Merlion

I share your views, pets like dogs and cats have temporary adoption services. But in this type of hobby it is so difficult to find a place where we can "tompang" our coral and fishes. No such service caused headaches for people going on holiday, doing renovation, moving house or simply upgrading to a larger tank. Just wondering whether got anyone got such services, I don't mind paying a sum of money for the days our LS are taken care of.

Hope the below information helps those who are looking for Marine LFS from the majority Freshwater LFS. Those who know the directions of other LFS can also contribute. Those who had posted their directions of LFS in other threads, please help to cut and paste in this thread so that it could help other members too. This is for the benefit of everyone to make it easier for each & everyone of us to find our desired Local Fish Shops around. Please note that this posting is to help members to get around with public & not private transportation. As such, please give directions quoting the nearest MRT station, bus interchange, bus nos, etc, etc. I will contribute first for Reborn, Paradiz Reef and Sealife. 1. Sealife: Nearest MRT station is Toa Payoh or Boon Keng. But I rather alight at TP coz can straight away hop to bus no 145. If not after you find Reborn, you could take bus no. 145 along Lavender Rd and proceed straight to Sealife .Please alight at the bust stop after Shaw Plaza. The place is located near to Hoover Hotel. However, Hotel 81 sign is more prominent for you to know that Hoover is just next to it. The whole journey takes about 15 minutes from Toa Payoh. However, I'm not too sure how long the journey will last if you were to take a bus from Lavender Road coz I always go there from TP. 2. Reborn: Nearest MRT train is Boon Keng and exit the train by exit C. You will see an open area the size of a football field and some HDB houses nearby. Walk along the stretch of field until you come across a new stretch of road, called Lavender Road; where the traffic is quite high. Cross the two stretch of roads and voila, Reborn is just in from of you. 3. Paradiz Reef: Same MRT and same walking distance like No. 2. After you find Reborn, walk along the flow of traffice for at least 5 minutes. There are two set of traffic lights that you need to encounter before you find Paradiz Reef. Though Reborn & Paradiz Reef shared the same stretch of road, the name of road for Paradiz Reef is Balestier Rd. Just put aside the difference in road names and followed the advice that I had given and in no time you will find Reborn and Paradiz Reef. Happy Scouting Around

Ok! Thks for the feedback. I believe the new post can help those who have difficulties in finding LFS.

Terryz_, let me give you the clearest instructions about the ways to go to Sealife, Paradiz Reef and Reborn. 1. Sealife: Nearest MRT station is Toa Payoh or Boon Keng. But I rather alight at TP coz can straight away hop to bus no 145. If not after you find Reborn, you could take bus no. 145 along Lavender Rd and proceed straight to Sealife .Please alight at the bust stop after Shaw Plaza. The place is located near to Hoover Hotel.

The whole journey takes about 15 minutes from Toa Payoh and from Lavender Road I am not too sure coz I always go there from TP. 2. Reborn: Nearest MRT train is Boon Keng and exit the train by exit C.

Thanks Shark for the info.

I also know the address of Petmart but is clueless about going there. Anyone here can help, for example the nearest MRT station and buses that could lead us there?

Flame Angel is sensitive to fluctuations in water parameters and as such, care must be taken to ensure that your water is of good quality. It is best to start off with those hardy fishes before progressing to Flame Angel or other angel fishes. And since we are discussing about Flame Angel, I would also want to find out whether it is okay to add a Flame Ange to a tank that has a Coral Beauty.

Hi Bwilly Thanks for the info! Where could I get the timer that you had mentioned?

From my experience, I would list the following clownfishes as aggressive. The top in the list being most aggressive and the bottom being the least or timid. 1. Tomato 2. Maroon 3. African 4. Yellow and brown clownfish (sorry can't remember it general name) 5. False Percula 6. True Percula As to why they are called according to their names, probably any experts here want to clarify?

The clownfish was eating well during the day of its death. During the early part of that night, it was hiding at the back of the tank where there are a lot of rocks. It usually won't stay there for long and will linger around the area where the bubble coral reside. This has been it's practice for so long. I guess, it must be my fault coz I forgot to on the night lights and as such the fish could not see properly & bumped into the bubble coral.

That's the problem with wondering anemones. Last time, my deceased, yellow bleached anemone, can stop wondering around the tank. Finally, of all places, it make itself home near to a suction pipe in my tank that was linked to my canister filter. You could guess what happened next. Some of its tentacles got stuck in the suction pipe and in the process of trying to relieve it from its predicament, it was ripped by my tugging and the force of the suction that drawed water from the tank. I should have known better & switched off the canister but in my haste to save the inveterbrate I caused harm to it.

Sorry, what I mean is that Cured Live Roacks are definitely safer.

Are you referring to Uncured Live Rocks? Coz they are definitely safer.

Tomato clown is especially aggressive to other clown fishes which are not of the same species. I used to have a Tomato clown and it always get irritated, aggresive and annoyed at the other clownfishes that got in its way. Ended up got to see "high speed chase movie", with the chaser being the Tomato clown. Often, the chasee will be the one getting hurt.

My medium sized clownfish died coz got stuck in the jelly like substance of my bubble coral during the night. I guess it was too close to the stinging tentacles of the coral and thereby got "embraced" by the tentacles. When I on the lights, the left part of the clownfish was embedded in the coral while the other part was not. I had to gently release the dead fish from the bubble coral grasp and it was more than willing to let it go. The dead fish body, especially the head was engulfed in "glue". I'm just wondering if the rest of the members here had encountered such situation. And just out of curiousity, would Bubble Coral harm small fishes?
