    Hi all,

    Caught with the pencil fish bug lately, and I've been trying to find them here, but most of the time, they are not so commonly found, at least for those LFS that I've visited.

    I've bought some red corals and the golden pencils, and I must say that they looked awesome to me!

    I'm now starting to try and collect an assortment of the various nannostomus sp. available, can anyone of you tell me what's available here in S'pore, and where to find them?

    Thanks,

    Kenny Poh

    gan usually has the dwarf Nannostomus marginatus, and also the rocket N. eques. You can check with Biotope to see if they have the wild eques with maroon tails.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Hi Choy,

    Last Sunday when I was at Gan, he only had the coral reds.

    Btw, where is Biotope. Pardon me for asking, but the LFS list doesn;t provide the address of the shop.

    Cheers,

    Kenny,

    Click on Biotope in the LFS list. The details are in the next page.

    See map. There are a number of LFS in that block and a huge RTG (I think) in a 4ft tank (sadly) in one of the other shops (hairdresser I think).
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Er, I've already checked....and from my computer, all I saw was the name of the LFS, general location (north,east south and west), contact person and perhaps rating.

    There's no specific address, as I far as I can see from my computer. That's why I asked.

    Cheers,

    Hi Vince,

    Hey thanks!!! Sorry, I'm a bit of a computer/IT handicapper.
