What Happened to Aqua Sheko Fish Spa After Dragons’ Den?
Aqua Sheko Fish Spa appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 6. The business was a fish tank pedicure. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2012.
The Pitch
Karen and Jo-Chan Ho walked into the Den in 2011 with a fish tank pedicure. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 30% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Karen and Jo-Chan Ho left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Aqua Sheko Fish Spa did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2012 — just a year after appearing on the show.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Aqua Sheko Fish Spa Still in Business?
No. Aqua Sheko Fish Spa is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
