Aquarium Münster – Fish like us

Ornamental fish and the name Pahlsmeier and Aquarium Münster have been connected inseperably for decades.

Everything began with an ornamental fish breeding concern founded by Adolf Pahlsmeier Snr. in 1926, which was soon to achieve international recognition with the exportation of Angel fish to America by sea freight. For this special purpose a fish keeping installation was established on the ocean vessel “Bremen”.

Under the management of Adolf Pahlsmeier jr. the company developed further to an ornamental fish wholesaler. Import and Export were now in the foreground. With the pioneering invention of FAUNAMOR, the first remedy against Ichthyophthirius (white spot disease), the business concept was changed in 1968. The range of high quality aquatic products was extended on a continual basis and is today the most important branch. Milestones during this period were the sole distribution of Furanace-P (later: aquafuran) and the developement of the patented dosing system of FURAMOR-P. Other innovations are the AQUA-CLIPPER, different underwater glues and AQUAVITAL BACTOSPRINT, the first 2-components-product with immobilized microorganisms that are activated immediately before use.

In recent years the company developed into a service provider for contract production and services to meet legal regulations and pharmaceutical standards.

Today the company is managed by the brothers Dirk Pahlsmeier and Mark Pahlsmeier. Aquarium Münster partners are found in all important markets all over the world.

Research, development, production and commitment

Developing effective remedies and care products requires scientific creativity and a clear aim. Research in one’s own laboratories allows the internationally recognised quality standards to be met.

Only if all parameters of research, developement and production are synchronized to each other, a product will be released for the markets. Each batch is analysed and extensively tested before it will be released to sale.

The publications of the Aquarium Münster research department are not only useful when using the product but also as an advisory for aquarists and garden pond owners. In case of further questions and problems, we will be happy to give scientifical advice.

“We finalized the first part of the experiment comparing 4 different foods. DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD is the one that gives the best results considering sperm quality. The fishes were analyzed in the day 0 and they were all with no viable sperm cells. After 25 days of DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD the fishes presented 90 – 100 % of active sperm cells. The other brands were not so good.
Another difference, as we have only few DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD left, we are giving 0.5 % of the fish weight per day, while the other brands up to 2 %. Even in lower quantities DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD presented better results!”

“I searched the internet for a certain medicine for the treatment of an acute disease of my discus. Unfortunately, the particular medicine was no longer authorized in Europe. I ordered and used the alternative product recommended by Aquarium Münster and was able to limit the losses of my fish. These are on the way to convalescence. I was surprised by the very fast, competent and legally compliant answer; and this during Christmas holidays.”

“Aquarium Münster was recommended to us by an aquatic specialist shop. One of our discus had a white region below the fins. Aquarium Münster recommended a medication, which we have organised and applied. After the treatment of the whole aquarium, all fish are doing very well, which lasts until today.

We were surprised by the fast feedback.

We recommend Aquarium Münster to friends and hobbyists who have an aquarium in case they have problems or questions. We were really very happy and satisfied that we were able to save our fish with the treatment (since we probably took over a sick aquarium).”

“I met Aquarium Münster more than 20 yeas ago in a shop in Madrid. It was a medicine, ODIMOR. The great effectiveness of the medicines of Aquarium Münster have always helped me when I needed them. I like the human treatment, close and friendly in comparison to other brands, who lost the humility sometimes.
The extensive line of specific and very effective medicines – over the years DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD and of course the AQUA-CLIPPER – is surprising.
I recommend Aquarium Münster to aquarists who appreciate the high quality, ‘Made in Germany’ that Aquarium Münster stands for.”
