We were invited to attend Vivarium 2010 in Neiwegen Holland. It was a 2 days exhibition for all things aquatic and reptilian.
The show was very well organised, with volunteers on hand to help out.
There were lots of activities for the children to go to, while the parents wandered around the exhibition.
Kiddies stuff

the face painting was excellent and free. There were lots of table with paper, crayons, paints and stuff to glue. The children were having a great time.
Sculptors




bit too big for a viv lol
There were various competitions.
Paludarium competitions



Not sure which one won the competition.
Forum competitions
The dutch really love a forum, there were many tables promoting the forums the two best were.

these are the forums for Stingrays and Pufferfish, these people were really nice and were the winners of the forum competitions

The guppy forum.
Exhibits - Reptiles
There was not as many reptiles as fish but there was a nice selection, along with a few very unusual sights.
Bearded dragons

Our stand - and a few of our babies, we got tons more tables than we ordered it was nice to be able to put all of our babies on show.



This was a bit worring as it was not securred in any way.

Fish Stuff
We have never seen fish in bags for sale before. Not sure that they would allow it in England.






A beautiful blue tank
We will definatly be going to Vivarium 2011, it is going to be held at the same venue. The organisers were very easy to contact and even came round during the show to ask how we were doing and if we had any suggestions on how the show could be improved.
Sorry for such a long post but the show was so huge and varied.
Thank you for your time.
