Video Summary
AI GeneratedA comprehensive tour of \"Once Upon a Stream,\" a specialty aquarium shop in Singapore. The video explores a vast array of exotic aquatic life, focusing heavily on the diverse species of Sulawesi shrimp, brackish and marine creatures, specialized crabs, and various Pleco fish, while providing expert guidance on tank setups, breeding challenges, and maintenance.
Today, I'm going to be taking you guys inside this aquarium shop
and this place full of exotic fish, crabs and shrimp,
many of which I've never seen anywhere else in the world.
Located in the center of Singapore,
it's called Once Upon a Shrimp and just right behind me.
Welcome to Once Upon a Shrimp.
This is Daniel, the owner, and today he's going to give us a full tour of his amazing store.
So this is the Orange Eye.
Orange Eye White Socks.
So the Orange Eye is just another variant.
If you are confident with keeping strawberries seeds already,
this is the next step, keeping some orange eyes,
so that from far or from near, they will not shy away.
Oh, so they don't shy you?
Yes, because they are blind.
They're blind? Oh, really?
Oh, that's because they have orange eyes.
That's just a good combination because I know normally white socks,
they kind of freak out when you go close to the tank.
So these are the non-shy white socks.
This tank is a mixture.
We have some Better Great Galaxy and we have some White Eye Mini Blue.
So they are just a bit different on the eye.
So the front part of the eye is white instead of the whole black.
Okay, and what is in the next tank here?
Okay, this is still normal white socks.
Okay, this tank is just that I'm more female inside.
Okay.
Yeah, a lot of customers told me they cannot sex strawberries seeds
because they are not like Caridina, you can see from the filler or the shell.
If you want to really sex them, male or female, it's really hard.
Even if you are an expert, more female mainly, you have a higher chance to get female here.
I can see there's a lot of them there in the corner.
Just look at this.
May I ask you about your Sulawesi shrimp tank setup?
How do you make them? I can see you have like a dark substrate.
This is our own in-house lava rock.
They are 1mm below.
Normal lava rock that you buy in the market should be like at least 1-3mm.
So it's very hard to get this fine lava rock.
This is our special in-house product that we always have it.
And you have some media inside the UGF as well, yeah?
So you prefer UGF filtration, underground filtration, right?
We have tried filterless, just a bubble to keep sunlight is okay.
Yeah, I can see you don't have any moss, you don't have any rocks,
you just have a substrate so you can easily see and find the shrimp.
Because I know the Sulawesi, they're normally hiding, right?
Yes.
So whatever you put there, they're going to hide behind there.
And this is the bigger tank setup, yeah?
You have exactly the same, just a large UGF with two outtakes.
And you have a little bit of Chola wood here, yeah?
So what are they here?
These are Blue Ghosts.
Blue Ghosts?
Mutated from White Socks.
Okay.
Yeah, so originally they are White Socks.
Someone breed it and become Blue Ghosts.
And how much are they?
They are $24 each.
Okay, they're quite rare, right?
Not so common, yeah.
That's why it's quite expensive, yeah.
Are they full-size or are they babies still?
Less than a month will be adult.
Okay.
This is almost adult juvenile.
What here in this tank we have?
This is Snow Zebra.
Okay.
So for Snow Zebra, they are easier to adapt.
So it's okay to keep them with Neocaridina.
So you don't need to have a Sulawesi's parameter to keep them.
You can keep them in Neotank.
And how much are they?
They are $3 each and they are locally breed by me.
And what we have here at the bottom tank?
Okay, this is Snow 4 White Socks.
Okay, we call them Snow 4 because the spots is bigger like the Snow 4 on them.
Yeah, so they are also captive breed.
So normal White Socks, you can see their spot is smaller, more tiny.
So this is very big.
So they are good for top view.
What we have in this tank?
Some algae eater, some common short-nosed, red-nosed.
Okay, and this is also Sulawesi's shrimp?
No, they are not Sulawesi's shrimp.
Oh, they're not Sulawesi's shrimp.
They are just normal shrimp.
They are algae eater.
So if there's no more algae, no more commercial food for them,
they start to eat the bloodleaf.
Here we have Red Lye.
I don't have much stock left, yeah.
Here is Mini Blue.
Mini Blue.
Oh yeah, there's quite a lot of them here.
I saw them before I trim a fair shelf, yeah.
Mini Blue, we always advise customer you can keep a few of them
because they can be a tester for you.
They are called Mini Blue.
Actually, they are dark color.
They are dark blue.
So if one day you saw their Mini Blue turn orange or transparent,
means that your water is no good.
Okay.
So they can be a very good indicator for your Sulawesi's tank.
Okay, these are Tri-Spot or we can call them Tri-Spot Red.
They are mainly red with a few white dots.
So they are just another species.
So there's nothing much about them.
Yeah.
We move on to the bigger tank here at the bottom.
And here we have another tank with White Sox, right?
Yes.
All Sulawesi's keepers, we always start with White Sox
because they are the most basic.
Yes.
They have a brighter range of adapting your water parameter.
And better to get their White Sox with orange eyes so they don't see you.
Yeah.
And they don't freak out.
So White Sox, for beginner, we already try to lower the price to $150.
Yeah.
So for beginner, it's easier for them to start and test your water.
We have the Yellow family here.
Inside.
It's like Yellow Cheek and Yellow Nose.
Yellow Cheek, Yellow Stripe, Yellow Nose.
Okay, yes.
But right now, I don't have Yellow Nose.
You don't have Yellow Nose.
So right now, only left Yellow Cheek and Yellow Stripe.
Yellow Cheek will be three short stripes on the body with some dots.
Okay.
And Yellow Stripe will be just two lines.
One short and one long without a dot.
So this is how we differentiate the Yellow family.
And Yellow Nose is different because Yellow Nose, the feeder is white.
So it's very obvious to see the three of them here.
This is Red Line, Blue Dot.
Okay, so Red Line, there's three types, three species.
Basic Red Line, they are bigger in size.
Red Line, Blue Dot and Red Line, Yellow Tail, they are smaller in size.
Harley Quinn.
This Harley Quinn can say is the most unique pattern among shrimp.
So this is also the shrimp that I fall in love before I start this hobby.
Because I don't see any shrimp like them with the white colour band.
This way and this way, like a T.
So this is very unique about them.
But Harley Quinn is not easy to keep.
So you must be a really mature keeper for suavecies before you start on them.
Minor changes might affect them to die.
Yeah, I understand.
What's your water temperature in your tanks?
Okay, my temperature in tank is 28 to 30 degrees.
If you want to put heater for them, we advise you to divide the water
and heat separately.
These shrimp, they are sensitive.
If they stand on the heater, it might cause them some shock and they will die.
So we advise people to put partition before you put the heater.
Heat inside.
Prevent the shrimp from going over.
Yeah, so you don't have an aircon here, just a...
Normal temperature, normal Singapore temperature.
Normal Singapore temperature, which is 28, 30.
Yes, okay, they can go as low as 22 degrees.
22, yeah.
Yes, but we still advise to keep them at least about 26.
When you go lower, you will reduce their breeding rate.
So what do we have here inside this tank?
Okay, this is tigress.
Tigress, yeah.
Tigress may look alike from harlequin.
So they both have this white band around them.
Just that after the white band, harlequin is a straight T and tigress is striped.
And tigress is slightly bigger than harlequin by 1-2 mm.
And the main difference is harlequin don't ever walk around.
You can see them standing at the same place every day.
Actually you can name your harlequin, every day they will stand at the same spot.
But tigress, they will walk around.
But here we have, in this tank.
This is red orchid.
There's three orchid family in Sulawesi.
White orchid, red orchid and zebra orchid.
Red orchid and zebra orchid, they belong to the harder species.
So they are not as easy as white orchid.
Yeah, so the next tank you have a zebra orchid, yeah?
How to differentiate a zebra and a red orchid?
Red orchid, they have repeated pattern.
So the pattern from the body to the tail, all is the same.
It's just striped and dark, striped and dark.
For zebra, it's a bit different.
Zebra is more to like tiger stripe.
They are messy and they have a white band at the tail.
So we always look at the white band to make sure that they are zebra orchid.
Is there anything in this tank?
Yeah, pink bolster.
You can see they're very transparent, very difficult to see them.
Some call them kai pa, some say they are like queen kung fu.
Actually they are not like fan shrimp.
Fan shrimp, they have the thing to fan.
But actually pink bolster is just still picking up food and feeding.
Just that their action is very big.
So this is the way they're picking up the food.
They look like they're punching, right?
Yes, and they pick very fast.
So the difference between a normal shrimp and a pink bolster is,
normal shrimp, they put their food in front of them and they pick and feed.
But pink bolster put it underneath them.
Okay.
So they pick underneath my body and feed.
That's why they got this big action.
Okay, I see.
This is a blueleg poso.
Blueleg poso.
So that's another beginner friendly, no?
Yes, beginner friendly.
For sula, we always categorize them in three types.
The hiding ones, the moving around, and the swimming ones.
So blueleg poso are the swimming ones.
When you have a big tank, you keep them, you will see them swim around.
Rather than hiding at a corner like a white sox or harlequin.
So you are those that prefer bigger size and they will swim around, interact.
And they don't afraid of you when you go near them.
Blueleg poso is a choice for you.
You see some is pink.
Yes.
Okay, so this species is very unique actually.
When they turn pink, this week is their molting period.
So the week before they molt, they will turn pink.
After they molt finish, they turn blue again.
So you can predict which female is going to pregnant.
They got 30 eggs and they can breed every three weeks.
Every three weeks.
Yeah, they are very fast.
So you see them, do they choke out the eggs, right?
Less than one week, you see them pregnant again.
Very fast breeders, yeah?
Yeah, very fast breeder.
How you grow the biofilm and green moss?
Actually, we don't do the green wall like Caridina for our Sulawesi.
All this actually because of normal light, they have slight green.
Yeah, it's just a naturally grow, yeah?
So you don't do anything.
We don't purposely grow.
Yeah, you don't purposely grow.
And you can still have a nice, some of them has just a brown, some of them greenish brown.
So this is, I believe this is quite important for shrimp, right?
So they feed on it as well, yeah?
For Sulawesi, slightly a bit different.
Some hobbies people, they say that they need to breed a lot of green wall for the Sulawesi to feed on.
But for me, my personal view, actually I don't prefer very green wall.
The reason why, Sulawesi, they are small feeder.
They eat very little.
So if you can counter your green wall versus their feeding, it's okay.
Means they can finish the algae.
But what if you have lesser Sulawesi and your green wall grow faster?
So you have problem with the water parameter.
And later on, you will start to crash due to the changes of, because of too much algae, all this.
So we always advise our customer, we don't purposely grow the algae.
If there's algae, we leave it.
People will ask me, do Sulawesi die due to on-off the light?
Yes.
This is no.
No.
I can show you.
Okay, okay.
I just off and off and on the light.
Oh, they absorb.
Fine.
There's no reaction.
Yes.
So you don't need to be worrying about.
If Sulawesi is fully adept to your tank, they are okay.
They do the movement of walking around.
They will not stress due to on-off light.
But if a new Sulawesi that you just bring into your tank, they are still under stress.
They haven't adapted to your water.
You on-off light or you do anything, they will stress and they will die.
So actually, it's due to the Sulawesi itself is still under stress.
Okay.
It's not due to your on-off of light.
Yeah, I see.
Okay.
So how many times do you feed them?
Just once a day?
There's no more, yeah?
For Sulawesi, normally we don't feed them daily.
Okay.
They are small eater.
Actually, they don't need to feed every day.
Three times a week.
And what a change to do.
What a change for them.
How much water change is based on how many pieces you have in the tank.
So example, a one-feet tank.
If you have less than 50 pieces, maybe about 20, 30 pieces, you do water each every two months.
10% only, yeah?
Yes.
If you have more than 50 pieces, maybe 50 to 100 pieces, then you do every month.
Wow.
Yeah.
So if you have more than 100 pieces, then you can do every three weeks.
Every three weeks.
If it's a lot of shrimp, yeah?
Yeah, correct.
So the next rock.
Neocaridina.
Oh, Neocaridina here.
So here we have a blue jelly.
I can see you have the same setup for Neocaridina.
They're exactly the same thing.
Same setup, yeah?
Yeah.
Singapore is paradise for shrimp keepers.
That's what I say.
Because the prices are low.
You have a big choice.
And you have so many lovely shops with the beautiful shrimp.
So here you have orange sand shrimp, yeah?
With some beautiful snails.
What they are?
Are they rabbit snails?
Ah, yes.
Rabbit snails.
Rabbit snails, yeah?
We don't advise rabbit snails for sewerage system.
But it's okay if you put them in Neocaridina.
Let's now move to the next rock.
I know this is very exotic creatures here.
They are actually marine shrimp.
So we try to test on lower the sanity to nail the blackfish.
And try to keep the shrimp alive.
I can see you have lots of interesting creatures.
We're going to get back to them.
So you're basically keeping marine shrimp in brackish water, yeah?
Yes.
Why you don't keep them in salted water?
Is it easier?
Okay, you keep them in marine sanity.
You need a protein skimmer to clean your water.
Because the water will get bad easily.
So you keep them in less sanity.
It can last longer.
So you can manually change the water.
Okay, so it's much easier to do that.
Yes, much easier.
What do you have in this tank?
I can see some kind of shrimp.
But very interesting shrimp.
This is called sexy shrimp.
They are always like shaking their butt.
Their butt is always above their head.
Yes.
And it's very fun to look at them when you feed them.
So they will run towards the food.
And they will start to shake their butt.
Wow.
Can you breed them in brackish water?
Okay, like normal shrimp.
They will hatch.
They will give out the baby.
But the problem is how to grow the baby.
For brackish, they come out as shrimp blood.
It's like a lava.
Yes, the lava will float to the surface.
And trap on the surface and lie there.
So you need to have a round, like a jellyfish tank.
So you can maintain the lava in the water.
And they do feed on green water.
It's the same, basically, like a monoshrimp, yeah?
Correct, yes.
I know, I tried once.
I failed.
It's very complicated.
It's very challenging.
So yeah, this is exactly the same.
So that's why it's mostly for keeping, not for breeding, yeah?
If you're using brackish water, yeah?
Yeah, let's move on to the next one.
Here we have camel shrimp, yeah?
They are also marine shrimp.
Unique about them is doing the way they walk.
They are like drunken shrimp.
They walk left, walk right.
They can never walk straight.
So they look like, the back look like a camel.
That's why they are called camel shrimp.
Okay, so you also cannot breed them, right?
Same, all brackish are same.
So this one is?
Cleaner shrimp.
Cleaner shrimp, yeah?
Very beautiful.
Very long antennas, yeah?
Good thing about cleaner shrimp is,
when you put your hand into the tank,
they'll start to clean your hand for you.
They'll eat away the dead skin for you.
Okay.
So this is a shrimp that you can interact with them.
Yeah, nice.
And you have a?
Starfish.
Starfish here, wow.
Nice, and I can see its movement.
It's like a little, what is it called?
Little antennas, I don't know.
Something moving here.
So the starfish, you normally keep in marine aquarium, yeah?
For brackish setup, starfish is the hardest.
So once you're familiar with the shrimp,
the snail, the crab, the last is starfish.
Because they are more harder to keep for the water parameter.
The sanity slightly drop a bit, they will melt.
So they can just melt?
Yes.
Just disappear?
Because other brackish, right,
it's already at the bottom line for them, the sanity.
They are like snail, they're moving around the tank, yeah?
Yes, they move around.
Very slowly, yeah?
And they clean the algae as well.
Correct, they clean the wall for you.
Why this shrimp called cleaner shrimp?
Is it cleaning algae very well?
They are doctor shrimp.
Yeah.
So in a marine, in the water, right,
they will clean the teeth for the fish.
Oh, okay.
That's why they are called doctor shrimp.
That's interesting, yeah.
Very, very curious shrimp as well.
It's coming here just towards me now.
And here?
Fire shrimp.
Wow, that's a huge one.
Also marine shrimp.
That would be nice to breed them, yeah?
In brackish water, that would be cool.
And you have some snails as well.
It's like a marine snails, yeah?
Correct.
Yeah, very funny shape, like triangle.
This one as well.
Is it a snail?
This is this.
Oh, covey snail, yeah?
A lot of people pick the shell to make their necklace.
Oh, yes.
Wow, very interesting creatures here.
I've never seen that before, yeah?
Fire shrimp is very common in a marine tank
because they are bigger in size,
so they are safe to keep with fish.
Okay, so fish never eat them because they're too big, yeah?
Yes, because they can grow up to seven cm.
It's quite big, yeah?
I wish caridina shrimp would be big like that.
Wow, that's a very interesting tank.
Look at this.
So many crabs here.
What they are?
These are mini crabs.
Yeah.
Okay, we know that most of the crab is land crab
that we keep in aquarium.
So mini crab is can say is fully aquatic.
You can see even I put the wood,
not much of them come out of water.
Yes.
Yeah, most of them.
So they don't like to get to the surface, right?
Yeah, they don't like.
And they are very friendly.
You can keep a lot of them
and they are safe to be kept together.
And what do you feed them?
Just normal food?
They feed on normal commercial food.
They also feed on dead shrimp.
Sometimes if I got dead shrimp,
I'll just throw it into them.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can they breathe?
I've never seen one before.
Oh, I've never seen them breathing before, yeah?
In Singapore dollars.
That's insane.
Never seen that before.
That's so cute, wow.
You can just grab them in your hand.
This crab is child safe.
Children is safe to play with them
because they don't bite, they don't pinch.
Oh, they're very friendly, yeah?
Yeah, they are super friendly.
So this is a female one.
The female one, the pincer is very small.
See, the pincer is very small.
So the male one, yeah, this is the male.
So the male have a bigger pincer.
Oh, okay.
And the face is pink.
So they look like a fender crab
because of the eye popping out.
But you can see both hands are the same size.
Oh, okay.
So they are not fender crab.
Those, if you have kept before,
vampire crab, boneo crab or rainbow crab,
you'll know what's the difference with this crab.
Those crabs, you cannot keep too many together.
They need access to the surface.
They need 60% land and 40% water for land crab.
Yes, yes.
This is the third choice for fully aquatic crab.
The first one is the common pompom crab,
Thai micro crab,
rendang crab, not so popular because of the size.
So this is the next one, yeah.
And they're not shy.
That's what I like.
And they don't actually dig.
So you are safe with your plant.
So here you have a...
We call them cage shrimp.
So, yeah, one is here.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's very brown.
These shrimp, they are shy and they run very fast.
Okay.
Yeah.
And you have some snails as well.
Yeah.
Also marine snail.
This snail here is very good for cleaning below the substrate.
So they will move underneath the substrate
with some, like, a tanner above it
and they'll clean the underneath.
Okay, this is opah ula.
Opah ula, yeah.
The most common in the market.
This shrimp is fully grown right now, yeah?
Fully grown is here.
Is here, yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
These are the larva.
So they breed as a larva as well?
Yes, you are able to breed them.
This one is no problem to breed, yeah?
Yes, no problem to breed, yeah.
Yeah.
And they breed quite well, yeah?
Okay, these shrimp, because of the lifespan,
they are longer lifespan.
They can live 20 years.
20 years?
Yes.
For opah ula, they can live 20 years.
So because of the long lifespan, the growth speed is low.
Okay.
So for opah ula, from baby to adult, take nine months.
Wow.
Yeah, so you can't rush on this.
You just need to keep them long enough, but they are very hardy.
Okay.
Yeah, so among all the shrimp, this is the easiest to keep.
Do you deal with water change in these tanks?
Okay, for water change, the package is slightly different.
Okay.
Because we can see the surface of the water.
If there's a lot of bubbles like this, small bubbles,
that means it's indication that we need to change the water surface.
Okay.
Because of the sanity, most of the dirt will float up to the surface.
So we just change the top of the water.
So it's the same, we change 10% of it.
I don't really have a schedule on this.
So normally when I see a lot of bubbles,
that is the indication that I need to change the water.
So normally about every one to two months,
then I'll need to change 10% of the water.
Okay, so what we have here in this tank, opah ula as well.
This is alpha opah ula.
Wow, it's quite expensive, almost $100, yeah?
Opah ula is common.
We can catch them, but alpha is not common
because we cannot go into their habitat.
What's the difference between them?
Okay, you can see the hand, they have the pincer.
They are like mini crayfish.
Ah, okay, okay.
Well, they're big enough.
They're big like Neocaridina caridina.
Yeah, they're big enough.
So they're bigger than standard ones then?
Correct.
The difference is the way they work.
I don't know how to explain,
but you see the way they work and opah ula is different.
Yeah, wow, that's cool.
They move very fast.
Can they breed?
Yeah, right now no known record that they're a success.
So only opah ula we can breed.
Alpha not yet a success.
Okay, but you're trying, yeah?
Yeah, we are trying.
They can live 15 years.
15 years, yeah, also.
Wow.
And they are very hardy also.
Also very hardy, yeah?
They only come from nature, yeah?
They come from Hawaii.
Hawaii, yeah?
Yeah.
That's why they're expensive, yeah?
They're basically caught in Hawaii
and then bring to Singapore.
But this is much bigger one, yeah?
I wish you can breed them like these ones.
Then that become another part of the hobby.
So you have one berry shrimp here.
So you're trying to breed them, right?
Yes.
I hope one day you can do that, yeah?
That would be very awesome, yeah?
So here is, I've got one pom-pom crab here.
Crab is called pom-pom crab
because they are holding two pom-poms.
Ah, yes, yes.
The pom-pom is actually a crawler.
This crab, when they are young,
they will try and pick crawler for self-defense.
Wow.
Yeah, so that the fish, they're not near them.
Okay, I see.
So they don't move too much or they just...
When they move, they will be like shaking the pom-pom.
That's how their name come from.
Sand crab.
Sand crab, yeah?
You don't need to keep it in the water, yes?
Okay, this is mini of the nature how they live.
They dig a tunnel in the sand and they stay inside.
So when they want to feed,
they will come out of the tunnel
and they start to feed on the sand.
You can see?
Yeah.
Okay, this sand crab a bit different from the rest.
It's a must to have sand.
So they'll pick the sand and lick the sand.
Okay.
So you feed them food they don't eat.
Oh, right.
Yeah, so you need to put powder food.
On sand?
Yes, so normally I will wet the powder food in water
and then drip it in the sand.
So the crab will pick the sand, lick the sand and throw out clean.
Okay, so it's cleaning the sand.
Yes, correct.
That's why they call sand crab.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there's no need to cycle tank or anything to keep them
because you just need to have sand and you wet the sand.
So you're also selling fish?
I import fishes myself.
So you can see that I have a lot of them inside one tank.
So they are always hungry.
They're always hungry.
Mickey Mouse patty.
So the tail look like a Mickey Mouse head.
Wow, interesting.
So these are the common Amber Tetra.
Also very friendly fish, yeah?
They're very hungry as well.
Only one Singapore dollar for one fish.
This is Kitty Tetra.
Kitty Tetra, yeah?
Nice, interesting.
Lemon Tetra.
Lemon Tetra, yes.
Oh, I actually had them before, Lemon Tetras.
Yeah.
So there's a few breed of Lemon Tetras.
These are the most basic.
The higher breed will have more yellow.
Also one Singapore dollar, yeah?
Pencil fish.
Pencil fish, yeah?
Yeah, Pencil fish.
Sardine Tetra, yes?
So below we have Columbia Redfin.
Also one Singapore dollar.
Yes, also one dollar.
Yeah.
And here?
Here is the pup.
Cherry pup.
These are more to like a strong current fish.
So you can have a big current and they will try to swim against the current.
Okay, this fish we call them Blueberry Tetra.
Some people call them Wada.
You see I put a rainbow light.
It's because these fish, they will change colour based on your lighting.
So you can see they turn green, they turn yellow.
Yeah, what here?
This is Balloon Penguin.
Balloon Penguin.
Normal penguin is not this shape.
So these are some man-made penguin.
Nice, I've never seen that before actually.
Balloon Penguin, yeah?
We also have Pecko.
These are some of the common Pecko, L333.
L333, yeah?
Why all Pecko has a number in the name?
Yes.
Why?
Okay, because the scientific name for Pecko is very hard to remember.
It's very long.
So most of the Pecko, we name them according to the number.
Yeah.
So these are the most common one, L333.
Yeah.
Why are they common?
Because they are easier to take care.
And so I know that Pecko is quite expensive.
So this one, common one, how much they cost?
Okay, for normal one is $30 for the L333.
These are slight defect.
So I selling at half price, $15.
Only $15?
Yeah, because they have some defect on the fins and the body.
Oh, here you have also blackness.
Also the same, yeah?
Inside these caves.
Nice caves actually.
Yeah.
So what do you have here?
We have L46.
So this is our breeding, our baby, our breeding tank.
Yeah, so we do have a lot of L46.
We breed and then we can sell.
We can export also.
They're quite expensive, L46.
So this is just normal.
I have no idea about them.
Among Pecko, because some Pecko, they need a cert to be able to export.
So L46 is one of them.
So without the CIT cert, you cannot export L46.
Okay.
What do you have here?
This is L136C.
Okay.
L136 because they have different grade, A, B, C.
So C is the highest grade.
So the spot is bigger.
Okay.
So how do you breed them?
You just need to provide them with hiding space and they breed by themselves, yeah?
This is common.
This is like housing for them.
But to breed them, they need a cave.
They need a cave, yeah?
Yeah, so they need a cave.
So the male fish will guard the cave.
Okay.
So when they are ready, they will let the female go in.
Then they will trap the female inside.
And force the female to lay eggs.
Then after they finish, they will let the female come out.
The male will go in and fertilize the egg.
Okay.
And the male is the one that will handle the baby.
Oh, really?
Will take care of all the baby process.
So for us, then we are the one that we need.
When you see we have, once they are ready, you need to take out the baby.
Okay.
What is this plaque?
L136C.
L136C, yeah?
Okay.
So there's a few babies here inside, yeah?
So this is where you breed them, yeah?
Yeah.
Inside this cave, yeah?
One pair inside one tank.
Oh, okay.
So one pair inside one tank, yeah?
You can see that they are breeding.
So now they're breeding here inside the cave, yeah?
Well, two of them there, yeah?
So how do you see they're breeding?
So the male will shiver and wave the tail.
Oh, okay, okay.
Nice.
So they're going to make some more little babies, yeah?
Right.
And who is there?
This one more female.
Ah, you have two females for one male, yeah?
Nice.
What do you have here?
Are you trying to breed them this way?
How they breed?
They just lay the eggs?
One male, one female.
They will just...
The female will clean the floor and lay eggs on the floor.
On the floor, yeah?
And you're just waiting for them to start spawning, yeah?
Look like a pistil fish, you know?
Similar, yeah?
Yeah, they are one type of pistil.
Okay.
Why you have the name Once Upon a Stream?
I started this business from shrimp.
Yes.
So it's like a sudden, I have an interest in shrimp and I started this business.
So I named it as Once Upon a Stream.
Once Upon a Stream.
So it should be happy ever after.
Yeah, that was the second part.
Nice.
