C328 does have galaxy celestial danio, but didn't see any of the other 2 species
Hey guys,
Anyone seen any LSF selling Pseudomugil Furcatus, P. Gertrudae, and Danio Margaritatus (celestial pearl danio/galaxy rasbora)? I am thinking about going on a trip today and get the fish for my tank.
Thank you in advance!

Yup, Aquabid is his best bet alright.
Carcharodon (not charcaradon), have you tried your local aquarist society? There's always an aquarist society in nearly every state in the continental USA. There's a directory in TFH magazine. You ought to be able to find someone with the fishes you want via those ads.

Hey bros,
I am from the US. But I live in Singapore now...haha.
I was at C328 yesterday. Did not see any. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for all of that have replied so far. Much appreciated!
Yeah....I messed up the name on the first time when I register for an email account so I've been using the incorrect spelling ever since...haha.
And I made a mistake of forgetting to type an extra "o" for megalodon when I registered for this site...oh well.
Hi bro,
You can get them all at Seaview.
Cool! Thank you Stradic.
Looks like I might have to take a trip to Seaview for one-stop shopping.
You should have said you were in Singapore. Beats the guesswork.
P. furcatus is not commonly seen, and P. gertrudae are usually sold as juveniles. You can get CPD at C328 in bags of 30 or 50 pieces for around $20-30 I think. I bought a bag recently and they're all doing great in my tank.

I saw furcatus at OTF when i went there 2 weeks ago, as for gertrudae, i havent seen it anywhere lately, just sold off mine.
Bros,
Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.
I am going to forego the idea of keep pseudomugil for the time being. It will be a project for next tank - LOL.
My current tank is simply too small to accommodate all of them.
I think I am going to stick with either 6 CPD or 6 Boraras Brigittae. Or maybe 3 of each.
@Stormhawk - I went to C328 last wknd but I did not see any CPD. Maybe I was not looking hard enough. Haha...
@Lucas - I love P. Furcatus. But it'll get too big for the tank should I decide to add the other fish.
I assume I can find BB at C328?
Thanks again!
Bro charcaradon megalomania,
The CPD are in the the small tank on the fighting fish rack near the counter.
I was there last sat.
CPD in bags of 30-50 piece at the tanks to the right, in the blue fiberglass pond thing. Look closely they're always in those bags. Make sure you pick a bag with healthy specimens. No skinnies or sunken bellies.

Gents,
Thank you for the CPD coordinates at C328. Looks like I will head out there again this wknd.
1) Do they sell CPD by smaller quantities or do they sell by the whole lot?
2) Can I find B. Brigittae and WonderGro at C328 per chance?
I must confess that I am not really used to the LFS here - It is always cramped, lots of mis-labeling, and hard to find any help since they seem to be short-staffed during the peak times (wknd/evenings).
Again, thanks a bunch! You guys rock!
If you want the CPD in smaller numbers, you have to net them from the puny tank at the betta rack. Just FYI, those in the tank may not be healthy. I've seen them in varying degrees of emaciation. The ones in the bags are usually in good shape if they didn't stay in there for too long.
They do stock Boraras brigittae, but on an irregular basis. Sometimes it's B. urophthalmoides or B. maculata. I have no idea for WonderGro's availability there, though GC stocks the Lush line of products. However, C328 has other fert liquids available. If not there you can always try at Polyart.
Where local LFS are concerned, you have to get used to the cramped conditions. Space is a premium here, even in stores. As for finding help, most of the time you must find the shop lady who runs C328. She's usually the one that other customers look to for answers or help in finding some products.

Think they are stocking maculata, saw a few bags in the blue basin near to the water reservoir.
Had purchased the loose CPD from c328 before, normally having sunken belly, but luckily they survive in my tank.
Guys,
Again, thanks for the info.
I am going to get WonderGro at NA like Tiintinn suggested at another thread.
@Stormhawk - My hobby tank is way to small to even thinking about getting a lot of 30 or 50 fish. Looks like loose fish tank it is and I'll have to deal w/ the mortality rate.
@TiinTinn - What did you feed your CPD in the beginning? A variety of mix between flakes and live food? Or dried larvae?
Thanks guys for your help! Really appreciated.
i just fed them with tetra bits fish food, they dont seem to be fussy eaters. Occasionally will drop in some frozen bloodworm ")
Space is at a premium here in singapore. Not many spacious LFS here. Polyart which is just a few doors away from C328 is a little more spacious. Also just 5 mins walk away to Block 354 where Green Chapter is located, you will see a spacious LFS with aircon and well labelled tanks. You should check it out. But for variety you cant really beat C328. Just expect the space limitations though.
@TiinTinn - Thanks for the tidbits bro. I am going to head down to C328, GC, and Seaview to check out it this weekend.
@Oliverpool - I will check out GC this wknd as you have suggested. BTW, is there no Man U fan on this forum at all? LOL...
Again, you guys, Stormhawk, Lucas, and Stradic for the wonderful suggestions. They are really helpful and insightful.
