Fishy Passion

I was at an aquarium store in the evening after work, and was looking for some aquatic snails for my tanks when the store owner told me that they did not stock them and other freshwater shrimps anymore as people had the tendency not to place back the air operated filters back into the tanks after they had caught them, resulting in massive losses.

Just came back from my holiday, realised that the water in my tank has become much clearer!

Pretty much looks like a regular bleach container, don't you think so?

It just pondered upon me that the lunar zodiac animal for Lunar New Year 2010 happens to be the tiger...

Don't you think it would be auspicious to include fishes with tiger colouration / markings into your tank?

I think I have gotten the clown loach bug recently!!!!

Anyway.. did some online research and found out that there are many other types of patterns that clown loaches have!!!

Amazing!! It makes me wanna go find all of them!

Got three pieces of jumbo clown loaches recently...

Very active guys...

Swimming with the rest of the slightly smaller clown loaches I have in my tank..

Some pics of them (taken with flash):

SINGAPORE: Investigations are being carried out after several fish died at a local koi competiton. One fish owner, Jemmy Tan, is suspecting foul play.

He said all the fish in the Young Koi Show were placed in the same type of water but only his batch of 10 were affected.

A koi can command a market value of up to S$20,000 and Mr Tan is estimating his losses run into tens of thousands of dollars.

But this isn't the first time mischief has plagued the show. Mr Tan said one of his championship fish had its tail cut after winning the title a few years.

Mr Tan has filed a police report and has sent his fish for further analysis. - CNA/vm

Can't believe such a thing actually happened in Singapore.

I wonder if the people were so jealous that they had to resort to doing this.
