Labeo Aquarium Co at 164 Tampines St 12 is no LFS, saw only empty fish tanks inside, same for Zen Blue Marine Aquarium Trading at 51 Circuit Road, looks like a provision shop, same for Eng Ban Hock Tropical Fish & Birds at 541 Jurong West Ave 1, seems to be selling joss paper/stick and stuff, and its unit number has changed from the one listed on map.

dunno if admin/mod should remove these shops, personally, i do not consider them as LFSes cos not a single live fish inside...

Yeah Bern,

I once searched up and down for the aquarium at Roxy Katong too. And I remember there was also another one at Tanjong Katong Road opposite the post office.
So sian that many LFS are no more. I always like LFS and bird shops.

By the way, do you know whether Pet Safari at Simei is still there?

At Roxy Square, it's actually Kelson Betta - specializing in Betta - they don't sell very much else there.

There's one at the basement facing the outdoor area at Katong Shopping Centre - the place where LAN gaming used to be very popular. Now it's full of agencies for domestic workers. The selection at the aquarium here is okay. Usually out of stock for the more popular stuff. If all else fails, at least the food court has decent chicken rice and the czechar place (Miki's) sells some good food.

XD I only being to vivo & nex branch. Not sure about Simei. Yeah =( Once flooding the whole neighborhood and vanished one by one.

Roxy Kelson betta shop kinda hard to find.. Followed my friend there last year but can't find the unit number then asked somebody then realized there's another block/side where need to go up and down some flight of stairs to reach there. Then realized they are not opened yet. @_@

I remember(childhood memory) TPY central blk190 used to have a pet shop beside the ArtnCraft shop.. They used to sell weird weird stuff, like chick & duckling. And... I have memory of them selling miniature pig or piglets. XD Anyone still remember this pet shop?? The Artncraft shop also gone long ago liao.

I did see Kelson Betta at the upstairs shopping mall, but went a few rounds searching for the other aquarium, which I undertsand was supposed to be at the ground or basement level.
Must go to Katong Shopping Center again, thence to Marine Parade. Hopefully to find some outstanding fish.

Yes. kudos to Aquatic Quotient Forum's Vinz .
This feature is extremely desirable. Good work, mate.

Not just me. Quite a few other AQ moderators/members helped to do the first version of it years ago. It kinda got neglected as people come and go. Decided to revive it after someone linked to it in one of the Facebook groups.

cumzilla, If you do go down to the Serangoon area, check on D P S Fashion Enterprise. For some reason, it is in AVA's list of rated aquarium shops.

[vinz]

While trying to find the name of Hai Chuan Aquarium, came across the website for Hong Tai Aquarium Products which is the manufacturer for RidAll brand. Very old local brand that I remember my father was using in the 70s and 80s.

The website looks very very old, but has a list of LFSes that supposedly sells their products. Probably outdated, but here it is, in case anyone is interested: http://www.hongtai.com.sg/frames/local.html

Hi vinz, appreciate your latest update of the map. It actually nicer with the fish marker compared to those different colour markers. But you miss out on removing hougang aquarium and pet centre.

confirmed closed down already.

Actually visited woodlands, bukit panjang and bukit batok on sunday, but seeing that mayb too many info. for you to update, so have not posted yet. Will do so later tonight.

Used to stay at serangoon and visited before, so can confirm its a LFS share with a clothing store if i am not wrong, but i long time never been there, dunno if still around.

Went to Chinatown Complex, passed by Blk 4 Sago Lane and saw a aquarium & pet shop on 2nd floor. I felt nostalgic and decided to go up to take a look. XD Some vague flashbacks came into my mind and I realized that I had been to this pet shop when I was a kids. Surprised it's still there. A oldie LFS that has some birds and rabbit. 1/2 of the shop is freshwater section while the other 1/2 is marine. I'm amazed by a marine tank as I didn't know marine tank can be as low tech. The setup is so simple, HOF + UGF + lights. Very interesting LFS, Wong Loy Kee Aquarium Store.

Whenever I go to Chinatown, I will be sure to pop in at this LFS.
But do note that they open quite late (about 2pm) when I visited, probably because they also close late.
This is a nice LFS. I like the tank in front with many species of Tetras which are mature and big.

This LGS may be a bit hard to find for new hobbyists. If coming via New Bridge Road, just go up the Food Center walk to the far end of it, where you will see the LFS at the next building. If coming via South Bridge Road, it is at the building near to the big Buddhist Temple. As you walk pass the temple, the LFS is in the block on the left of the entrance to the Shopping Centre/Market/Food center.

I remember there's an interesting LFS opposite Centrepoint called Sabaab Centre. It was a very long LFS extending deep into an alley (like the old Change Alley).
To this day I have yet to meet anyone who remembers that LFS. Still looking.

Also interesting was the "Macho Ranchus" shop inside Centrepoint.
