Good nostalgia. Here it started for me with the aquarium hobby. Rifwachter had tough times but they survived. Great shop!

It is such a good feeling when you find a new store that is excellent! Unfortunately a rare feeling but a good one :)

Gaaf dat je daar geweest bent, is een prachtige zaak. Een paar jaar geleden hadden ze nog een afdeling met gigantisch grote show-aquaria waar een dierentuin jaloers op zou zijn. Helaas zijn ze daar mee gestopt. Hopelijk krijgen ze met deze nieuwe eigenaren weer een impuls, want het werd de laatste jaren wel wat minder.

@littlenikki9539 Жыл бұрын
I really wish that Koi pond was deeper, I know overall it was quite large but some of those fish looked uncomfortable. My family pond that my dad built which is quite massive is about 6ft at its deepest point possibly a little deeper. I got the impression that the second pond featured was a bit deeper but was a bit hard to tell. What a great wee place though and I wonder if you were picking up any stocking for your marine macro algae tank?! 🤔😊
