    Saw one of its relatives in Seletar Farmway 2 today.

    Looks alot more like G. surinamencis rather than G. altifrons. All around 4inch long. Price is around $3 each. If interested, I can bring you there on my bike

    Mighty generous of you Ofilter! May I know where did you see it? Sea View Aquarium?

    Saw it in some 'farm' don't know if they have a name or not (they do imports and exports, but they do entertain walk-ins). Its beside a specialised shop selling discus ("singapore breeder channel" I suppose). No its not Sea View, its like across the juntion of Sea View. within the premises of " Atlantis"

    If you want I can meet you on weekends and bring you to the place, but you got to meet me at either Yio Chu Kang MRT or Sengkang MRT(pls bear in mind , i will ferry u on a small 125cc m'sian type motorbike). If you are driving I can give you directions, its not diffcult to go there.

    Pls beware~ the water quality of the 'farm' dun seem tat good, everything there looks old, the glass of their tanks looks so frosted.
