Recommended Shops - no sponsoring involved.
This page has no lucrative purpose, I simply mention some shops that evolve around the snail trade, under whatever form - and that I found consider as uncommon. Instead of awarding them a "Golden Ampoule" award, I offer them these comments, to the benefit of websurfers first of all.

All types of cages and aquaria, accessories and all types of food for pets. | My beginings in the aquarium hobby, at this shop you can find numerous species of tropical fishes, the quality is assured and Mister Armando, co-founder of this more than 30 years old shop is really kind, besides being litterate in pet matters. his smile and attention will surely convince you to go to the shop repeatedly. To my knowledge, the only shop in Lisbon where Ampullariidae can be found, (golden variety) ... I bought my first ones there. |

A shop I recommend for the knowledge and dedication of the owners. | Several rare species can be found or obtained there, but regular and unexpensive one are not considered as less important. Good advice and spirit. |

I spent some holidays in Lisbon and found this shop, ... marvelled by the beauties presented (among others Ampullariidae shels !!!) I entered and talked a little to the sympathetic and litterate ladies behind the counter. A Must see, the prices are acceptable and one or two shells will surely decorate your housing, reminding of the excellent holidays you have spent in Portugal. |
