    *Drooling*...

    Must save now! Planning for HK trip next year anyway for the Disneyland, but after seeing this, think I will need to save MUCH more!!

    Anyway, can anyone direct me to the AVA/ICA rules on brining in animals/plants to Singapore? I wanna print them out. Always tempted to buy overseas but always scared of trouble at customs...

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the sharing.
    The fish in the bag is not really a nice way for selling a fish...

    The plant name should be this :Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae

    My experience with this plant haven't been too good, growth is slow and grow BBA quite easily. I suppose cooler water will be better for this plant.

    100% AGREED

    Not only are there more range of equipments, and plants. But prices of equipments are generally 60% that of Singapore prices.
    Yup, me and my HK friend were both wondering those fish in the bags. How long can they last, with so little water and no proper filtration. Haiz...Actually didn't really bother with those fishes at all. More to those in decent tanks, plants and equipments.

    Just want to point out one thing. My HK friend had pointed out that Moss is one item that is not yet a big hit in HK yet. He's been to bioplast and colorful aquarium recently and was facinated by the range of moss there. Didn't see much moss during my trip to Tong Choi street too.
