vincent, you cartoon lah, pple say $180 then you want to keep! most pple kena scared away by the price! unless you plan to breed then sell..... hhhmmmm [] chiii chiiiinggggg *cash register* []

allen: you mean you email cheng for reservations and enquiries rather then call redang bay? And as for guppies in fresh water, despite what pple say, I"ve never ever had any probs keeping these so-called-LFS-brackish-water-guppies in freshwater! I really don't think it matters much lah.

HH, I usually make room reservations and return arrangement thru' the main office in KT. I know the island is " hooked up " coz' I usually email Tae Peng ( the resident dive instructor ) for additional diving arrangement eg. Speed boat transfer to Perhentain, Tengah, Pulau Pidong, Pulau Yu etc.
Those " fresh water guppies " purchased from Seng bros. looks plenty good too !, pls update me if u come across any lobang for other species particularly " Diamond " !. Thks []

jseah: where's the punggol place and halus?

Akoh: seng bros guppies are not very "pure" breeds, but very very cheap, like 60 or 80c. Sunset way used to have very nice guppies but sadly now they have gone the louhan way and have very very few guppies now and mostly not very nice and quite old (big). farmart is the only place I"ve been to that sells pure bred guppies, but really too ex unless you want to breed them. If you are like me, just like nice looking guppies, not too particular about purebreeds only particular features like uniformity of colour or fin spread I suggest scouring markets! surprisingly they have guppies with quite nice fin spreads and colours, cheap too!
----------------

Sorry I dunnoe abt the Puggol place but Harlus one is inside the same area where Old Ah Pek used to be.

Selling his gups at 50cts each for those normal ones.

Its just a joke. could it be $1.80 instead of $180 ?(label error ?) I can only afford feeder guppies.

Err .. unless my eyes plays tricks on me. I think they are really that EXPENSIVE. For some strains, a single female cost $50-$90!

Those who went there before will agree with me.

ah, then its true. I will go see see look look and see what's the difference between those and normal guppies.

I remember some of those guppies have very nice but looks like 'broken' tails. Some have very nice long tails/fins, some have very nice colours, etc. Maybe it's their genes in that strain of guppies. But if you are a guppy lover, you may drools once you see them leh...[]

[chris]

The 'broken' tails are probably swallow guppies.

There are 2 types of long fin guppies in Singapore as I had noticed... ribbons and swallows.

A nice swallow will leave every guppy lover drooling. But only a nice swallow female will make me drool... I am a sexist in regard to guppies.

[hoppinghippo]

I think those are expensive cuz they have good breeding characteristics, like giving give linage, pure strains for generations kind of thing. but then again, there're so few shops selling such quality guppies that its hard to say what the mark up is like, maybe can get much much cheaper overseas? or if enuff pple can ask one of the farms, say Gan to bring one shipment in?

allen, i saw some nice guppies at a farm in lor halus. in the same lot as ah pek's, the one next to the marine farm, in the corner. they used to be a luohan farm, but the other day had about 10-over tanks of guppies.

sorry, didn't pay much attention to the prices, but looked really nice to me.

Flor !, I'm totally lost at Lor. Halus ! [] any address ? thks.

[coryfav]

gee, allen, lost ah pek's new namecard lah...

ok, from pasir ris drive 12, turn into drive 1.

end of the road, turn right into pasir ris farmway. you'll actually see farms (dogs & fish) on both sides already.

end of road, turn left, ah pek's farm is on the right just before you see a road (pasir ris coast industrial park 1) turning right.

if you "overshoot" and go into pasir ris coast industrial park 1, turn right again and go into Tropical Fish Int' - worth a visit.

anyway, ah pek's number is 6583 9339. maybe you can call and check the lot number.

I did a " Check-out " at the Farm-Mart LFS that sells those exotic guppies and I must say, they're really really beli chio ! . Can not tahan lah ! so bought some Japan Ocean Blue for my planted tank ! [].
Oso did a check out at Jalan Kayu and Jalan Halus. Jalan Kayu - nothing ! zero guppies ! but plenty of LH, Jalan Halus ( thks flor! for the direction and address ) - Tropical got some nice species but price a bit steep lah !, Kirin oso have some, price quite reasonable ! managed to pick up some neon blue ! Well just a short update on my shopping over the weekend ! [] Cheers !
