After looking around online, it seems the price has fluctuated quite a bit since it first hit the market. Hopefully the yellow anthias becomes more available in the future.

Not sure how much they go for now, I know I can't afford the equally nice yellow anthias though.

Here is another pic, apologies if they look blur, had to resize them before uploading.

Thought I'd share a pic of my friends borb, very nice fish, and one I'm considering in the near future. Any other keepers of this fish here? More pics/ care tips would be great.

Currently using a Daeil 1/7 HP chiller for a sump-less tank less than 40 gallons. Will probably purchase another chiller as backup due to the temp needs of the potential livestock. I understand there is little or no interest in temperate setups in SG, and that will probably not change anytime soon. That being said, undertaking unique projects like this is what keeps the hobby interesting. Thanks for all the advice.

I see. Well, maybe a fish for the future then. I've been told that the blotchy anthias can also be kept at relatively cool temps. Maybe one to consider? My tank is now set on 20 Degrees and runs roughly 7 hours a day. How long do chillers in the typical reef tank run in Singapore's warm weather?

Thanks! Will go down to have a look. The Bigeye is still top on the list now though. The P.niphonia at ML looks great but out of budget. I wish, price would probably be high!

Great to know the bill won't be exceedingly high. Thanks! Finding some of these fishes seems like the hard part though.

Thanks for the advice Digiman. Have you seen the Catalufa bigeye or Hulafishes in SG recently?

The chiller would probably be running more than it would for a regular reef tank, but I've seen many interesting temperate species over the years (mostly when travelling) and it would be great to be able to maintain some of these in the aquarium.

I'll have to check the power bill at the end of the month to find out how much more the chiller adds. I am slightly worried about the chiller overworking though.

I've got a 1/2 inch thick acrylic tank, but it isn't enough to prevent condensation when my air conditioning is off.

Nope, planning to have it in my room actually. Have gotten a 1/7 HP chiller and the noise level is tolerable.

Hi, I am considering setting up a cool water tank (between 15-18 degs) and was wondering if there are any occasional imports to SG that have fish that can tolerate this temperature range. Those I know of are Catalina gobies, Bigeyes (Pristigenys) and possibly pinecone fish. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks!

Which shop at Pasir Ris has Blotched Anthias?

Aquarist chamber: 6635 6041

Thanks for the offers, chiller found.

Looking for the above, please pm if you have a unit for sale. Thanks!

Any large clams & rock flower anemone spotted?

What are the clean up crew that came in at Iwarna?

I'm currently housing them in a 2ft tank with Zoas. Peaceful fish 2X the Cuttle's size should be ok, but my bio load is already too high. Price usually around 20-ish, got them most recently from ML & CF in the past.

Longest I've managed is about 9 months. Though breeding is possible, I haven't observed any sign of mating in my past attempts. They are really quite high maintenance though, I feed them frozen shrimp once a day and change 15% water weekly to manage water quality in absence of a skimmer.

Anyone here keeping this species of cuttlefish? Just thought I'd share mine, I think they're among one of the most interesting critters to keep in a species tank. (If you can spot them)

I've seen several Hailea's (not sure which model) go down to 4 degrees. But I'm not sure it can chill to that temperature with the surroundings at 20-ish.
