Link2Hell Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 It is with a heavy heart that we will bid fairwell to Labyrinth Aquarium at Campsie as it has been an intrical part of the hobby in Sydney since first open by Norm & Danni Halliwell and then taken over by Andrew Peterson It was one of the last bastions for a shop that wouldn't bow to the trend of hybrids that seems to infest other shops (yeah I know it's a business that needs to make money) but Andrew stuck by his ethics of only keeping pure cichlid species He has been a solid supporter of the NSWCS for many years and I personally thank him for his input where nothing was too much problem to help the club and any hobbyest that asked the closing date is 31/8/22 and there isn't much left but there a few things that might interest All the best for the future mate and enjoy your recharge 🍺🍺🍺 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG_Sydney Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) I managed to pick up some of Andrews fish over the last few weeks. I met him in person last week as well to have a chat about fish and things in general. It’s sad to see a shop like Labyrinth closing but I am sure he will come back bigger and stronger after his well deserved break. We need people like Andrew in the business to keep moving the hobby forward. Edited August 25, 2022 by MattG_Sydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I'm hoping we will see Andrew back after he has a well deserved break. You'd have to go a long way to find a nicer guy and more passionate cichlid keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucem Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I echo the comments above. Enjoy the break Andrew, look after yourself and hope to see you reopen somewhere down the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
