Tyrone, ya gotta be pulling me leg... killifish farm in SG?? It'd be
shame on me hunting the world over, only to have it in my own backyard!!
Seriously though, a good number of fishfarms have been relocated due to
redevelopment of precious land and from I know, there aren't any killie
farms here. There was an instance of some farms importing ANNs from
Thailand but not for local sale... they were to be re-exported!!
If your friend still have the contact, please post so I can grab me
some... have a go with it and send ya the eggs ;o)

That's one tough bugger to maintain, even the adults. FWIW, I'm done
setting up a tank just for them and am waiting to buy the eggs. In the
meantime, I'll just have some platys in there for mosquito control.
