Visit to aquariums in Vietnam

[keithtang]

There are many aquarium in Ho Chi Minh City and i have visit some of them,
Interesting to find that there are many Planted tanks around nicely set up.
And one interesting finding is that the feeders they are selling in every shop.
1st i found Mosquito rasboras being sold as feeders.And today i found that Malayan shrimps mix with Red nose Pinokio shrimp as feeders.And the cost so
expensive in Singapore. Don't know what i am going to find next???Will update you all soon.....

It'll be great if you can get addresses as well and post some entries to our LFS directory.

Keith,

Where is the aquarium located in Vietnam? HCMC or outside. I know one on the way to the Airport in HCMC. Its a corner one on the right hand side if you are going towards the airport.

Can you share the location? I go to HCMC very often.

Regards,

Daniel

I read from the Straits Times recently that there was a 'Fish Street' in District 3, HCM wherever that is? It doesn't mention the street name. I've been to HCM once and the place was peppered with Louhan and Aro shops. I also came across a shop with nothing but moss on driftwood! Tried asking my local counterpart but drew a blank(maybe).

Hi zQ, I will be going to Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh) this weekend (13-15 Oct). Not sure if I have the time for shooping around at LFS overthere. I will be staying at Amara Hotel, le van sy street, district 3, ho chi mind city. How close is it to the Nguyen Thong in District 3? same district. How much roughly to go there from my hotel by taxi? Thanks

[zQ.]

Nguyễn Thông Street is 3km far from Amara hotel.Just ask the cab driver to take you to the fish market Nguyen Thong.

[uklau]

Robert, get a map from the hotel & travel around in cab. The taxi fare is dirt cheap. Enjoy!

[zQ.]

Yes it is much cheaper than cab fee in Singapore,just 1/2 S$ for 1km.

[Shadow]

OK, will do that. 3km is quite close, walking distance.

[zQ.]

Aww man,watch out !
you can be lost if you walking there.

[Shadow]

ouch... that bad? ok thanks for the advice.
