Fish Shop or Farm

yes, directly opposite, u should see some wooden fences. The entrance is on the right, Once in, turn right... The sign should say something about Water works..

Okay, I will make a visit these 2 days and take some digital photos for the benefit of those who may plan a visit someday! Thanks..

hi CKM,

u may want to consider removing the carbon stuff after your tank stabilise; carbon is good in removing impurities - thus resulting in crystal clear water, but also equally effective in removing all the nutrient that u dose - may prolong your plant stabilising period;

hi star-flog,

there is a row of shops along the wooden fence, teo's shop is at the middle, and it does not attract much attention from the outside; right at the end is a big koi shop;

one unique thing to confirm that u have reach teo shop - a strong chicken/duck poo poo smell; very very strong - can smell it even if u are inside your air-con car;

If i am not wrong, look out for a COW sign.

Yes, I have heard of Teo's, but have never been there... LCK is a bit out of the way for me.

I will try to visit there one of these days. Anyway thanks for the reply. Hope to hear more recommendation...

How about the one in Lor Halus. There is another one in Jalan Kayu.....Seletar Farmway...I think. The one in Seletar, you have to pre-order and they will bring in from their farm in Malaysia.

I've been to Lor Halus, they've a lot plants and you can choose right from the planting pool and unfortunately do not carry Java Moss, Taiwan Moss or Xmas moss. Certainly worth the visit. As for the one in Seletar, where is their location?

I remembered that there was a photo guide that showed how to go Teo in AQ. But I think it is inaccessible now.

Yes, that right that this forum used to have a section on LFS and special feature reports on some fish farm and Teo is one of them, if not mistaken. By the way, what happen to those feature articles now are gone?

[lorba]

hi, thanks for pointing out. These features will be gradually put in place as the upgrading is still ongoing.

The one in Seletar is not like those farms you would imagine. Their main operation is packing. So, you won't see plots of plants for you to pick. Here's their site.

I think u can consider 5L CO2 + solenoid. It can last you long enough to get refill.

I bought last week at NA for SGD 185. If you give up hobby can trade in the CO2 tank for $60 ....

If you scare you won't keep this hobby for long than get a 2nd 2L tank + manul regulator as starting than upgrade later. It can last you almost 6 months for 2ft tank. ** I have a empty 2L CO2 tank + manual regulator wanna sale for $45, if you keen pls let me know. thks!

My interest for his hobby is building up So defintely I wouldn't be giving it up. Might be getting the CO2 tank form you as well since I have another empty 2ft tank lying aroundafter I let go my arowana. Maybe use that to grow more "chim" plants after gaining more experience...

But I thought dosing of nutrients is like say after a month or so?

[lorba]

that is a common school of though where people think its safer. You can dose as per normal even for a new tank, but make sure its heavily planted and add in more nutrients hungry floating plants, with reduced lighting period.

Is this farm near the seaview? So far that the only farm that I visited as the rest look like they are not open for the public....

[tango]

But I thought dosing of nutrients is like say after a month or so?

mmm, I dose immediately, and since I simply follow the instruction on the liquid fertiliser packaging (Tetra Floride), and it recommend extensive dosage on new tank (almost 4 to 6 times of normal dosage) for the first month or so upon plant introduction;

I have no fishes for the first 6 month of my tank setup; only malayan and yamato + 1 puffer

Star flog,
Your digital photo would be most helpful... Teo's aquarium is about the only aquarium I have not yet been to...this afternoon drive up, drive down and up and down.AND up and down...check map, check gps call police......and still cannot find it. Didn't smell any duck poo smell...?? All I can say is....why can't he put up a damn sign!? Guess ticking on my checklist of lfs' been-there places...for Teo will have to wait.

[curahee]

Hi i have the name card of Teo n it is stated from the name card, enter by Lane 6C even though it is located at lane 9. As enter by lane 6C is more straight forward... U can give teo Thye Choon a call, 67937132. he is willing to assist u. Once he even willingly to delay the closing time n wait for me as i wanna make some last min purchase.. Really gd service.

[rocketshrimp]

Thanks Curahee...boy, his phone bill must be quite high.

[rocketshrimp]

Found it...I think the clearest instructions was
1. junction of lane 8 and lane 6C.
2. From there, look for a sign that says 50.
3. Go in and immediately turn right.

I marked the place immediately...(went toilet)

Interesting place. See lots of "They who shall not be named" plants there. (cos, I don't know)

However, left empty handed...nothing caught my fancy

Saw the tank designed by Green Chapter....nice.

Sometimes you have to know what you are looking for..cos you probably wont know which part of the farm they are growing what.. if you have a list they will be more than glad to get all or as much of the list for you.. They have a lot..
