Check out hong Kong aquarium plaza while you're there.
Try visiting Tung Choi street in the afternoon or early evening when they are in full gear even though a few shops start super early or super late. Don't forget the shops on the upper floors as well.
thanks, what time does hong kong aquarium plaza open... if its also around 12ish then I have to find something else to do in the morning ! hehe

I've ever encountered 130pm opening time.. yes i think it's best to go during the afternoon even though most shops open around 1100hrs as what Benny mentioned.
There are plenty of shopping centres around.

ok
may be off topic, Is it legal to bring in fishes from HK along with? Do we need to get special clearance from customs while doing this? I'm planning for a short vacation in HK and thought to get some good specimens of Apistos.
in my country (Phillipines) you always need a permit to bring in live fishes... but there might be another problem with some airlines that do not allow liquid items to carried into the airplane...
Never create what you can't control
30 pieces packed in not more than 3 litres of water per person per trip but best to check with carrier and watch out for the liquid ban on hand carry luggage. Liquid bans may vary but I believe the ban may not be applicable for Asian destinations, and in any case, it can be packed in the check-in luggage.

I've ever 'transported aliens' but on all occasions in my hand carry luggage without issue. How does one pack them in check in luggage? I'm worried about non pressurised cabins and low temperature.
Anyway before we go off topic, there is another row of 2-3 bigger shops after Tung choi st, near the Prince Edward Station.

do they sell plants as well? I'm going to HK on monday, hope got some times to walk around
They are not exactly a wholesale market. Just ALOT of fishshops congregated on an entire street. The smaller row of fishshops I mentioned is just outside Tung choi street, near Prince Edward Rd. I remember seeing a gas station nearby.Originally Posted by kenneth_kpe
Yes they do, and at a bargain too. I went bonkers over some echis I hardly see here. However, do get a feel of the market price in SG first.We have some advantage over them on some stuff.do they sell plants as well? I'm going to HK on monday, hope got some times to walk around
Hoping to go there one of these days. Heard the guppies there are very nice.
