Historical Insight Of Aquarium Business In Singapore

I've reared fishes, namely sword tails, betas since young, however my experience in aquascaping/planted tanks go back since 1999 I believe the key players in this profession/industry are Aquatechnic and Crowntol. Basically, aquatechnic specialize in Dutch concept aquariums (Open aquaria) whereas Crowntol is an advocate of the Nature Aquarium. In 1999, I've visited several shops that sell ornamental fishes, but few carry a wide range of plants. Crowntol, which was introduced to me by a friend, was specialized in this industry. I.E they offer consultancy to clients on the ADA concept, and naturally set-up "The Nature Aquarium" for clients who are appreciative of having a Aquarium Biotope as part of the Interior Decor of their home/office.

These two companies are also distributors of 2 big names in aquaria products. Aquatechnic carries Dupla products, and Crowntol carries ADA equipment. (However, products for Dupla, and ADA)


I've been observing, that more aquarium shops (as of 1999), who traditionally sell only fishes are being to include planted tanks in their display, and selling more species of plants! Well, by the looks of this, more people will know about this hobby, and hopefully, the increase in the number of hobbyist
