SRC Member blackpuma Posted June 16, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted June 16, 2005 I can testify that Marine Life's LS is of very good quality. I got 3 fishes from them and they are all happily swimming in my tank. I am no way related to Marine Life, just a happy customer with henry's service and his willingness to share his knowledge and advice.

SRC Member hotlemond Posted June 16, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted June 16, 2005 henry's LS are of quality. all the LS i got from him are grown up and fat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member cornyfish Posted June 16, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted June 16, 2005 But the prices of the LS at MarineLife LFS is more expensive than outside right? That was what i heard... 50% more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member 35Cents Posted June 17, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted June 17, 2005 50% no lah..... lesser lah.... everyone knows ML is more expensive... but why so many people go? Quality my friend.... not to mention solid advises and information you can pick up from veteran Henry. Quote "Ah, Blackadder. Started talking to yourself, I see."

Well i don't mind paying extra if i can rest in comfort with the thought that what i buy will survive.. as long as the 'extra' is not too extra... But Hong Leong Garden is kinda far for someone like me who has to rely on public transport to cross the entire width of the island to reach the shop. Any equally good LFSes in the east to recommend anyone? Seems to me that quality lifestock is hard to find... almost every LFS i go to has lots of dead or dying fishes in their tanks, fishes scratching against the substrate, rapid breathing or visible white spots. Don't LFSes in Singapore ever quarantine their stocks before offering them for sale?? From what i see, i guess the answer is no... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singapore is a small island.... one end to the next only 1+ hr on the MRT. In the states, I know a reefer that drives 4 hours to get to his LFS. When I'm in london, it took me 2 hrs to get to my LFS. Good quality complain far..... near one complain no good.... sigh... oh I know.. go east coast and catch the fishes yourself... Quote "Ah, Blackadder. Started talking to yourself, I see."

SRC Member blackpuma Posted June 17, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hey pommie, It's worth the travelling. It is better to have happy fishes in your tank than dead fishes. Definately not 50 % more something like 20 to 25 but his fishes are definately worth it. If his fish cannot survive, very likely there is somthing wrong with your tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member cornyfish Posted June 17, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well, i just came back from MarineLife... must say that the lifestock there all look fat and well-fed. The shrimps in particular are all XL size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
