    Anyone knows where to go fish shopping in JB? Somewhere cheap (preferably) and with a good reputation? Or maybe I should ask first whether it would be worth the effort to do so (assuming that one brings types and amount of fish permitted by AVA)?

    I've been told that we can bring fish back from overseas but I'm not sure what the quantity is. Can someone refer us to the AVA guidelines for this? I go to JB and KL a lot too and would like to see if I can find some neat stuff there.

    According to AVA site:

    4. Can I bring ornamental fish into Singapore?
    A traveller may import up to 30 fish in not more than 3 litres of water or a mixture of the different varieties of ornamental aquatic organisms provided it does not exceed 5kg in total weight and must be within a traveller's limit for the various items. For details, please refer to AVA website at www.ava.gov.sg

    You know, I was there a few weeks ago and a friend took me to a pasat malam that had a fish stall. Can't tell you where cause I don't know, but I hear that they have those night markets in different areas every night of the week. This guy had a bunch of common fish, very interesting stuff, for quite cheap. But still...not cheap enough to justify the inconvenience of bringing them back unless you're driving.

    The only fish shop I know in Johor Bahru is at the Giant Hypermarket Southern City near Taman Suria. Have anyone been there before too?

    HAHAHA Not the dead one for sure. I mean the fish shop opposite to a barber shop (upper level). There are both freshwater and saltwater aquarium. I can't remember the name of the shop though.

    There's a market in KL with lots of streetside fish stores. I used to go there a lot when I visited my aunt and we were stocking her pond. Prices are ok...RM makes it great. 8-)

    stormz i don't think that you should say it out as some things are best to be kept secret. of course those who keeps fishes long enough will know when the person is selling just bought fishes
