A close up of the nautilus shell....

An endangered species?

Seamonkee, did you buy that? Supporting the curio/shell trade encourages fishermen to catch more of these beautiful animals which are later killed and their shells sold to tourists.

The nautilus shell was a spare dead specimen given to me by my colleague he kept when I was still at the zoo lah.... Got death cert one....

As for the small shells, they were bought by my mum unknowingly during her trip to China on her own initiative without me asking... unless you want me to flog her for that?

Thanks for the concern, bro danano... Dun worry about it... you are talking to someone who knows the CITEs rulings inside out, participated in some animal skinning himself while at the zoo and perhaps met the AVA chairman at times in person... I think before you can flog me, he will flog me first if I foul in any of the AVA or CITES rulings...

Aiyah, I said live specimen as a joke lah... these fellows are hard to keep according to my friends at Underwater World too... ....

Now we have Nautilus Police on top of the usual Tang Police... I must hide from danano liao...

love,

your Usual Crazy Whacky Seamonkee with his whacky replies..

One more week and counting down! Both to the release of your babies into their new tank as well as your first day at your new job?

[terryansimon]

hows the tank setup and everything of late? I hope you can tahan until the end of June or something. (=

[seamonkee]

New job starts on 27th June after my exams.... Fish releasing ceremony on 12th June... hahaha...

So bro. terryansimon... which exam dates did you get? I got mine on the 14th and 20th June... Thank God it is one week apart....

All the best for your exams then!

Taking the gov's advice to constantly upgrade yourself huh?

[terryansimon]

my exams? heh. let's just say they're ALL BACK TO BACK! wah lau. all at the Caulfield race course, which isn't anywhere near my campus. thank goodness I bought a car. (=

anyway, you coming down to Melbourne anytime soon for your final module or something? do let me know. and bring photos of your tanks. feeling quite deprieved.

the closest I've seen to fishes in Melbourne is the fish stall at Queen Victoria Market and the funny creatures they have there. I'm really tempted to buy a goldfish for myself, although I think I'll probably need to buy a heater for it, seeing how it's winter now and the ambient temperatures average about 7 degrees for now. and it's not even the dead of winter yet. oh well.
