Belgium Local fish store gives inspirations to the US, UK

In the United States and the United Kingdom we might have a few select local fish stores that are the cream of the crop, but this local fish store that is located in Belgium is sure different. With the green paint on the walls to the ultra-clean shop, this is something that you don’t see everyday. We did notice that you’ll only find ATB skimmers at this location and quiet vortech pump running on the only coral grow out tank in the store. Still, this store has us wanting to go to Belgium. Anyone else?

  1. Many of the German and UK fish stores are much nicer than anything I’ve seen in Canada. In fact, I haven’t seen any “beautiful” lfs here. Take heed LFS, it’s time to renovate! Imagine a cafe/fish shop… A girl can dream, can’t she?

  2. Those pics reminds of a LFS in Connecticut. Very clean and carry high end equipment and of course corals and fishes. Beautiful huge show tank is worth taking a trip there.

  3. WAy-

    You are probably referring to Greenwich Aquaria in CT (http://www.greenwichaquaria.com/). Undoubtedly one of the best stores in the region, if not the country. They also face tough competition from House of Fins in the same town (http://houseoffins.com/). Another top notch store.

    Arguably, both of those stores are as nice as the store above.

  5. I told my LFS he should build a nice bar into his shop, can you imagine the money you’d spend around closing time ;)
