    "wife"?

    For me its C328 and Y618.Both carries qiute a comprehensive range of products and price wise is reasonable if not relatively cheaper.

    I use the word comprehensive cos scare later typo again...Just kidding.

    Agree that Seaview's prices cannot be matched elsewhere. they give a further 10% - 15% discount on top of the low prices on the shelves.

    The problem i had with seaview though is that their plants don't go fast enough and they also don't bother to take the plants out of the plastic so a lot of them are dried....or half dead.....but the prices are good.

    Seaview for their equipments and maintaneous products (cheapest so far i can find)
    Colourful for their shrimps and plants. (Shrimps are the cheapest so far but plants a bit ex)

    Anybody can recommend a cheap and good LFS in the East that sell good grade CRS? I live in the pasir ris, quite inconvential to go down to Thomson or C328 for CRS. Understand that Pasir ris farmway there got some supplier selling CRS but just normal grade only.

    Re: Your favourite local fish shop and why?

    Agree that Seaview has a wide selection of plants. But cannot tell if all the plants that they sell are aquatic plants. I just went this morning, saw packets of green fittonia packed in plastic bags filled with water hanging on the racks.

    Is fittonia an aquatic plant? I dont think so right?

    The previous time I also bought a lucky bamboo (dracaenas) only to realise here that it is not an aquatic plant. zzz. Waste of $$.

    Re: Your favourite local fish shop and why?

    I have to agree that Seaview is my favourite LFS now after having been to quite many LFS and comparing the fishes, accessories, plants standard.
    It is about 25-30 mins public transport travelling time for me, and it is the supermarket concept that I enjoy my visit to there. They don't have that many exotic fishes if that is what you want, but still enough variety to satisfy most of us. Their prices are reasonable, and still give a last-minute surprise discount of 10-15% when you are paying.

    I went there again yesterday and sure enough, met some fellow forumer there, like Ben55 (although he don't recognise me) and some others that I saw the faces at the Iwagumi and Photography workshop. Bought some fishes and accessories and went home a satisfied man.
