Fish farms' adventure

Mr FAT and I brought my little sista along with us to visit the fish farms at Lim Chu Kang last Saturday.

To date, we have covered Chua Chu Kang, Lim Chu Kang fish farms. We will be going to Pasir Ris and Yio Chu Kang fish farms over the next two weekends... :P

It was exciting 'sight-seeing' trip for mr FAT and an interesting educational trip for my sis...but for me .....yawnz...I m not a fish lover!

But I kept myself entertained, looking out for unique fishes while mr FAT and my sis indulged themselves in the galaxy of fishes....

...like the one in the photo with my sis...

You can't see it clearly but it's a huge pomfret-lookalike fish!

Do you know you have to pay at least $600 for a small stingray (live one, not cooked one)?

We also saw a live freshwater fish the size of a crocodile in a gigantic water tank protected with metal caging. I dunno if the metal caging is there to protect the fish or to protect us from the big fish!

There are these "Ghost Knife" fishes which look like black feathers in the water...eerie...

And a black 'sucker' fish (you know those type which eats fungi and other rubbish in your fishtanks) the size of a mini vaccum cleaner!

Those expensive $30 - $80 white and red micro mini prawns..even smaller than 'hei bi'!!!!

real dumb to rear these prawns coz they need a certain temperature to survive and you have to go real close to the fish tanks to spot them.

Those crazy fish farm people even 'tattooed' the fishes with red and blue ink and called them rainbow fishes...imagine a parrot fish with lipstick and blue and red stripes running across their scales...ewws!

You also see water hermit crabs with colour-painted shells...red and black webby spiderman shell, turtle green shell etc...

The most absurb was the arowanas...the deformed ones (the entire tail-body bending down 90 degrees) can fetch up to $2,888, even more expensive than the normal ones...Arowanas lovers see that as a unique breed to rear...poor fishes...evil fish farmers...pervertish arowana lovers

I wished I could take photos of all those strange fishes but I did not dare to do so under the watchful eyes of the fish farm people...

I would try taking some photos in my next trip to the farms...
