Across Europe you will see a mix of specialty aquatics and general pet shops. Confirm they stock ADA/Tropica-style substrates or hardscape before travelling across town.
Start with highly rated options such as Hortus Botanicus Leiden (4.6, 7,164 reviews), Bon animal shop (4.8, 355 reviews) and Moerkerk Plant Paradise (4.6, 281 reviews). Many cities also list general pet shops — ask staff about planted-tank soil and fertiliser before assuming they only sell fish kits.
Should I call before visiting?
Yes — stock of live plants, aquasoil, and CO₂ accessories changes quickly. Confirm hours on the store card and ask whether they carry the brands you need.
