It's been a long time since we did an ON LOCATION special import of Asian arowana. The last time was 2008. We are very excited to announce that forum member and founder, Exoticaquaria (Mike), is going to Sabah, Malaysia to visit the MerLion Dreamfish farm! With the help of Nic Chia, owner of...

I have a pair of Eheim 2260 classic canister filters that are both going strong after 15 years. For this reason I am a big fan of their products (especially the classic 2260). I came across a really good video about the Eheim company:

I came across this beautiful Merlion Dreamgold on Youtube:

Aqua Market is a well stocked store that is not that far away from the Big Als. I was very impressed by the size of the shop and the knowledge of the owner. A good shop worth visiting.

From what I saw this store has a nice assortment of both marine and freshwater fish, as well as some exotic reptiles. In other words, the store is true...

This is one of the more "curious" stores that I have reviewed over the years. It is entirely home based, located in a large basement. I've started the attached photo expose by focussing on the beautiful Panda Gold Supreme that Sylvia (the store owner) has. The fish is obviously her pet. She...

This little gem of a store is tucked away in a semi-residential corner of Edmonton. It is well worth seeking out for the nice ambience, friendly owners, and well cared for livestock. The anecdote I'll share here concerns the care they show for their betta fish at this store. Keeping bettas can...

In the short time I have known Tuan, owner of Aquarium Central in Edmonton, I have been really impressed by his knowledge, integrity, and passion for the hobby. He is also a really nice person who goes out of his way to try and help people. I have witnessed this first hand as we have done some...
