Rainbow!!!! Don't get yourself into trouble there. I start my marine 10yrs ago, everything bought from them, and got conned BIG TIME .... Anyway, here is my grandpa story to tell. Long long ago, when Rainbow still selling lots of marine livestock, they allow ppl to buy fish and coral on credit. I never did that until I fine day I saw a damm chio flame angel. As a sch boy then, I only have $40 in my wallet and the fish cost $95 then. So they offer me to take the fish first and pay later. Of coz i overjoy and took the offer. They issue me an invoice with my surname "Chua" written on it. After the 1st on-credit purchase, I started to use this "service" more often, becoz I haven't get pocket money for the next week (mine is weekly pocket money). I will go the next visit to pay my previous purchase and then add a new credit for my new purchase. Finally comes a day the boss ask me a question. That sucker ask me "You always take take the fish, but I never see you pay money". I was stuned, so I grab his worker that receive my payment to verify, luckily they said pay liao...hengz...i thought the workers eat my money. Here comes the worst event of all..... On a Sat morning, I went there as usual to pay my credit and buy new fishes. The boss saw me and ask me wanna do part-time job since it's sch holiday, $50 a day. Why not...such a good offer. He ask for my IC and tel number and noted down my particulars, start work the next day. So sunday I go to work!!! But instead of work, he pull out a pile of invoice, all written with the name "Chua". The total bills was like 8k+, and wanted me to pay. I almost fainted. I look through the invoice, items like Jap Koi for 2k each and those fresh water stuff pop up. They insist that I have bought the item and I have to pay NOW. FYI, I never buy a single fresh water livestock from them before. They grab me and refuse to let me go, I tried to run and one of the guy throw a punch on my face. Finaly I told them, I have to go home take money, or else how to pay. They took my trick and let me go off. I rush home and call my father which later reported the police. But then SG police so lazy, they said unless they harrass me again, they will not take it as a case. So during the nite, my father and me went down to Rainbow again. With my father around, they don't dare to be rude liao. My father clarify with them that I never have a fresh water fish since I started marine. And not every stupid invoice with the word "Chua" belong to me. Ended up they ask me 1 question, "Did you buy those stuff?". Of coz I said no. They said okie lor but added that they "will remember me". After that incident, I hate Rainbow very very much. They are a gang of hooligan preying on innocent boy for money. On 1 occassion while i visiting a LFS at Katong, they happen to be there too. They followed me until I out of the shop and chase me, wanting to hit me again. I ran and ran, managed to halt a taxi and jump in and then show them monkey face. I never go to that Katong shop anymore, neither I go near Rainbow. EVen now I go Petmart, I will not walk pass the front of Rainbow. Just wanna warn you guys about my experience. THE END..... hope you enjoy reading.....

Hi Roger You mean Petmart selling a pack of Brine Shrimp for $3. Are they Live or Frozen brine shrimp?? Many years ago, I did try hatching brine shrimp myself. They are easy to hatch. Put them in the 1.25L coke bottle with salt water, throw in a airline to bubble and shine a table lamp on it. That's easy!!! But they are so small....I use liquid food to feed them for 2 weeks in order to grow them to around 5mm long to feed the fish. But after 2 weeks of change water, liquid food dose, I get only a few shrimp alive. Which I ditch the idea forever, I using Frozen brine shrimp now....ha.h.a Better still, use dupla food pellet. My fish love them a lot...
