So i'm just back from a couple of weeks overseas. Yep, had an amazing time, thanks for asking
I couldn't resist dropping in to some aquarium shops on my travels and knew you guys would enjoy seeing what's out there so here's some pics.
Before i left i took the opportunity to ask shaiful (one of our Singaporean members) if they had any recommendations so thanks for your help. I only managed to get to one of the shops you mentioned.
My appologies for the at times very poor quality photography. Lighting was extremely difficult to contend with.
Compared to prices here in Aus. it was painful to see how cheaply things could be bought elsewhere let alone all the amazing fish that we simply can't get here.
All prices are in Singapore dollars so $10sgd = roughly $7.70aud.
The shop:
Nice planted tank running high tech CO2 and a chiller:
Plants:
These bags $1.50 AUD:
Really nice big bit of driftwood with well established ferns and mosses, 15 bucks (they are 20l buckets next to them):
Really nice Discus for $38:
Clown knives, $4:
4 inch Pleco's.......wait for it.......$2.50:
Plenty of Arowanas:
Nice gar, $4:
For those of you who like Bettas, $4:
Cute puffer (little ones are only .70c, hehe, so cute):
Yellow fined Chalceus $3:
I know alot of the stuff isn't exactly rare or anything but the prices just blew me away.
Sadly no L's
Awesome shop otherwise with all the good gear (Eheim, Seachem, Hikari etc). The owner and staff are great and very acommodating if a little camera shy, haha! I couldn't resist buying a few things even though my bag was already overweight. If you ever head that way be sure to drop in: POLYART AQUARIUM, Blk 328, Clementi Ave 2.
Didn't realise how long this was going to take but give me a week or 2 and i will post some pics from Korea
Hope you all enjoy
