Project Description

Qian Hu Fish Farm is a global integrated ornamental fish service provider and manufacturer of aquarium and pet accessories, from Singapore.

As pioneers in breeding of Arowanas in Singapore, this publication, The Atlas of Singapore Arowanas showcases locally bred Arowanas and the history of the trade. This publication also explores the relationship between the fishes and the Yap brothers. (Owners of the farm)

The Aquarium Guide is a dual-language complimentary guidebook that explores and educates amateur fish keepers/hobbyists on setting up and maintaining an aquarium. A copy is given to customers who purchase Qian Hu's fishes from the farm or retail spaces.

Production Lesson(s)

I've learnt that even when you have felt that you have everything in line and ready for production, things might still happen and we should always stay focused and be adaptable to changes when realizing our concept into actual products.”
