It is with much sadness that I found out Lam Hong Acquarium has stopped its business. Many remember Lam Hong Acquarium as a local fish shop in Ang Moh Kio....famous for its aros and rays. I remember Lam Hong when it first started business in the 1960's... the shop was just outside Pierce Reservoir, along Thomson Road directly opposite the 3 Petrol Stations. I vividly remember the placing of all the various tanks in neat rows where the various ornamental fishes like goldfishes,mollies,red tail,kissing fish,angel fish,tetras,tiger barb etc etc were placed. Peter the boss...the tall langky guy who can be very rude to his customers and yet very helpful at the same time, was very systematic in the way he displayed his fishes.
I have lost touch with Peter since my youth(Seventies) and two years ago, together with a friend shopping for aros, we dropped by Lam Hong Acquarium. Peter with that old sparkle in his eyes still remember me.....I guess I must be one of his "golden oldies" back for a vist. Memories of the Seventies include legends like these....
The Seventies were all about justice, honour, righteouness and helping fellow beings etc etc etc...one of the many good reasons why the Seventies are remembered as the "Roaring Seventies".
It is with much difficulties that I managed to raise my Spawn C. Patience, frustration, hope, despair and tinkering here and there, I managed to keep a pool of bbrs/cbrs...hopefully I find some gems in them....and also hopefully they are not stunted as this is one of my most trying spawn.
