The Craze

The Flowerhorn Craze in 2003 was a very interesting event, for it is rare that so much excitement can be stirred up by a single fish, and even rarer, stirred up by a "longkang" (the Hokkien word for "drain") fish! Right now in 2005, when we look back, the whole incident was really very funny and ironic, and reflects the weird mentality of Singaporeans. This section covers some information on the craze itself, the causes, its direct social and economical impact as well as the lessons we as Singaporeans have drawn from that incident.
Do you know?
Sucker fish are sometimes kept together with other fish because the sucker can serve as a cleaning agent - it feeds on other fish's waste.
