After 30 years of business, OTF Aquarium Farm at Pasir Ris Farmway is shuttering for good.

According to their Facebook post on July 14, they are closing as the land it's on will be reclaimed for a government development project. Its last day of operations will be on July 17.

The 42-year-old owner, surnamed Wang, told Shin Min Daily News that the farm spans 2.4 hectares and they've been negotiating with the authorities for a lease extension since it ended in 2012.

He also had been hoping to relocate the business in recent years, but these plans were shelved because of the pandemic and the inability to find a decent new location.
