Mini Lobsters Fight in Aquarium

This pair of mini lobsters was given by 1 of my friend Jeremy in Kranji. They were the only 2 sole survivors lobsters given birth by 1of the many big lobsters in the 5feet aquarium.

Took the 2 lobsters out in a plastic bottle and survived the whole 3hrs journey from Kranji to Yishun, Woodlands then back to Jurong.

They dun seem to bother other fishes in the fish tank.However both of these lobsters fought and created some mess in my aquarium.

Female Guppy Gave Birth to Fries

As posted in my blog previously, bought a pair of Thailand mosaic* guppies at S$3 each.
*The name was from some of the Arofanatics Forum guppy experts.

Shortly the male mosaic guppy passed away for an unknown reason.
Fortunately the mosaic female  guppy is
still around. I thus put in 1 red male and a blue female guppy to accompany her.

I notice there are some guppy fries recently at least 8 spotted,
but I only managed to take a few shots below.

Not sure if the fries turn out to be mosaic or from the blue female guppy.

Guppies from Thailand

These guppies are bought at Jurong West

but sold out within a week or so!

The shop owner told me the tail is especially broad

but dun know the name of breed.

Bought a pair (male + female) in a 2 ft tank but

seem very quiet and dun really interact with each other.
