Our Marine Fishes

What a lovely Sunday afternoon...Feeling so bore!! Went to my Sengkang home..Guess what happened???? Looking into our marine fish tank @@ ...Poor thing, all my fishes did not pass away peacefully because all died due to the poison environment in the water. Only one poor and lonely fish was left inside. We decided to head to the Seletar Farmway to get more fishes to keep the lonely fish accompanied.

Without further, we left home without getting the address of the location and headed to buy the fishes. The only street name we had was Seletar Farmway 2. Thought my hubby was pretty familiar with that place as he used to live there. Guess what, we ended up walking the " Pulua Ubin" walk and came out at the other end of the farmway. Imagine walking the "Pulau Ubin" without water...Haiz..nearly died of thirst. We went to the nearby farm to check out on the exact location and realised it was further...further down the street where we were in. With our weak and tiring legs...we continued our search. Finally, we reached our destination. Saw the " Alantis " fish farm and checked it out inside but there was no marine fishes. Huh ??? Ask the guy in the shop and he told us that the shop has been closed for the past 2 weeks. "Wau Lau"..wasted hours of searching and it was closed :( So Sad...

We decided to head to the Pasir Ris Farmway instead. Hired a cab and went there. We couldn't find the fish shop we want, so we drop at one of the marine fish shop as our main priority was getting the fishes fast. Bought 3 "Nemos - Clown Fish, 2 Dori-Blue Tank and 1 yellow tank = $ 41 + 14 (taxi fare) ....Damn expensive. Average of 1 fish is $9... again so sad :( .....but happy as we were able to find accompany for our lonely fish left inside the tank.

We headed home happily and released the accompanies into the fish tank...though we were afraid that they may ended up in a battle. To my relief, they were able to communicate pretty well...Ahhah..How I know??? Anyway, no fight inside...just a little bit from the lonely fish to the new blues in the tank....Now my tank fill are with colours...Yellow, Blue, Orangees....Yeh....Yeh...Saw that all the fishes had settled down and we headed to our in laws house to change for the wedding of my hubby's cousin.

After the wedding dinner, we were still not comfortable whether the fishes can survived in the new environment, so we decided to go over to check it out. So far so good...jus a few white spots on the blue tanks bodies.Guess the water is not good for the tanks....anyway, was comfortable to see them well and left home.

Next morning, we went over to have a look again, to our horror my 3 favourite Nemo pass away. So sad again......I threw away the animony and the dead fishes.....and also felt relief that my blue tank is well swimming inside.
