Where is Ben's aquarium?
Yesterday afternoon went over to Ben's aquarium and it's finally open for business!! They were filling up the tanks with fishes when i was there.
The shop is very big with a large variety of fishes and the accessories are much more. Hopefully he'll stock up on more varieties of aquarium accessories. It's definately going to be my one stop shop for all if not most of my aquarium needs!!
Where is Ben's aquarium?
wat time did u go? what nice fish are there?
Cheers,
Andrew
I'm refering to tiong bahru Ben. He has shifted to 71 Seng Poh Road #01-39. It's near the former tiong bahru hawker centre : along the 7-eleven stretch of shops. I went there at 3pm. As for the fishes.... bro you got to go check it out yourself cos there's too many to name!! The number of tanks/varieties of fishes can rival C328.
328 actually not many variety leh. the old bens already i thnk can beat it.
think I will go pay him a visit today.
Cheers,
Andrew
Would like to go, but, dont know how to go. is it near tiong bahru mrt station?
I counted 150 small tanks alone.
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

small tanks = small fish = me happy

Before he started his business at tiong bahru i was already visiting the two shops there. Later the auntie gave up the shop to this guy. It was really refreshing to see one of the shops with so many varieties and later rearer/not so common species of fishes. But the attitude of that guy at that shop sucks!! C-Bay-How-Lian!!
When Ben opened his shop there, the varieties of fishes is comparable to the other one and also his very friendly personality soon made me a regular customer there. I've followed him from tiong bahru to beo cresent and now back to tiong bahru. It's really nice to see Ben coming this far in his business!!

2)wat nice fish are there: u name it, he most prob will have it.....damn lot of tanks, who say got 150, the shop assistant claim that there are 160++ ....a lot of different species of tetras, less commonly found in LFS... danios, rasboras, a lot..i see till blur, so nv bother to remember....for tetras collector, that will be a 1 stop LFS for u......SWEE boh!
3)as to how to go...hmm...i went from orchard area...from the bus stop near Ben Aquarium..i took 64 i think, back to tiong barus mrt station...perhaps u can log in to www.streetdirectory.com.sg to find out more...
really a nice shop, lots of varieties of fishes, big and spacious, i really hate those LFS where u gotta backside rub backside when u trying to catch ur fishes...
