[Regal]

Pardon me.

T95 is short for the lot number they are located which is generally used here.

It is Supreme Aquarium which someone had mentioned it is at Seletar.

They are listed in our LFS directory.

1 of the old pioneer and popular LFS in the heyday.

BESIDE FISHS, GOT ANY CORAL SHIPMENT.

[Solo77]

Finally! Chiong ahhhhhhhh.......

red sea shipment always only have these 5 fishes.

why can't the supplier catch more interesting fish like mesoleucos butterfly, paucifasciatus butterfly, eight line flasher wrasse, intermedius banner fish etc?

so boring and hopeless!

I second to LL's statement. 8 line flasher..sounds nice. LL if you see one ,do let me know. Kumsia

you will never see 8 line flasher wrasse here.

many countries in asia are contented with asfur, purple tang, sohal tang, maculosus and golden butterflies. that's why red sea suppliers do not send the other red sea fishes here.

the people in japan and U.S.A are getting these other fishes from the red sea because they request for them and the market there is bigger. you will be surprised how cheap the fishes below are. 8 line flashers are only around $50, banner fish is 35, white face is about 30 and the red back butterfly is 65. all cheaper than sohal tang, purple tang, asfur angels, but we don't get coz no body knows about them and no body wants them.

when ask about red sea shipment, many ppl will say sohal, PT, asfur. but there are many more beautiful and equally common fishes that we don't get to see. like these.

8 line flasher wrasse

red sea banner fish

white face butterflyfish

red back butterflyfish.

kluzinger's moon wrasse

sankeyi dottyback

so red sea shipment still has potential to expand in our Singapore market.

sorry for off topic.

Lemon,

Since most of the LFSs are sponsors here and you are regular and well known with them. why not have a chat with them to bring them in and try?

i've been trying v hard. i think the LFS also irritated by my pestering lol hehe. everytime i go to LFS, i'm tying to pull connections to get better imports for everyone here.

but there are two kinds of limitations.

1) - other countries are paying much more for the fishes so we cannot get them. our market is small and buying power also small, so we are placed at the bottom priority.

2) - not enough awareness. most of the time i try but the LFS don't know what i'm talking about. also the market for fish here is very small and people are more interested in corals. the lack of interest in fish makes it very difficult also.

there's only so much i can do and i have a few friends here who are helping me and we are trying our best to make something good appear in our local markets but it's not as easy and we cannot do it alone.

so far i've managed to get reborn to bring in marginalis butterflies, iwarna and LCK to bring in marjorie fairy wrasse, and a bunch of other stuff i cannot remember.

now we're trying to get rusty x flame angel hybrids, roseafascia, pintail fairy wrasse and other beautiful things into our country but it will take awhile.

you will be surprised how much we're missing out. philippine and indo shipments are supposed to be the treasure throve of gems but also we cannot get. so be patient! hope our efforts pay off.

again, sorry for the off topic.

any pics for the red sea shipment?

Bros understand golden butterflies are difficult fishes. Anyone successful in keeping them? Very tempted to try out but want to find out more before jumping in.

not very difficult.

moderate. if you acquire healthy specimen, give them some time to settle down and no stress, they will start feeding.

not reef safe.

Thks for d info. Might drop by tomo to get one. Will place it in my quarantine tank to make sure it's feeding b4 releasing to d main tank. Not reef safe is ok cause mine is a fowlr tank.

[mopiko]

i got one from a fellow reefer, John before. Was feeding on pellets! but lost it to ick..... he got quite good record in keeping a feeding golden butterfly
