k0na_scab Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 oh well went out to "fish" of cause went down to PR farm ... but most of them closed... so i headed down to bedok 85 dere to take a look. bought dis orange fish from this uncle's shop (okay, no names here, there r only a few shops there so go figure) , and my fish died on the way back. of cos, it was swimmin lively in the tank thats y i bought it. the guy scooped water from another tank for the plastic bag to transport the fish home. when i got back i measured the water with the hydrometer, and voila! my meter's needle didn't even MOVE. What kind of inconsiderate fish seller@! shd make him drink salt water instead of fresh water!! thats cruelty to animals. horrible !!! disgusting !!! will nv patronise the shop EVER again.

The uncle scoop water from a freshwater tank. But luckily i noticed it and pointed out to the uncle. The uncle then realise his mistake and change it. Else i think my livestock would also went up to heaven liao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Tanzy Posted January 24, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 24, 2004 Sea stars are very sensitive to salinity differences so if there are stars in there, the water must be pretty normal saltwater.

SRC Member arcanehacker Posted January 24, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 24, 2004 Sea stars are very sensitive to salinity differences so if there are stars in there, the water must be pretty normal saltwater. true true.. is the hydrometer spoilt or somethin? Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth?
