The global lockdown has clearly put a strain on the average Local Fish Shop (LFS).
Even once the shops were allowed to open again here in Malaysia most of my LFS's had little in the way of fish or live plants.
Some weeks later and we are finally seeing signs the supply chain is coming back together with many stores now having new stock.
What I've found most interesting is the "strange fish" that are appearing.
I think with limited choice at the wholesaler, and their stock favourites still unavailable, our LFS's are branching out and displaying fish they would not otherwise have bothered with.
This week I came across some nice Galaxy Rasbora (rarely seen), some horribly deformed 'bubble' Opaline Gourami, and these rather charming Leopard Bush Fish.
Anything unusual turned up where you are?
