But those guppies in old market lfs are mostly feeder fishes leh, 1 entire tank full of dull coloured guppies. Quite a squeeze, easily few hundred of them in a small 1.5 or 2 footer..

oh...that's how u spell it...'stun' . yeah the tanks full of them.to us they were treasure man....but they dun survive too long.besides the LFS we go to monsoon drains and small drains to catch fish.bedok...miss that place.we prepare poles, nets...macam go to big expedition..but we went to the monsoon drains to catch guppies....but those days were fun.

Kept guppy,molly and fighting in them!!Also had a 2footer(why i still remember it had aluminium sides,silicon was in use already)

In this 2footer had a marine set up,UGF white sand live corals and got skimmer yes skimmer!!!!(using air driven-piece of wood,plastic with green coloured rings that hold it in place and a green coloured plastic screw to hold onto the tank).

There was pistol shrimps in it and boy was it irritating early in the morning.(these shrimps were collected by the beach)
