Fish keepers in the Netherlands, what are the best or your favourite fish shops or other places with aquatics sections?

[rebe]

On holiday with my family until early Friday morning, might have the chance to visit a dutch LFS. Possibly not, but if I do I'd love to have a/some recommendations to check out. Staying in Haarlem but my family is traveling a fair amount during the afternoons, (like Leiden and Amsterdam for example) so I don't mind travelling a bit for it.

I can't travel back in Ireland, as I haven't finished learning to drive and there are no transport links near me, and I don't have anyone to drive me to fish shops a few hours away.

So anybody or aquarium hobbyists in the Netherlands, recommendations or experiences would be very much appreciated

These are stores worth to visit when you're in Holland. They are easily accessible by public transport.

What's also worthwhile to pay a visit to is this zoo Burger's zoo in Arnhem. They're got this mangrove section that's really a must see. They've created a copy of a biotope from Belize. Our livebearer society has given advice about the livebearers that live overthere.

I had a look at the video you linked and their website, looks incredible. If it works out, I'd absolutely go!

Thank you for so many recommendations! I'll have a look at them tonight and tomorrow (online) and see if I can visit any of maybe a few. I'd love to do a full tour of your recommendations and Matt's
(Definitely not possible in 1-2 days )

That zoo looks incredible. Those mangroves!

It's really worthwhile to pay a visit to... You can take the bus at the train station and the bus stops right in front of the zoo.

If I ever visit the Netherlands I'll be sure to put that on a list of places to visit. I'm off to Copenhagen in a few months and thinking of going to Den Blå Planet. Heard good things about it
