I haven't had the chance to go down and check it out yet, so if anyone wants to go take a look and do a field report, i'm sure it'd be greatly appreciated!

[Simon]

oh, interesting list anyone interested to visit them tomorrow afternoon?

[doubleace]

Guys, are they selling as a pair? I went there once and saw that they put all the same species in one tank.

[ranmasatome]

they put spices in the tanks???? oh no!! how the fish survive?

[Simon]

don't be so mean Justin :P

I supposed they don't have the tanks to separate them, so just put everything into one tank and buyers can select and choose for themselves

[hanz0my]

OMG! Goneski~!!

[trident]

Simon,
What time you want to go? I can join you there.
You want to bring your camera there?
Take some pictures for those who missed it.
Sure got some very interesting breed.

Yixiang,
thanks for the info.

last time i went, they didn't separate the sexes. i believe this is due to the fact that the last shipment was a wild shipment and typically wilds aren't sexed when caught/shipped

Richard: no problem! got good news must share must post lots of photos ok? I barely even have time these days to look after my own fish, let alone to view fish at the other end of Singapore

[Simon]

Richard

sure thing, how about 3pm at Kovan MRT? can bring your camera, but I don't think the photo will come out good :P

[dream]

May I know where is NKS?

Thank you.

[nicktc]

They are located near the entrance of Heartland Mall (near Kovan MRT station) carpark. Exact address I don’t know, but it is beside OCBC Bank.

Simon,
Ok will bring my PNS than. 3 pm Kovan MRT.
Anybody else want to come along?
The nurseries nearby got plenty of pots, can be used as caves.
I think it's block 211. Right at the end of the nurseries.

[Simon]

will sms you if things get held up in my office tomorrow :P

[thanantosis]

yo rishard, i will make it if i can

got to work hai...

and i still got to collect my fish at biotope

[trident]

Hans,
Hope you can make it.
There are several apistos which I have not seen before,
so must go take a look

[thanantosis]

oh me too.... hmmmm if i guess they will not come cheap ya

[genes]

You will have alot of difficulty shooting them. The species will be cramped into a 2ft tank, lighting is dark, water is not clear....that was how they were kept the last time.

[Simon]

I would expect the same condition has how Gan sold his apisto in the past maybe excluding the blackwater effect

[Cacatuoides]

It'll be a hard time for buyers to choose their fish properly under such conditions

Bring your own super power LED torch light.
