After reading this post, I plan to go some of the LFS on my evening cycling. Haiz.. to my disappointment, PetShopBoys.Aqua @ blk 3 St George & Fun Fish Aq @ 450 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 has closed down. There are quite a number of LFS @ Serangoon North pet street, blk 151 & 154. Pet Mart, Fwu Hae pet shop, Rainbow and a few more. Haiz reach there @ 8pm+ and LFS either closed or closing so didn't go in take a look.
Also TPY still has 3 LFS:
A G Pets Toa Payoh(https://plus.google.com/106318579979877102401/about) Got sell frozen fish food.
Abadi 66 Aquarium(https://plus.google.com/100706861230...ut?gl=sg&hl=en) Got sell bags of RCS, CRS, endlers (depends if got stock or not as sometimes I only see bags of RCS only)

XD Pasir Ris got many LFS inside aquarium farms. Can't rmb all liao. Got some specialize in gold fish, betta, marine, feeder fish...
Ya, LFS can't make much unless teamed with a dog grooming service (Dog Beauty Salon), etc.Originally Posted by Bern C
Either that or if one caters to premium classy clients, like Green Ch.
It's quite hard to survive for ordinary small LFS, as I have seen so many set up and then close down over the years.
Every time a LFS closes, I feel very sad, as I come alive whenever I see a LFS.
LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
Which LFS specialises in a lot of goldfish? I seldom go around so is quite ignorant in this respect. I am fixed into goldfish for life.Pasir ris

Yeah... agree. Last time need to buy aquarium stuffs hor just go around neighborhood can liao. There were like 2-4 LFS around each neighborhood but now =____=Ya, LFS can't make much unless teamed with a dog grooming service (Dog Beauty Salon), etc.

I think part of the reason why more and more LFS close down is due to limited stocks in neighborhood LFS and people don't mind traveling to farms for one stop shopping. I also prefer to travel slightly further to seaview to shop equipments and live stocks, y618 & otf for live stocks and boon. XD If there are more LFS with large variety of live stocks and equipments then I won't be traveling further.I am kinda cheap, don't like to go premium classy LFS. XD I prefer those farms or oldie aquarium as value is my top priority.
Yeah... really kinda sad... When I was a kid, one of my favorite playground is market LFS. I think sooner or later, market LFS will go extinct.
XD I only have vague memory as I went to explore the whole pasir ris farmway a month+ ago. It's along farmway3. I think is Aquarium Iwarna farm. On the right side near the main entrance. There is a sign goldfish and there's a big bird cage. I saw lots of big gold fish, some above $100. Then mainland tropica fish farm @ farmway 1 also mainly goldfish but I dunno what kind of goldfish as I don't have knowledge in goldfish.Which LFS specialises in a lot of goldfish? I seldom go around so is quite ignorant in this respect. I am fixed into goldfish for life.

I saw this news recently then when I read this I was like haiz...
"There were about 300 licensed aquarium shops in 2002, at the height of the craze over Luohan or Flower Horn Fish, said to bring good luck to its owners.
But the latest figures from the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore show there were just 120 licensed aquarium shops at the start of the year, down from 140 in 2012."

Updated from posts above and also from AVA's list of Graded Petshops. Need checking as I think the AVA list may up be up to date. Found some still listed but long gone.

Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
Its before Iwarna, the goldfish shop is after you turn right from the main road, the 2nd entrance on your right. Located beside 2 marine lfs.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
This is a good initiative!
I do notice the trend nowadays is steering towards less "neighborhood" small LFS (those that sell common fishes and cheap equipment) and more "higher end" larger LFS (ie. those that specialize in aquascaping, plants, unique fishes/shrimps etc). The cost of doing business locally keep increasing, so it looks like more and more shops need to deal in higher margin livestock and equipment to sustain their operations.
Personally, i don't really fancy visiting many small LFS that don't stock all the livestock and equipment i want, then end up having to travel around the island trying to shop for stuff... i'd rather there are a few good and large LFS that stock everything i need, so i can just visit one place and buy everything, save time and travel cost.

Oh... I think I start to recall.... There are marine LFS and the place kinda messy than Iwarna. Inner, there's a gate to a pond. But I thought the goldfish shop is go in the farm main entrance then turn right?? For Iwarna, it's rows or LFS, with marine LFS, feeder fish LFS, tropical fish LFS with shrimps. @_@ That day I in out all the farms till I dunno which farm is which farm.
Yeah.. it's still there.. XD It is as old or older than NA. I recall there used to be 1 more LFS beside a g pets right? Btw Do you know the LFS along jalan besar road, opp Sim Lim tower?? It's no longer there right??
Shifu UA is right.This is a good initiative!

Perhaps in future, it may be good to have an "Aquatic Mall" somewhere centrally located.
It could be an aquatic version of Funan Centre or Sim Lim Square where many companies of the same trade come under one roof.
Do you mean the small LFS in one of the side roads there but not on the main road, like Upper Weld Road or something lie that?'
Haven't been there for quite a long time. Usually, whenever I go to Sim Lim Tower I will go to that LFS.
The one on the main road one I never go before.. I think I have some vague memory that I used to see LFS there when I was at Mcd. The oldie LFS right beside NA also long gone and become motorcycle shop liao. @_@ So much changes for the past 10years.
Yeah... should be that one. If I am not wrong it's not very inside of the side road. You can see it from the main road. <<= XD It's base on my memory which I saw that LFS number of years back. I never went there before but decided to go there take a look few months back as I buying some hardware around that area. But I can't find any LFS. =(
Ya, there is only one LFS near the road junction there, near opposite Sim Lim Tower.
Last time also got one LFS nearer to Mustafa side next to Berseh food centre, which is inside an airconned building.
But I think no more already as I can't find it again.
Small LFS business is not good, that's why for many, it's bo hua to continue.
Oh... is it the one at Jln Besar plaza and facing kitchener road?? I no longer see it couple of years back.
Yeah.. LFS keep closing down.. Lesser people are into fish keeping now.
