Post updates for LFS Map here

[cumzilla]

btw, what does the different colours maker on the map means?

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.

Like they say, "Big fish eat small fish"... It's the law of the oceon.

Used to be by zone (East, West, North, etc) but I have not followed that in the current update.

ok, just now went for a walk the ground at AMK and bishan-toa payoh GRCs , all the LFSes on google map still in existence except for those i did not visit, namely JZX (dun have the species i want), AMB aquaPet Hub (suspect is petshop) and N30 (tank maker). Aquapet at Thomson Plaza is not a LFS, just selling pet stuffs. 127 Lor 1 Toa Payoh is a LFS inside hawker centre. (see attached pic for name and unit no.)

I would be happy to know all the LFSs in Bishan, Balestier and Thomson area.
So far I know only one in Bishan (Blk 284 #01-54), and NA in Thomson. It's a pity Green Sea in Balestier was closed some time ago.

XD I think I know about Green Sea. It's big and very oldie LFS opp. Balestier Plaza right? Closed down like around 10-15years ago? Even the famous birds shop closed down too.

Yeah.. So far blk 284 is the only LFS I visited in bishan. XD Keen to know others LFS in Bishan too.


BTW, there's 1 more LFS @ Blk 328 Clement which not updated on the map. XD Sorry, I didn't look at the signboard. Total 4 LFS there. Aro Ave & polyard side by side. Then C328 @ further end and the LFS I talking about is at the other end before polyart and Aro Ave. Rare to see so 4 LFS @ one blk now.

The "4th" one at C328 should be Arowana Avenue's second shop. Unless there's a newer one since I visited the block about 1 or 2 moths ago.

Thanks for all the updates. Will update the map ASAP.

No problem.. XD It's a nice place to visit and can compare price and find some good buy. Bought some livestock from Aro Ave.

Ok. If you saw only 4 physical shops, then its Arowana Avenue. Maybe I should list them twice in the map or add a remark about the second shop.

yes, thats AA's 2nd shop, selling the more exotic species like rays and arrowanas.

Actually, quite disappointed with my trip yesterday. 2 in TPY were closed when i was there, the others are all smallish except for mayb long cheng at amk and striker's at thomson.

Will 'attack' the west side this week.

We have Bishan Aquarium at blk 279... according to their Facebook page. Have they moved to blk 284? Or are there 2 LFS in Bishan?

According to Google:

• Hup Sheng Aquarium Flower Shop, 152 Bishan St 11, S570152
• Bishan Florist Aquarium Centre, 152 Bishan St 11, #01-217, S570152
• Bishan Pet Junction 503 Bishan Street 11, S570503

Anyone can verify?

There is only one LFS at that location. Blk 279 is the correct block.
But if you go to Blk 284, it is not a problem because the shop is within the same shopping cluster, which are all conveniently linked.
Just walk into the Blk 284 shopping area and look for the LFS, which is near the food centre and NTUC Fairprice.
Maybe it is listed as Blk 284 because it is prominent from the main road, whereas Blk 279 is harder to find.
