get a snapping turtle
Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.

I was pretty active in the early 20s in guppy club singapore. Back then was really very with water change for over 30 tanks big and small.. On top of that, the many tau huey containers used to house the fries.

Here is my old setup. It is a HDB concept housing 20 tanks. Then there are quarantine tanks and hospital tanks. Lol.

This went on for a few years and i joined my first competition and this was wat i got.

now that im old and lazy, no more fishes for me loh..
