盒子里的鱼brasília
Fish in a Boxis a local fish store we were recommended to visit in the city of Brasília, the capital city of Brazil. Don’t be deceived by this little store in a box, once you open the doors you will find a coral selection worth a closer look.
Fish in a box is owned by two friends André and Leandro and has been open for just shy of five years in Brasília. Since opening their doors the shop continues envigorating the local reef aquarium community in Brasília delivering healthy happy fish and a well-curated collection of desirable reef aquarium corals.
Upon entering the store there is a long frag tank in the center of the room filled with a selection of puffyCynarina珊瑚,明亮Euphylliahammer corals, and neon green toadstool leathers. But the selection doesn’t stop there.
您越深入研究显示器,每个流行的LPS水族馆珊瑚都至少有一个示例。选择的选择给我们留下了深刻的印象blblymussa和Micromussacorals, an unexpected surprise.
There were also a few larger coral colonies including a residentCatalaphylliaelegance coral and a bright redMontiporasetosa珊瑚。
盒子里的鱼再次有一些小表演坦克,重点是LPS珊瑚,目前正在为商店重建一个更大的表演坦克。安德烈(André)解释说,他喜欢在SPS上出售LPS,因为这为客户提供了更好的成功率。
Oh and if you’re on the hunt for some beautiful anemonies, Fish in a box has you covered. We didn’t ask if this ‘Amazon Sunburst’ anemone was for sale but we’re sure a fancy clownfish pair would love to call this beauty home!
The Secret Room
正如我们所说,走进这家鱼类商店时,还有更多的眼睛。虽然楼上的珊瑚选择足以让任何业余爱好者都开心,但安德烈(André)将我带到盒子里的秘密鱼类中,长大了。
After visiting a few stores in Brazil we noticed each store has a healthy selection ofgreen star polyp,softies, and shrooms. We really like the simplicity of these corals and the enthusiasm Brazilians have for keeping these coral species.
健康鱼类和珊瑚的伊斯皮拉
One thread running through all the stores and distributors we’ve visited in Brazil, and the general consensus among the industry, is the importance of proper care and husbandry of aquarium creatures. Corals and fish are more than collectibles, they are family members and prized possessions.
这部分是由于高进口成本,因此,客户的购买成本更高。店主宁愿放弃出售挑剔的鱼类和挑战珊瑚种类,以减少损失。这也转化为快乐的客户,他们慢慢地毕业于更具挑战性的礁石水族馆居民。
真正有前途的是巴西礁社区对这种哲学的承诺。商店所有者谈论谈话并步行走路。例如,Fish是一个盒子,包括护理指导表,隔离说明,以及预先包装的隔离区,细菌和浮游动物,以及所有牲畜购买。
In October of last yearFish in a box还举办了一个名为“ Inspira”的一日活动,邀请科学家和专业人士提供有关礁石水族馆营养,礁石坦克故障排除以及有关珊瑚礁的生物学和保护的演讲。
Overall we are thrilled to see stores like Fish in a box as a central point for aquarium hobbyists in Brazil. Of course, if you find yourself in Brasília or visiting some of the surrounding national parks, take the time to stop by Fish in a box and say hi to André, Leandro and the team!
