SwissFish 2026
THE aquatic expo in Switzerland!
SwissFish is taking place for the second time with a unique concept.
The SwissFish aquarium trade fair is a multifaceted trade and experience fair covering the world of aquariums, ornamental fish, aquatic plants and indoor plants. It combines exhibition, sales, specialist information and a marketplace and is aimed at beginners, advanced hobbyists and families.
A particular crowd-puller is the international fighting fish exhibition "Zurich Betta Show", which is also this year's Area 2 IBC Convention, Europe's most important IBC event of the year!
Several hundred fighting fish from all over the world in a wide variety of colors and shapes are presented, evaluated and awarded prizes by expert judges. A large number of them will be available for sale, and winning fish can be purchased at auction on Saturday afternoon!
There will be special collectors' classes and art classes on the subject of fighting fish for everyone to take part in.
Aquarium clubs from all over Switzerland will be presenting themselves in the Club Village. Visitors will be able to gain an insight into the work of the clubs and purchase offspring directly from dedicated local breeders.
The Brand Village offers companies, pet stores and brands from the aquarium industry a platform to present products and innovations and offer them on site.
Various exciting presentations and workshops on the topics of aquaristics, aquascaping, shrimp, live food breeding, water values and much more will take place on both days.
The huge raffle with around 1,000 prizes, in which every ticket wins, is another highlight.
Catering will be provided by the Landmetzgerei Odermatt.
Admission is free of charge.
The Gemeindesaal Zollikon is located directly on the outskirts of Zurich and is easily accessible by public transport. The "Dorfplatz Parkgarage" parking garage has blue zone spaces as well as inexpensive parking spaces for several hours.
