Nope. Didn't take that many... Here's a teaser..
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Didn't take many photos.
Just only one to show for... But it is not a good picture still.
Someone let me know what species is this, so that I can edit the picture with the name...

So...here's the (partial) report for the trip. I'll update it throughout the day when I have the time.
On that day, we had a few last minute changes to the 'formation', but nothing to worry about as we have plenty of kind drivers with spare seats. After a hearty breakfast (for me at least), we set off from C328 to Qian Hu Fish Farm. It's a good thing that C328 wasn't open yet. Otherwise, I think we won't leave till 10.
Easy drive on a Saturday morning and we are on schedule at Qian Hu.
I believe most of the folks were hanging around the retail area, fish gallery and the spare parts section. A few adventurous ones ventured to the slippery Quarantine area for 'treasures'.
Here's are some fishes from the gallery that I took some snapshots off.
I don't think there are many (or any) arowana hobbyist amongst us that day. Otherwise, this will be of interest to them.
Anyway, there are plenty of other distractions.
More to come...

Nice photos, fun reading through the summaries of the trip which benny took the effort to add in.
Guys, any interesting finds and things worth to get at this stop?

Thanks (Stormhawk) Rashid & his lady friend for their company and sharing his experience in algae management!!!Originally Posted by stormhawk
Haha, sorry fellas, didn't get most of your nicks and names but I'll remember a number of you folks. My thanks goes to yappeyap (Alex) and his wife for the lift in their car, and of course, to Mr Benny for organising the whole thing.
May be next time we do a oversea trip over to our neigbouring - Malaysia? Food, durians, site seeing and not forgetting local farms & aquariums...!
Last of all happy to know you guys & gals
Special thanks goes to Benny for the work, ehmm when the next one coming Hrr! Kekee!

Think the next one we should do the Lorong Halus again...
Or we do LFS hopping... Which will be good for people who are unfamiliar with locations of certain shops...
Thanks, everyones who came and met-up, to see your faces after hiding behind in this forum all this while. This is my 1st time outing and hopefully see you guys another time. Maybe next round make it a whole day outing.
So far met Benny, Valice,(both carrying professional cameras), Simon, wks,
genes, Gummuynut and wife, Memnoch (was buying alots of plants/DW/fishes), eddy planer and family and Rupert (the only ang mo) and joteo.
Hope everyone who bought the bristlenoses at Gan's place are enjoying them... And also the plants...
Next stop was Gan Aquarium Fish Farm.
To be honest, they used to have a lot more variety than they do now. I would say that for some, it must have been a bit of a disappointment.
Obviously, there are still good buys, such as the juvenile bristlenose, tetras etc. Since it's cash only, most folks always need to reference their pockets when shopping there.
What is of interest is that Gan's have actually started an Arowana breeding program and here are the results!!!
So that's why there are so many ponds on the other side of the farm, all locked to prevent outsiders and intruders.
Oh..there was the planted tank in the showroom setup in 2003 by Aquatic Quotient. Obviously now it looks radically different from the old setup.
I think it's time for an overhaul.. Anyone keen to take up the project?
At this point, I realised that we have quite a lot of vehicles as almost all the cars there were from the AQ outing. Those in this picture definitely are from our group and there was a few more on the left side. The numbers have been changed to protect the innocent...
I think in total, we had about 9 cars, including those that joined us later. Right?
More to come.... Teo's Plant Farm!!
Cheers,

Not only cars, even blind hobbyists too busy admiring their fishes on the way to their car sometimes step right into it.

Actually how to get fishes at Gan since most (all?) of the tanks look like they need some thorough cleanup... I can't really look into the tank at the fishes... someone advice me?!?!?!?
You just have to look real hard. Most of the time its just a glimpse, then time for those giant nets to work. The tanks definitely need a cleanup though. Seems like they haven't changed at all since the last time I was at the farm. Its a pity that the selection seems to be the same ol' cardinal, rummynose tetras and balloon rams. Oh yes, not forgetting the smaller quantities of plecos this time round.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
But in those "dirty" tanks, which is full of ketapang leaves and shit, the fishes are real healthy and sturdy...
My batch of harlequins and green neons from the last trip in Dec are still going very strong in my tank now...
And according to Mr Gan, those tanks allowed the fishes to grow much faster too...

My note of appreciation to those that made it possible. First post. Thanks guys! The credit should go to you guys, not me. I just organised the namelist.
