‎ While in Germany, Cory visited the Aqua Lounge - a beautiful fish store and aquascaping gallery that the owner started in the side of his home. The entrance has several couches so that you can relax and get inspired by the many planted aquariums, both large and nano sized. The center island has lots of aquascaping rocks and driftwood with a staging area for you to pick your favorite hardscape. Furthermore, the store sells aquarium equipment, plants, fish, and other products. Definitely a very neat place that you should visit if you're in the area.

We gotta make this hobby more mainstream so we can have stores like this.

@lloyda2025 2 года назад

That might also make more information mainstream and cut down on things like people putting bettas in vases and thinking its fine.

@beastly_brisket_man6249 2 года назад

@@lloyda2025 yup. Pricing on a lot of stuff would probably go down too.

@barbarusbloodshed6347 2 года назад

Maybe you need stores like this to make it more mainstream? Hen or the egg... here in Germany we had proper stores for ages, so I can't tell you exactly what came first. What I can tell you is that this hobby has been popular in Germany for 150+ years.

@hollanderson 2 года назад

If I had a house and not an apartment I'd totally make a section just for visitors / a little store.

@greggc68 2 года назад

No kidding. European fresh water/planted aquarium stores are great comparing to what we have here which, with a few exceptions, is mostly nothing.

@rickfromthecape3135 2 года назад

We are so far behind here in America when it comes to the aquarium hobby. I hope we catch up soon. I'd love to be able to find a store like this or like the Aquarium Gardens stores in GB. Instead I'm stuck with PS and PC.

@butkusfan23 2 года назад

I have two LFS’s near me. Both carry fish that the big box stores do not carry, so that’s cool. But one is very small, and most of the fish there are overpriced to the point of being ridiculous. I mean, they have golden wonder killifish priced at $24.99. For a 3 inch juvenile that sells for $7 at any other store? Crazy. They had black neons for $10 apiece. Nuts. I mean, I suppose it encourages people to take better care of them, but it really just seems like they are clueless. My other store is absolutely awesome. They have a great variety of plants, fish, spider wood and rocks, and various equipment and accessories. Their tanks and fish all look healthy and clean. Last time I was there I got the last 8 dwarf rasboras they had for $3 apiece and all are very healthy.

@user-tz9jh6pv2j 2 года назад

Pretty much every country with any sort of aquarium fishkeeping scene are way more knowledgeable than us in the US. I travel frequently to Germany, Japan, and Hong Kong for work. I've befriended some fish store owners (I speak German and Mandarin) and have learned so much. It's always such a joke when there are videos of tours of fish stores in Germany/Japan/HK (and China/Thailand/etc) and you see a bunch of Americans commenting how they're "doing it wrong" and how they're "abusing the fish". Americans are so embarrassing.

@barbarusbloodshed6347 2 года назад

@@user-tz9jh6pv2j Man merkt auf jeden Fall, dass das Hobby in Deutschland seit 150 Jahren sehr beliebt ist. Viele der Firmen sind ja schon über hundert Jahre alt. Und es sammelt sich auch in den Familien über die Generationen hinweg viel Wissen an - mein Großvater hatte Aquarien, mein Vater hatte Aquarien, meine Onkel hatten Aquarien... da sind eine Menge praktische Erfahrungen, auf die ich zugreifen kann, indem ich einfach nur meine Verwandten frage. Sowas hat man natürlich nicht in einem Land, in dem das Hobby nicht so verbreitet ist. Wenn man der Erste in der Familie ist, der das Hobby betreibt, hat man eben niemanden, den man um Rat fragen kann.

OMGosh, 10 seconds in, what are those things on the coffee table? I think they're called books! 😎Ha! 😄Thanks for the tour. I thought his cory fish looked healthy and happy 👍

@richardcolligon4277 2 года назад

It look's like my living room! All I would need is my little Pomeranian and a mug of coffee, I would be set for life. Germany has always been ahead of us in the fish world. What town did you say it was in? I would have to live between their and Hamburg where the largest model railway is. I would need a Home Depot on the corner. Thanks for sharing Cory.

@dragon6irl 2 года назад

I love smooth black pebble substrates! I used to have them in all of my tanks before I started using fluorite "dark." I used a brand from Chewy, and then I sprinkled in their jade color as well for interest. Kinda like the salt and pepper sand vibe.

@sarahwoodring5587 2 года назад

So cool! I can't imagine how much time and effort it takes to maintain so many gorgeous aquascapes. I wonder if many people go just to "lounge" and tie up associates trying to serve customers?

@barrylinkiewich9688 2 года назад

I came for the long tank and I wasn't disappointed.... 10'+ is a lot of aquarium and it looks great! I've got an 8' in my living room and I love watching the fish get a chance to school or shoal and get some speed going before they turn and flit away.

@MatthewFTabor 2 года назад

So happy to see appreciation for those stones. My 1.2 meter tank is a semi-river system with those stones on the flow side, hard scape up the middle of the tank, and the stones transition into red sand as the water flows around the corner and calms down.

Yes when we lived in Germany a lot of people had a small room in the front of your house usually with two entrances one to the house and one to the shop lived above the shop but most of them just had one room in their house that was a little store and it didn’t have to be on the main road it could be anywhere in any neighborhood I don’t think they would let us do that in America

@mikefrost1312 Год назад

The good smooth rocks grow algae really nicely 👌 so if you have shrimp or smaller catfish like corys or algae eaters, they're perfect for the tank. The fish will eat the algae constantly
