Brilliant. Got to pay this one a visit. So weird seeing your video showing an incredible store in my own country 🙂

[@peasantrobot]

MD, what watch was on you wrist? Thank you!

[@durst101]

Video 60 of asking for a tank with some freshwater dolphinfish please.

[@JessicaZane4realz]

That is one of the cleanest and neatest, and most organized fish stores I have ever seen.

[@quirinaled2752]

It's unreal - fish/pond stores in Europe are crazy.

[@Jack-e8h3u]

Cleanest,neatest and

Also absolutely massive!

[@thomasgeerinck731]

This is my go to fishstore, it’s nearby my home. They have an amazing and healthy stock, good scaping material and a good knowledge about fish and everything they sell. I can only recommend this store for everyone in Belgium.

[@lpoolck17]

Wow. To call this a fish store is an understatement. It's a superstore paradise! What a place. The owner should be proud.

[@jm01157]

This guy is like an encyclopedia, amazing to see people so passionate about their craft

[@dewaseaquariumenvijverwinkel]

Definitely accurate calling our store manager a ‘local legend’! - Not the store manager typing this 😅 It was amazing having you over! Thanks for this nice edit. Hope to welcome you again in the future! 💪🏼

[@Christina92488]

I love the back panel lighting, do you ship overseas? (USA)

[@212dixie]

Hi, could you tell what are the yellow and purple fish in the tank on the counter at 2:53 please?

[@quirinaled2752]

@Christina92488 Do you mean the tank with the diffused green/yellow light in the back? Not sure what they're using but you can find diffuser panels for LEDs commercially and set some LED lights with the right colours.

[@dewaseaquariumenvijverwinkel]

@@212dixie Cyprichromis leptosoma ‘tricolor’

[@dewaseaquariumenvijverwinkel]

@@Christina92488 we do not ship overseas. Ours are from a company called the lightground. You should be able finding something similar.

[@Slaphitter]

Is Belgium a secret hotspot crawling with fish keeping enthusiasts? That store is amazing - it must have a huge customer base to support that!

[@fastaddicts1817]

It is definitly getting more popular in belgium

[@shanks2872]

I would actually say it's not THAT popular, we have a lot of fishermen but I don't think we have that many fishkeepers. Most of the stores (not a lot of them) I frequent are very nice compared to what I've seen from other countries. We do have a lot of pondshops tho.

[@AVDB95]

The thing I noticed from doing a flexijob (extra job ontop off your normal 4/5 or fulltime job) in an aquariumstore is that customers sometimes travel long (for Belgium terms) distances. Also most people do buy from actual fishstores oposed to petstores since most petstores either don't have fish or have a verry limited selection. Another advantage we have is being close to Germany. Loads off aquarium companies and fishbreeders are located there. For example most discus sold in Belgium orignate from Germany, until recently most discus came from Stendker and the breeder that stepped up when Stendker stopped is also German. Germany is also the location off Glaser, they are a wholeseller for both captive breds and wildcaught fish like L-numbers, angelfish and discus.

[@usaaddicts9346]

and that's not even the best one. Love to be a belgium fish keeper. Hell yeah

[@AVDB95]

@@usaaddicts9346 I do think that it's bigger than the fishstores in my corner off Belgium but from what I can see in the video 2 off the stores close to me have a bigger fish selection.

[@Devinered]

MD you were like a kid in a candy store! Amazing surprises around every corner! What a beautiful shop! Owner gave a wonderful tour!! Coco is just lovely! Thanks for another interesting video!!!

[@macfin_inc2709]

I am someone in America and the only stores near me that have fish stuff, is Pet Smart and Petco. I am ridiculously jealous.

[@Idkreallyoouugghhhh]

what a beautiful and well maintained shop!! they are doing such a wonderful job at everything!! also all those plants WOW!!!

[@Diospyros1985]

Definitely appreciate the comment about store presentation - I've been to so many local fish stores that need to take a cue from this one!

[@ashamane]

This is so cool! The American in me keeps thinking "Oh god they're going to be sued out of business" by the outdoor section. Really nice to see other countries citizens take responsibility for their own blunders. In the US you'd have to ban kids from going there cuz they'd fall in and the mom would blame the store lol. But wow. Just wow this place could be a destination! Very inspiring.

[@Riazz18]

Love your vids bro, really inspired me to stay away from crime and negative energy, and focus on tank builds ❤

[@jokulhlaup1143]

It's astonishing how, despite the linguistic and national barriers, you and your host still speak the same language. How fun!

That is the store where i bought all my aquarium stuff. It's an amazing store with very friendly staff.

[@nickyweermann]

Thanks for coming to here. I and my dauchter loved you re aquascaping in the store. I’m glad to see you in real live 😊

[@eelcog]

I normally don't like 'shop visit' video's, but this one is awesome!

[@SilionVD]

I just started following your channel as I want to learn a bit more about aquascaping and the first video you post is a store in my town. Was looking at their site just yesterday because of your channel. Love your videos.

[@GrowMoreVeggies]

What a beautiful shop. Goodness! They set the bar quite high.

[@Royjah-sp9rm]

I would actually pay to walk through that store. WOW

I am so excited to see your discus tank!!!!!!! 😀🤩💕🩵✨ Also, great fish store!

[@banditfishing1558]

To keep up on the arowana the info wasn’t too far off at all! Silver Arowana coming from South America are most common and they’re the biggest of the Arowana getting upwards of 4 feet in some cases. Black arowana are also from South America and are a bit rarer than silvers, have a similar look to silvers when they get bigger but don’t get as big. Upto 2.5 feet from what I know. Asian Arowana have many varieties but they all get a similar size. Somewhere between 2 and 2.5 feet but most commonly they don’t get over 2 feet

[@valeriee9532]

MD, if possible, please return to this shop next summer for a follow-up tour. I’d love to see the bar and seating area when in use😉🤪 🍻

[@juniorponnet6444]

The hobby growned so much here in belgium. As you al can see. Nice to see your exploring county shops. ✊

So sad I couldn't make it! This is my favorite shop by far, only to be matched with my favorite KZbinr.. and I couldn't get off from work, better luck next time I guess. 😁 Great vid btw! 😁 Hope you enjoyed Belgium a bit. 😁

[@Saxonwomen]

Should have said you had an appointment & no you can’t ask what for it’s personal… That’s it thay can not ask more questions & can not refuse as it could be medical 😁

You should see the sturgeon at Bonneville Fish Hatchery near Portland, Oregon. The biggest one they have must be 7 feet and maybe 300 lbs. True prehistoric monster!

Wish I knew about your workshop, would have definitely visited!

[@wirtification]

MD, go have a look, at Ohio Fish Rescue for the massive fish... the ariwana, aripimas, assorted catfish, huge chiclids, sturgeons, paddlefish, assorted "sharks", bass, lungfish, etc... exotic and massive. They take in the the fish that outgrow home tanks and ponds. Koi and goldfish as well. They also breed rays and take in rays. One thing I've learned from watching them is what type of fish NOT to buy for my home aquariums. I did not realize how monster size those types of fish grow to be. 😮😢 they do good works. They rehome, send to aquariums, sell some to help with funding tanks and food and equipment. But omg, the MASSIVE FISH!!!!!! They have a converted indoor swimming pool for the real big monsters, where they go when they reach a certain size to safely be in with other monsters.
