Thank you for taking all the time and effort to post these! I wish I had the opportunity to visit one of these shows. I know they have them in Minneapolis occasionally ... might have to scope that out next time!

Gawd my chameleon would have the fingers off some child stroking his face or head LOL

I love the clean looking tanks on display etc but at the same time, feel a lot of them are misleading as they might look beaautiful, but long term the fish are unsuitable/in bizarre numbers (saw a photo elsewhere of 15+ electric blue rams in what looked like 30-40L)/unsustainable tanks that just mislead the public to think they can realistically run a tank that looks like that.

Mind you, a lot of people dont realise that a lot of these 'pretty looking' aquascapes are only set up for the photo and then dismantled again. Seems a waste to set up something beautiful but impossible to run.

It's like a whole aquarium in there!
I used to have a LFS with very nice tanks like that but they recently went out of business :cry: :tear: forcing me to petco or 35 minutes away. I'll drive the 35 minutes maybe once a month or every 6 weeks but I usually just go to petco then quarantine.

to tell the truth i went on Saturday and the show was crap it was more like the aquatic design centerers big day trip
nothing much for sale very disappointed with the whole show it was in Olympia it was in Olympia 2 which is a very small place and to tell you that the Dr who show next door was better is saying something

anyone who went cant say it was a great day out i done the whole show with lunch in just over 1.5 hours if i didnt get the 2 for 1 tickets online and paid the full £40 entry for a family of 4 i would have been mad
