Visit to Aachen (Germany)

Post by Marc van Arc »

Today Sidguppy and me went to visit two shops in Aachen: Aquatop and Fressnapf.
The high expectations for Aquatop were unjust: a huge shop but to our regrets very few fish. As far as we are concerned not worth another visit, especially because after our first visit we made the same promise....
Fressnapf on the other hand was an eye opener. The shop is much larger than it looks on the website.Loads of catfish, e.g. Horabagrus, Ompok, various Synodontis, various Pimelodids etc. Prices were very realistic.
Nice people as well. Not afraid to tell us that some Synos were bred in Eastern Europe and thus hybrids. They were not happy with it either.
I went home with some old friends: a couple of Liosomadoras oncinus. For anyone interested: this one is worthwhile.
