Yep! These are the 2 places that I visit frequently. People there are friendly.

ya, LCK is too far just to buy one or two plants.
Just found out also there is an aquarium shop which specialises in aquatic aquarium at Thomson Plaza, 2nd floor. Has good variety of plants & the fishes there are well maintained.

[grasshopper]

there're some plants selling at $1.50, and some selling at $10++. fishes cost more... for example a 3cm long torpedo barb cost $8, whereas in Petmart (Serangoon North blk 151) you can get the same price for bigger fish. but the boss is willing to give discount if you buy more.

on which side of Kovan MRT? Simon road? Food Centre?

[Mamat]

This is indeed a good link.. I need to re-do my planted tank.. coz I need to shift the whole tank to another location to make way for 5-ft ones.. need to get supplies like sand, filter mediums too.. not to mention plants..

If you drive, visit the 'Ah Pek' aquatic plant exporter in Pasir Ris Fish Farm. He has plenty pre-soaked drift wood, with riccia or java moss tied to it.

CAPRICORN Aquarium aka 'Ah Pek'
No. 33, Pasir Ris Farmway 2, Singapore 510000
Tel: 6583 9339

i've also located the Ecoculture, which is about 5-10min walk from Kovan MRT. it is among the shophouse of eateries like Taiwan Porridge, Teochew Kway, Teochew porridge. :drool:/>

I frequent TEO Aquatic when I was still in the planted tank stuffs. The people over there are very helpful and the plants are cheap. You get to see how the plants look like growing on land and under the water, they look totally different.

Many fish shops have or trying to covert land plants into underwater plants.
Some have achieved a little success, but most of them failed.
It is a matter of time that the plants still start to rot.
True underwater plants usually will take root if your tank is equipped with a Carbon Dioxide diffuser.

Why is that so?

Easier to grow and make more profits? These land plants will not do well in the water and will rot sooner or later.
