  1. Your map is refer to the other Ayer Rajah food court near Science Park Drive @ Buona Vista Flyover.. I take my lunch there quite often..
  2. Nope, old LFS... Located at wet market behind Ayer Rajah Food Centre Blk 503 also near where Jireh LFS previously located. Previously Jireh located at Blk 505. Cheers..
  3. Ayer Rajah Food court LFS today: => small size YT (<2") => small size Flame angel (<2") => Blue Tang => Adult french angel => Cleaner shrimp => Fire shrimp => Mandarin goby => Banggai cardinal

  5. They looks like pearl eye Clarkii from few month back LCK shipment...

  9. How about your salinity, KH & PH? I suspected either your KH depleted or Salinity out of control? Not recommend in long run....Cheers..
  10. I think most Tangs r susceptible to ichs, probably In the wild, ichs parasite & Tangs rarely meets. Tangs generally swim in pair or schools midwater level. rarely close to sand or the rock except nipping on algae. And most of the time, straight down when nipping on rock. They are scale-less and without slime coat. So, the skin protection level is weak also highly demanding on oxygen level due to scaleless/slime coat.. If really Ichs parasites attacked, were from blood fluids and multiples on blood line which causing oxygen deficiency accelerated. Tang might died due to that. For ichs parasite normally lives on rock or sandbed. So, probability for them to meet up is almost near zero in the wild. Below is just my tot.... PBT belong to Acanthuridae species.. Compare to Zebrasoma sailfin species.. Both r prone to ichs but most acanthuridae r more susceptible and harder recover from ichs like AT, BT, CT & PBT... I believe something deal with their skin characterize.. Cause I realize most Acanthuridae changing Skin Color with mode but not so obvious on Zebrasoma species.. Also their oxygen requirement higher than others.. fast swimmer and bigger space requirement.. Therefore, in captivity the stress level will be significantly higher if keeping them in smaller space. That is the reason, you always see them hover in front return flow... Above just my tot or sharing.. Cheers...
  11. Pls call to check before visit.. Cheers...

  14. Fyi, 20 Marines to Avoid by Scott Michael @ Practical Fishkeeping Magazine Issue 6 June 2009 Cheers...
  15. Looks like Crinoid/ feather starfish.. Clearer picture help ID easier.. Crinoid is filter feeder also lying on food source from Sponge/Sea Fan... Care level: Expert only... Some bro here may know better on this species... Cheers...
  16. Welcome... Gigio.. I recommend Singapore Bird park, Sentosa Dolphin lagoon, Singapore Zoo & Night safari, City tour.. info can find in below link: http://www.toursinsingapore.com/ self adventure event: Canopy walk, Nature reserve & Park. I propose HortParks or MacRitchie tree top walk.. http://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/index.php?option=com_visitorsguide&task=attractions&id=64&Itemid=73 Pls find below Singapore LFS MAP, address & contact. I recommend either Farmway 2 or LCK Farm area. Beside fish shop at the same time you can visit other farm like cactus, frog, goat, dog farm or some reserve park.. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=112917874651802001146.0004462b667fa656671fe&ll=1.362863,103.916931&spn=0.516896,0.617981&z=11 Other than that.. U can join the city tour package.. http://www.citytours.sg/ If your stay around 26-29 May.. you can visit the biggest fish show exhibition Aquarama 2011.. http://www.aquarama.com.sg/ Enjoy your stay.. Cheers..
  17. AM update: SriLangka shipment Thursdays/Friday, Mainly shrimp I think... Bali Fish & Corals shipment Friday.
  18. I suggest heal them @ stable tank or seeking LFS help to house them in their QT tank. Take Care..
  19. But take note this device will reset once power outage or main switch off. U need climb again to calibrate or tune the RF channel base on remote once reset.. I try find them when free.. too long ago leo.. Cheers..
  20. Some write up by Reefbuilders... http://reefbuilders.com/2011/04/05/captive-bred-yellow-tangs/ Below articles from CTSA The development of captive culture technology for yellow tang and other high-value reef species is imperative to protect our increasingly threatened coral reef ecosystem. Not only will captive production technologies help take pressure off wild fish populations, they will also provide new economic opportunities associated with the worldwide trade in marine ornamental species. The first major hurdle encountered was the establishment of an egg supply. We were successful obtaining tank spawns from yellow tang early on in the project, but most eggs produced by captive stocks were either infertile, or failed to properly complete development (non-viable). Through a combination of better broodstock selection, improved broodstock holding systems and protocols, and superior broodstock diets we have slowly increased egg output, and most importantly, greatly improved egg quality. In particular, this last year we saw major gains with current yellow tang egg production, attaining levels of over one million eggs per month with a mean fertility rate of 84% with an egg viability rate of 51% (Fig. 1). Figure 1. Picture of yellow tang broodstock tank (left photo) and overall egg production from captive broodstock population showing lunar pattern in egg production over time. The second major hurdle was developing a suitable larval rearing system for newly hatched larvae. Yellow tang eggs demonstrate a typical developmental sequence to many pelagic spawning reef fishes with hatching occurring 21 to 22 hrs after fertilization. The resulting larvae are much smaller than other fish species cultured to date (including the pygmy angelfishes), which makes them highly sensitive to the physical attributes of the larval rearing system. Following hatch, larvae spend the first day at the tank surface and then move into the water column on day two while they complete mouth and eye development in preparation for feeding. Even light aeration (which facilitated hatching) was shown to be highly destructive to these fragile pre-feeding larvae. The use of static conditions helped improve early survival, however the deterioration in water quality precluded its practical application. In response we developed an upwelling water delivery system to maintain water quality while providing a less turbulent larval environment. These system improvements now support excellent early (pre-feeding) larval survival, enabling us to generate large numbers of larvae through the first-feeding period Figure 2. Pictures of yellow tang larvae as they begin to feed on available prey items including algae and early stage copepod eggs and nauplii and begin to develop into characteristic pelagic larvae with notable growth in dorsal and pectoral spines. The next challenge was identifying a suitable feed for yellow tang larvae as they develop functional mouths and eyes and begin to feed on day three. Limited efforts to feed yellow tang larvae using a similar copepod nauplii feeding regimen (based on success with flame angelfish, red snapper and bluefin trevally) proved unsuccessful for the yellow tang, with larvae failing to feed and dying of starvation. However, with a combination of improved broodstock egg supplies, use of copepod eggs and smaller nauplii, and an improved larval rearing system we were able to stimulate larvae to feed on eggs and nauplii of both Parvocalanus and Bestiolina copepods. However, only Parvocalanus appears amenable to stable production and large-scale culture. Initial trials with early developing yellow tang larvae yielded feeding rates that were quite low and highly variable. Subsequent research revealed that larval feeding rates were highly affected by tank lighting and coloration. Thus the adoption of dark (black) colored experimental tanks along with use of a gentle upwelling water delivery best supported yellow tang larvae as they initiate feeding, with over 80% of the observed larvae exhibiting full guts upon microscopic examination at days 4 and 5 post-hatch (Fig 2). Associated with the initiation of feeding, we began to see significant changes in size and appearance of larvae as they continue to actively feed (Fig. 2). Notable changes include changes in shape, a deepening in the head and body musculature, growth and development of the brain and internal organs, along with rapid growth of protective spines from dorsal and pectoral fins.
