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:

All of these fish show great potential. If you are in Alberta and are looking for a quality Asian arowana, I would check these fish out in person at Pisces Pets in Calgary, Alberta:

I made a video during my tour of the shop; you can get an idea of how large the shop really is :)

I visited Courtnay Pet Center on September 10, 2025. I found it to be a really well stocked store with staff who seem to know a lot about fish. They have a couple marine display tanks that are really stunning. I can see that in the Courtenay/Parksville area, this the place to come to for...

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.

Agreed. Is a really nice fish.

Thanks to Doug and Calvin for their hospitality. If you live in Moose Jaw and keep fish, you already know about DDK :) If you are passing through Moose Jaw and need pet supplies of any kind, check them out! https://ddkpets.ca/

I had a nice visit with the owner of DDK pets and his assistant. I forgot to ask what the "DDK" stands for, but as the owner is named Doug, maybe that has something to do with it? :) The store was not hard to find in Moose Jaw. The store is in a spacious building, with room to move about. I...

I was also impressed by some of the aquatic plants on sale at Prairie Aquatics and Exotics

I found this family run store bustling at the time of my visit, and so I did not have as much time as I would have liked to chat with the owner. 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...

Below are a few fancy plecos that Sylvia's helper was breeding on site. There were also a few "monster fish" uneasily getting along in a tank to one side. This in addition to all the "normal" aquarium fish you'd expect to find for sale in an aquarium shop (lots of tetras, smaller cichlids, nano...

She told me that she is quite well known as a "home based" aquarium store, sharing how even dentist receptionists have recognized her address, blurting out "Heh, isn't that the address for the aquarium store around there?" :)

Sylvia keeps the kind of fish that serious freshwater keepers want to keep, like altum angels, high grade discus, unusual L#'s...

As panda gold supremes go, I really think this is one of the best I've seen, so forgive me for maybe getting a bit carried away with the photos :) I made a video too, of course! Note the fish was largely raised in a 75 gallon before being transferred to its current tank when near adult size...

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. As you can see from the video below, as you drive up to the location, you would never guess you are about to enter a fairly major aquarium store... I've...

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...
