Moderators thomas_lim Posted October 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 30, 2014 Is a good question. Probably those keeping marine in the 60s or 70s will be able to tell more. The very first encounter with a fish shop with marine fishes was at a row of shop houses which were at the site where SOTA(Prinsep Street) is now. What caught me then was cooperband butterfly! The color was stunning. This is in the late 70s. I can't really remember what others was there. The roll of shop shop was where Red Sea Aquarium is before they moved into Parklane shopping mall.

Accordingly to the old uncle, the lobster body was bitten off part by other fish. But luckily lobster body does not holds any organs so can still eat sleep and play. Sort of. Quote 子非鱼,焉知鱼之乐...
