Norway’s Largest Aquarium Shop

Earlier this summer I went to have a look at the largest aquarium shop in Norway. It’s called Akvariemagasinet and it’s located at Løren in Oslo. The shop is 700m² and you’ll find a wide selection of salt- and freshwater fish there.

I find the different creatures of the underwater world interesting and I have a dream that we’ll some day own our own place to live, and that we’ll have a large aquarium and a piano in our home. That’s why the aquarium shop is a great place for me to look around – it’s also a great place for photos!

Here’s a small tour of Akvariemagasinet and some of the psychedelic creatures that live there:

    • Thanks Richard. The photos got changed around now with the new gallery settings, but there’s still no doubt about which photo you refer too: that snout is just all over the lens! :D

    • No, I didn’t ask the gold fish a wish (but I wish I could have brought some of them home).

  4. Agree with Paula in “aquariums can be so hypnotising” or relaxing – the “7210″ maybe the most relaxing one if you count them then you don’t to count the sheeps so you are sleeping before that – great shots… :-)

    • We were talking about Canon Ixus (the camera), I guess you must be referring to a fish? Though, the Canon Ixus also grows and grows on you :)
