Awsome trip wasn't it? Did you go to the HK Aquarium Plaza thingy?

**kenneth_kpe** · 8th Feb 2007, 13:23

is that the one with the LCD monitors in front ? yup passed by that one too

equipment in HK isn't that cheap, is it cheaper in singapore ?

I got my ceramic diffusers for roughly 50-168 HKD each. nano -- 100 gal size

Hi Kenneth,

Very nice update of the "Goldfish Street" of Hong Kong.

By the way, the above picture says the "shrimp" shop is on the first floor. This shop also have lots of very nice Apistogramma spp. the last time I was there.

Cheers,

haha oops, in any case i still didn't go up... could't climb stairs, was it worth visiting for planted tank stuff ?

I think I went there almost the same time as you, you manage to take so many great photo. I didnt cause I stoped by a guy "no photo" at the shop where u took the pic no 6. (marine tank).

Than after that I didnt dare to take any photo in the shop. The plants there is super ex, almost a pot of E.tenellus cos about SGD 6-7 i guess. But equipment from ADA is opp, cheaper a lot than Singapore.

Well it actually depends on the type of plants. I got an E.Redflame(I think) for HK$10.Some of the common plants we see in Singapore are rather expensive over there. I hate the way some of the smaller shops pre-pack the fish and leave them to get picked up or die.

I like the way the fan is hanged on the tank. Wonder if a similar gadget can be found in Singapore.
