That so called pearl shrimp from Japan is a local species, found in country parks in HK and of course the mainland China too.

If only here in Singapore we have something like this..... in Chinatown.
Chin Swee rd blk 34 2sty most shops are vacant and we can have a full fledged aquarium industry here.....if people come they will build it up.

Not much info on this shrimp, maybe the shop owner also not sure so anyhow label it.
Thank for clarify

Hi Zack, this shrimp are not as available as blue/tiger/bee/amano/cherry shrimp, so far only spot them at the shop where I took the photos. Sorry I cannot remember the shop. Anyway, the common name is call 星点珍珠虾, you can google around to find some info, cheers.

This street is actually Serangoon North Ave 1, its in the midst of upgrading and the Govt/Town Council (if I'm not wrong) is spending $3 Million or $30 Million on the upgrading. Have to google to find more news on the Pet's Street.

I was also in HK from 4 till 17 oktober,mostly I went to the Golden fish market after 19.00

It is not possible too take some with handcarry.....they will scan your handcarry when you go through the final checkpoint of the airport....

the best way to put it in you suitecase....

I bought ( 17 oct ...21.00 HK local time) some shrimps and put it in a little box( "polystyrene")....in my suitecase......no problem

They survive the whole trip ( I got the plain nest morning 18 oct at 10.15 ) 12 hour flight..... totaly about 30 hours....

Next year I will go in the summer....and try it again....

I was doing the same too, haha. They survive the whole trip but not after.

Yup, best is to keep it in a polystyrene box. That will "preserve" the temperature when the fishes are in the plane's cargo compartment. I will tend to wrap it with a layer of cotton towel before putting in to the box.
