I guess you encountered a "modern LFS uncle"... have to switch to using proper scientific species names, like daphnia moina.

Eunos MRT got LFS? Or you referring to That Aquarium along Changi Road?

If the uncle is Cantonese, you can try using the term "soi chee". If the uncle is from China, he may understand if you ask for "wen". But local uncles
usually understand if you mention "ang boon".

Is that the LFS behind the hawker centre? How often do they have boons for sale?

For me OTF in Pasir Ris Farmway is the most reliable source, but still better to call ahead to make sure they have. Sometimes they are sold out. Or sometimes their supplier in Malaysia did not send any over.

Yup, ask Mdm Toh or Mdm Chia, give them your vehicle or phone number as a reference. Best to call after 10am.

Where to deal

Saw this thread and was wondering if Daphnia magna can be found in Singapore? I bought some boons from That Aquarium at Yishun but they are too small.

Anyone knows where to get the big boons? Thank you, much appreciated!
