Post new topic

TR-Mavi

Hello there :)

I am new to this blog been in Saudi for a year and I'm into planted aquariums I normally get some plants when I travel and I just found an amazing shop I'm Doha Qatar aquaart.com.qa/
Aqua art have many plants and shrimp etc. they even have new Japanese aquarium brand called ADA nice and modern.

But if anyone know a good shop in Saudi let me know at moment I get some from a shop in turkey near my home.

hi, nice to see someone here who is into planted tanks as well. i have been keeping planted tanks for so many years now. the website you saw, i think, no longer exists. i phoned them before but there was no answer. as for any plant shops here, there is a good one in dammam but i think you are in jeddah so it's too far from you. i have some good quality plants, maybe we can swap. what plants are you looking for?

there is a tropica dealer in turkey, i believe. are you getting your plants from there?

Yes, Aqua Art are still there, look them up on Facebook.   Best in the region by far.  Even shops in Saudi buy there plants from them.

TR-Mavi

I have called aqua art in Doha yesterday and they do have all type of shrimps and plants even filtilzers and co2 etc. I wish I can go to Doha but I prefer going to turkey as I get to visit family and friends at same time  ;)

Ya I get my plants from tropica and my favorite is 1-2 Grow! Sometimes I buy from local shops if it was plant I like. But i really like to bring some shrimps not sure if it's legal to bring cross countries in flights :)

Asmack Arabia

that is nice to hear. i get my plants online. doha is like 3 hours away from my place so i will for sure find a way to visit it soon, inshallah. i really need some amano shrimps as i am having a difficult time with bba.

what plant species are you keeping? are you using presurrized co2?

TR-Mavi

Hope you mange get your shrimps at moment i got cherry shrimps i did give male and female to a shop in Jeddah now he got few of them but they really don't know how to take care of plants and shrimps here.

This my tank My fish tank

I had more plants but I have sold them. I use a DYI co2 at home works fine.

Helo,
Im living in jubail for 1.5 year.
Can i know location of the planted aquarium shop in dammam.... im in jubail. I can drive there...

Asmack Arabia

hi ciko,

sorry for the late reply. there is one in dammam but it is not entirely dedicated to planted tanks. it sells live plants once in a while so you may have to check it every now and then.

btw, i sell my excess plants from time to time. pm me if you are interested.

thanks.
