HAHA.. well about the LFS question...I used to visit Holgen all the time. I jused to live near this shop. But just to order food or filters. Some how Dutch LFS's just don't seem to have the equipment I need.
Now I hardly visit LFS's anymore I'm not a real collector of fish. I just have 2 Lungfish.
And shop more at Pond Shops (for japanese koi) to get my filters. (Mijn vissen zijn inmiddels te groot om deze als aquarium vissen te behandelen) ik laat nu een HDPE bak lassen voor een van mijn vissen. My fish are now at my parents place because I just moved to Arnhem. Have to ship one over as soon as the new tank is ready.

oops somehow I switched to dutch in my story.

Have you been to Aqua Ferrytale?

Well, while my Dutch isn't perfect, I can read most of it ;) (I'm only half Dutch and spent most of my life in Asia).

Never been to Aqua Ferrytale, to be honest I have never even heard of it before...but certainly will be google to find out what/where it is.

I go to two places which is one local mom & pop type shop and the other is a bigger one called deebo (spelling is probably wrong). I've heard of a place in Rotterdam called I think "fish world" so I need to investigate that place still.

You are never alone, I'm from Holland too!
But I think i'm the guy you were referring to in the beginning of your post!
Did you ever visit the LFS in Hoogvliet RT already?
greetz vanuit EDE

Yep, indeed that was you I was refering to :)

I did have a look on marktplaats as you suggested - found a couple of places/vendors on there but no one with what I want. So I've gone to the little local guy and he's going to put in an order for me for the Texas (which is what I was looking for) from Belgium.

Hoogvliet is north or south Rotterdam? I should know that as I lived there for five years :nilly:
 
that is a beautiful country i really want to visit .....
 
^ It is quite a beautiful country... especially recently as we have had some nice weather.

Any plans on heading out this way?
 
Looks liek a nice country, 8). Your thread has inspired me to start one where I post pics of Australia that I took (mainly just from some scrubland down the road). lol.

almost all dutch people speak some form ofenglish, so don't expect to have a hard time with a language barrier.
