  1. Most if not all of the seahorse are in the iucn red list and are on cites appendix 2 all along just that it is not so restricted that you cant find them..
  2. Lol.. Collection and importing of seahorse is not being restricted very strictly even weedy and leafy seadragon can be obtain thru legal means but paper work is a hassle abd be expected to pay minimum a few k for one.. CITES certificate is required for importing seahorses and most of them now are captive bred from vietnam and australia and many are breeding them and importing them is easier and more sustainable.. Of course there are always stowaways in our weekly shipment.. H. Comes and H. Kudas are the common stowaways we see commonly, H.barbouri is slightly uncommon and highly sought after by seahorse keeper.. H. reidi is also a popular species and one of the easier ones to feed readily on fw shrimps as their snouts are bigger and thicker, but haven seen them for sometime due to demands and supply issue and of course the price which is around 250 each and only females are made available. H. abdominalis and H. breviceps are readily available from Australia as there a few breeders there, they are cooler temperature species and require cooler temperature to survive and price is reasonably affordable for seahorse fanatics.. H.Erectus and H. Zosterae have also been imported in by iwarna before at very reasonable price for these rarer seens species in our market.. There are other accidental shipment where you can get H. spinosissimus and H. Trimaculatus but the possibility is really low, I have only gotten 4 spinosissimus so far in my 9 years.. Of course I am not the one keeping them, I am not aure if any are still around as a pair been circulating around since we let them go to good fren who kept seahorse very well.. But seahorse are not a beginner fishes, even in a species tank they are are difficult to look after because of the amount of TLC you have to give them to train them and wean them onto frozen fw shrimps.. I shall not comment anything about the media and ava as it is quite obvious.
  3. Have a Eductor FR 30 @ $80 Or Eductor FR 30 with Eheim Compact 2000 @ $100.. Collection at Jurong West Ave 3..
  4. Great for small tank and works well for biopellets..
  5. Dear all, I have 2 set of Mini Filter X from fish street. Selling each set at $45 for one and $80 for both.. Collection at Jurong West Ave 3..
  6. Be it cheap or expensive.. The buyer themselves can decide whether they should buy the fish.. Lemon is just promoting the rare blenny that some reefers might take interest in and just informing about the price for these two blenny.. And the comment about each tank should have one is just a metaphoric way of saying that ecsenius blenny is a good genus of blenny to have in a tank and oculus is one of the rarer one available now..
  7. Speculations, no concrete info on it as the latter is not very commonly seen and seems not able to retain the black stripe. .
  8. It have been seen as a variant of the usual liopropoma sp but I think it is a different species but the black stripe will fade overtime..
  9. I think spider wood dun really leech tannin from experience. But might not last in saltwater...
  10. Use pellets that are used for feeding corals.. Wheat germ is used in some pellet food which I believe is not good for corals long term..
  11. This is sunny but I have not went for very long, should be around there.. not sure if beng took over the whole area. Cos sunny used to sell marine too
  12. I believe not... Sunny is quite far in but I might be wrong.. used to drive there.
  13. Okamurai and dichrous.. I can only dream... actually the thompsoni not bad..
  14. His shop got so much more to see now compared to the last I went..
  15. It came with deepwater chromis and another geographical variant of the mystery wrasse..
  16. Wah, there is even more peppermint this shipment compared to last batch.. Maybe I should pay him another visit end of this year..
  17. Cf have a rare Lubbockichthys multisquamatus for sale, stable and feeding from the display tank... Call for more details..
