Fishy Saturday

I've a colleague who's into fish keeping too! But he's more HARDCORE! He has plecos (sucker fish) that's worth thousands of S$! His name is hank and he's gone from an aquarium customer to become one of the 5 importers of south american catfishes into taiwan. Imagine being a regular to a well known shop to become a supplier to them! Talking to him, I feel so excited (so excited that I can feel my hair standing) yet so ashamed of my poor knowledge on fishes.

Ok, met him on Saturday noon for lunch near office. Surprise, surprise! Saturday was a nice sunny day!

"The happening, "yo yo, check it out" place of Taipei, “东区”, loosely translated into "East Zone"

Sunny saturday, going to see fish, what can I complain? So E-X-C-I-T-E-D!

Ok, the first stretch of aquarium is just a warm up. The poorest shops are like the regular fish shops in singapore, the better ones are more specialised and do up their tanks nicely. But, too bad... no pics for u as the shops here forbid photography. They've got everything we got from Arowana to LuoHan to cichlids to guppies to fighting fish to reptiles to squirrels.

After an hour of walking around, Hank said these are just the boring shop. And he brought me to THE shop!

Well guys, I've got more pics to share, but it's late now and uploading pics to this site isn't easy either... I'll post somewhere and add a link in future. Stay tuned!
