Thar be Fishies and Crustaceans

Today's the first night off that I've had in a long while. My days are usually packed with work, projects, meetings and work. Taking full advantage of this rare opportunity, I arranged for a dinner date with a friend to catch up.

While waiting for him, I decided to pop by the aquarium at Plaza Singapura. Not for more fish, mind you. I just added four female Siamese fighting fish into my tank. Beauties, they are! Though I think the bunch of them have been fighting. Just among themselves. The rest of the inhabitants didn't seem too bothered by their new tank mates.
Perhaps they had a disagreement over who would have the last scoop of Ben&Jerry's ice cream from Free Scoop Day.

Anyways, I was just to browse around and kill some time. I was delighted to find quite tanks full of shrimps and crayfish (as you can see from my very nifty header image). I've never quite had success with caring for them but one can always admire with great envy from afar.

So... moving round the aquarium, I found this very cute box fish that was struggling to avoid the piercing gaze of my camera phone. No, like seriously. It was just hovering over there till I took out my camera phone and started shooting.
Then there was this tank full of clown loaches. One of my first loves. You have no idea on how happy I was or how long I squatted there, staring at the little colony.
Anyways, my dinner date arrived soon after this video shot and that marked the end of my fish viewing.
