    Clementi Avenue 2 Blk 328. Considered the most 'happening' LFS in the west. Check the LFS directory. Saturdays are super packed, closed on Sundays. Or if you are heading north, Yishun ring road Blk 618.

    I discovered those small clams in lower seletar reservoir, there are literally hundreds of them per square meter at low water line. I have no idea how they got there, they weren't there 10years ago.

    wow! but too bad reservoir cant go there to collect maybe somebody must have threw them there, these Asian fresh water clams is kinda a double edge sword, in the US its a pest due to good breeding and less predator, they clog up sewers and water ways but if under control they can be good filters of water.

    I see people fishing there, even watersports. I collected some specimens, looks the same kind as those sold at the lfs, although i am no expert. There is also another freshwater clam but much larger, those I have seen those 10yrs ago. If you are coming to Singapore, do give me a call, I will show you where it is. The mts and trapdoor snails in the reservoir looks very different as well.

    I doubt there is a fine, or if there is that it is enforced. Just 10 mins from my house, I can get some some for you if you "too scared". Do msg me if you are coming to Singapore, I constantly log on.
