[Asgard]

Hurrrrry..... up please! Dont keep us waiting!

[lucasjiang]

hope u did go to the fish street there. is is really a place that is not to be missed. they have all sorts of stuff, from star tortoises and iguanas to jumping spiders and cockroaches. they also stock stuff like newts, PNT, and all sorts of turtles. also many types of shrimps and snails.

How about equipment stuff, lighting, trimming tools and so on... or only faunas.

If you can include addresses and other information, we can add them to our LFS list.

normally i dont pay attention to equipment. but with 50+ shops over there, confirm have a lot of stuff.

[FC]

Below are some overview. Later, I will post about equipment that are not found (or I have not seen) in Singapore.

There about 50 or more shops packed side-by-side in this street. Now, that's the real dedicated aquatic street!

















This large pack of Amano soil listed at HK$120 or S$24. Is this good price?








How to get there?
It is in Kowloon District. Go to MTR station "Prince Edward" Exit B2. This will bring you to the starting and north most of the Tung Choi street.
Tips: At the end and south most of the street, you will be greeted with arrays of handphone shops selling at good bargain. Walk few steps further south, there starts the worth visiting Lady's Market.

Best season?
Mid Nov ~ end Jan when the weather is dry and cooling.

How long will the place keep you entertained?
The opening hours is 10am~10pm. For me, it can easily keep me happy for at least half a day. And if I need buy something, it would be full day.

Great pictures taken! Somehow different from others pictures shown here previously by others. Now i'm waiting for the hardware part. I'm going soon end of this month, really looking forward now. Thanks for sharing Feddy. More pictures please... Last picture the planted tank, the lighting is it Metal Halide? Is their voltage use same as Singapore?

[FC]

There are lots to see and I was having limited time to do so. I cannot remember but most shops with nice tanks go with MH light.

The infrastructure is very similar to Singapore as both were British colonies before. The voltage, plug/socket and the street system are the same.

too bad when i was in hongkong early this year i wasn't even thinking of starting a planted tank.. if not i'll surely be there go get some stuff!

i remember seeing some nice discus pair for only 98HKD which is less than $20SGD!!!

Pict 3,4 and 5 shows that even with limited space, one can do a very neat presentation of products. Singapore lfs got to learn from them

[zoombee]

seems quite stressful for the fish to be in the bag the whole day...

Went there end Nov 08 and saw one big tank very nice. It's decorated with beautiful rock and with mini pelia stick to the side of the wall. Look like the famous Gui Lin in China. I think they got a prize with this landscape. Too bad I did take a photo of it.

[FC]

I guess you are refering to this.

These MH lamps should be great for small tanks.


This UV lamp has water pump built in. Simply submerge it and turn on.


The tank cum regulator are high in quality and very reasonably priced.


I guess this is for marine use only


Fresh liver for discus
