    Hi bros,

    I'll be heading to Hong Kong this weekend and might pass by tung choi street . Any idea what stuff are worth buying and how do I bring live shrimps back to Singapore.

    I understand that based on AVA regulation we can only bring back less then 30 piece of them in a 3 litre container.

    Please share your success story on containing and transporting them safely to Singapore

    Hi Lerai... I will be heading to Hong Kong Tung Choi next Saturday.... Hahahaa....

    Try getting the LED lighting, filter and accessories... It's cheap there....

    Just dump them into the luggage bag, and if the amount is less than $100, no need declare G.S.T also...

    Good Deal!

    don't get aquasoil, not worth the weight. Get their tools like scissor, twizzer, drop checker, etc

    Was thinking of getting 60-P there but doubt I can safely bring it back in one piece. Better standby more cash xD

    AVA never mentioned anything about aquatic plants. Just no potted plants with soil.

    Yes the entire stretch of Tung Choi St, its very distracting, some life stock are forbidden fruit.

    You can get plants back in Singapore by placing them in a damp plastic bag without much water. Place them in your check in luggage..
