Aquashella Chicago 2026 Walkthrough | Freshwater
Aquashella Chicago 2026 had a ton to see on the freshwater side, from rare plecos, discus, angelfish, corydoras, shrimp, and axolotls to planted tanks, aquascaping supplies, hardscape, botanicals, and plenty of gear. We made our way through the show floor to see what vendors brought out and what stood out along the way.
Some of the highlights included a live aquascaping contest, unusual freshwater fish like rays, puffers, and tiger morays, massive piles of driftwood, titanium aquascaping tools, CO2 setups, micro tanks, and more shrimp than we could count. If you couldn’t make it to Aquashella Chicago in person, come walk the freshwater side of the show with BRSfresh and see what caught our eye.
