AS Downsize?

few months ago , went and saw they clearing their 4 ft tanks
at ridious low prices. Now they gave up one shop space.

Tmes are getting hard.

even many of my customer are trying to sell their fish tanks away.
I'm tying hard to clear for them but all buyers asking for super low prices.

times are difficult despite the S$8B package coming....

sigh *

Have to utilise the space, they should stop selling big tank that take up a lot of space, sell fish and feeders will do. I am aiming their red spike should there be a closing doen sale.

Nothing alarming IMO. Fishes are in terrible conditions most of the time, bad ventialtion in the lot selling livestocks, high pricing for normal fishes, bad customer service, poor knowledge in basic fishkeeping. I'm not surprised

agree with you. But they also Don't really have many big tanks. Their aquariums either empty or filled with same fishes. The red Pike over there for soo long already. Haha. If they have sale, I also want to try luck for it.

1)
Maybe AS area out of the way?
S$8B: Govt package for the old old generation.


2)
Better get from Clementi C328 - stocks move faster and much more variety.
Just like which chikcen rice stall u rather eat, fast moving ayams or hanging there long long 1?

Poor knowledge.I agree with you 1000x.wanted to buy internal filter for my 3 ft and he recommended that I get 2000l..I didn't really agree but he insisted and say confirm swee swee one.after plugging in,the fish all start to go round in circle.eventually had to empty that tank cause too strong already.the worse part is, even the fish is sick,they still sell at normal retail price.

Stopped visiting AS long time ago, their fishes are all housed in cramped conditions and looked sick... Quite a sad sight actually..
