Guys, don't brother going to LFS this week. A container carrying so called frozen goodshave been napped by custom, as they uncover a few hundred corals hidden under the boxes right at the bottom boxes.

So don't think about buying anything this week.

Coffeshop - talk from my AVA friend.

huh? why dun go LFS, those seized shld be illegal, so we can juz go to those who take in supply legally lor..

[jc85]

Its in the news last nite. Most LFS should be bringing in legal/Cites LS anyway since the recent crack down.

Stay cool, bro. Frankly, I'm not too sure if most of the LFS are empty. Mainly bcose I only frequent only a couple of them for my stock and I believe they're bringing in their LS legally (hope I'm not wrong tot).

I believe the issue of buying "illegel" LS has been discussed previously, shall not bring it up again.

Cheers

[Weapon_Master]

Sure hope that this cramp down will improve the future LS that is brought in "Legally".

Anyone visting CF this weekend?

[Wei]

If shops are all bringing CITES hard coral, expect a price increase of 2-3 times of what you paid for previously.

Cheers!

Spotted 5 flying gunards.... for those with large FOWLR tanks... as these are not reef-safe.

Interesting fish!

Oh at BioOcean Aquarix, our sponsor.

[Achilles Tang]

flatfish/flounders are carnivorous fish.

They'll make short work of your shrimps & small fishes. Not reefsafe and needs a large tank with sandy bottoms.

Actually the price of LPS & SPS is about the same at the supplier. Infact SPS tend to be cheaper................. The problem on $ mark-up is due to the fact to being able to ship & hold SPS for longterm in most LFS/distributor setup ->imagine the sliming & calcium requirement + lighting to keep alive & colors for long:blink: . So they will need much higher $ to maintain and account for any lost during holding & shipping. BTW, most softies do not need CITES, like mushroom, leather, xenia & etc...... I still feel that bringing in CITES certified corals do not necessary mean higher prices. Maybe, volume will determine the freight + CITES apllication cost. -> Well, hope that that this hobby grow big time in S'pore and we have ahuge enough reefer population to sustain bring in large quantities of CITES certified corals.

Anything to see at CF?

[marinebetta]

Lots of Indonesian stuff came in on Thursday at CF, but mainly common things I think (still in bags so did not go through them). One nice med size black tang; nice looking tuka anthias; and a few really nice Yasha gobies.....ask Rumor!
