys Aquatics, visiting the ponds of dozens of customers annually, covering aspects such as; fish health, water quality, filtration, pond construction, refurbishment, and planting advice.
