Haha, my office is at Pasir Ris, but I live in Punggol, so made sense for me to go Serangoon North.

soon I will have to go to work at Jurong East! Might be able to visit Clementi Blk 328!

Seaview is situated at No. 2 Seletar West Farmway 2.... its around 10x larger than the neighborhood LFS, definitely worth a visit.

If you are in that area, can also check out another LFS called SunPets which is just down the road, they specialize in aquascaping and shrimp keeping.

C328 is Clementi Florist & Aquarium, situated at Blk 328, Clementi Avenue 2, #01-210... go on a friday night just for the experience, its like trying to navigate through the crowds at annual PC Show.

Also check out the other LFS in the same block, like Polyart (open 24 hours) and Arowana Avenue.

After CNY, 4 days no feeding loss afew baby shrimp and juvenile shrimp. How you guys keep your shrimp well fed during the time you go overseas and house nobody?

And one more thing, i saw some new creature living in the tank... 1st was this black dots with some sticky pad. It was all over the tank. Initially i thought it was snail, but it just stick there and does not move like snail. I removed all as it is a sore eye. (Will take photo again if it return) happened twice already.

The 2nd weird staff is this white looking creature. Everything looks like shrimp, but the tail is longer, fins widely spread (3 fins) and the head is round that look like mantis. Body structure is like shrimp but round. I try to take photo but i lost it now. It is translucent green. Any idea what it could be and should i remove it? It is bigger than my adult shrimps. Im keeping sakura

Ok. Did some thorough research and found the black dots are harmless seed snail or seed shrimp.

The other is damselfly. How it got in there the 1st place? The tank was in the office...

**Urban Aquaria** · 23rd Feb 2015, 14:22

Quite possible a damselfly flew in and laid eggs... or the eggs were already attached to plants that were recently introduced into the tank. Either way its best to remove it as soon as possible, they will hunt the shrimps as part of their diet
