Maroun.C,

I live in Istanbul but Aydin is my hometown. I dont think that you can find a special fish store in there but in Istanbul, you can find so many... One etc; at the Anotolian side, there is one big as DNB, www.deep-nblue.com. Also you can find so many eachother in Eminönü at the European side. Idont know how many fish shop in Ýstanbul.. Maybe over 250.

I am one of the member of Aquarists Society, if you want to contact us, please add my msn.
