    Wow - so beautiful!
    Looks more like a gallery of fine exhibits than a LFS.

    This is a superb store to visit if you happen to be in this part of the world The stores carry a good variety of fauna and equipment. Store is nicely setup, it looks and feel more like a boutique shop, by the way it is an ADA authorise distributor. Excellent 1 stop store for all your aqua needs and with top-notch service from our friends from Malaysia.

    I am just a very happy customer who enjoy patronising the store. Kudos to Kelvin, Yap and Jeep who make it happen in the land covered with sand everywhere and scotching heat throughout the year.

    Yes, you have to be there to see it for yourself. Much planning and effort have been put in to set up such a wonderful store and I have to take my hats off for these guys managing the place. Every new shipment bring me to the shop to enjoy the display tank and I am very glad that Kelvin (store manager) can get in a good variety of fresh, marine fauna as well as plants. It is a combination of C328, Nature Aquarium and Biotope all in 1, really 1 stop.

    WOA... I agree with juggler. It looks more like a aquatic gallery than a normal LFS.

    well maybe it's time to change the perception of what a LFS is suppose to look like?

    Aquariums are to me a living work of art.... so shouldn't they be featured in a "gallery" style setting?

    The gallery concept will bring this hobby to another level and hope that customer service level do go up with it too.

    By the way AquaArt have 2 x ADA 6ft tank with 12mm glass, 1 for marine and the other for plants, each tank cost more than $15k

    Yup, it is braceless, solid ADA quality. Such a huge tank and the silicone finishing is just fantastic, a very thin layer for it's size with clean joint and not forgetting the crystal clear quality of the glass. It is in deed a class of it's own. You can see it in the 1st pic, the 2 tanks on the left corner with brown colored cabinet.

    The living expenses is about 30% higher than Singapore. I would list housing rental as the most expensive item in Doha, a small 3 rooms apartment can easily cost you SGD6k monthly. However, the salary you get over there should be at least twice of what you are getting in SG, so no complain.

    Price for the fauna and equipment is about double the price compare to SG, I would consider it reasonable as they are paying maybe SGD20k-30k for the shop monthly rental.

    yeah.. i have been to certain aquarium shops in singapore situated in shopping centres. they are selling fauna like cherry barb like 10 times as expensive? i'm appalled by how they are able to survive like that.
