Check out Apistoworld. They have their address in their signature if i'm not wrong...look for posts by them in the merchants section =)

Bro, yes it is.
You can check out the GrassStore.. its a few shops down the road, opposite AquaWorld.
Right now, not much apistos as season's not started.

I know this is a dumb question, the fish street is in Wan Kok right? and Grassstore and Aquaworld are all there as well?

Fish street is nearest one MTR station north of Wan Kok, at Tai Zee (Prince Edward). But still walkable from Wan Kok, if you know your way.

Take the MTR to the Mong Kok Station and then get out.

Look at the Map in the station to find the exit for gold fish street.
You would get on to a Long Long Bridge. Use that to go to the gold fish street.

If you get lost, ask and usually directions are forthcoming.

It is walkable from the MTR.

Most shops will open by 11.30am.

The english spelling for "Wong Kok" is actually Mong Kok. Please take note.

There are quite a few shops along goldfish street that sells dwarf cichlids. Do take note that there also shops on the 2nd floor. You have to look out for the entrance and don't be shy to go up.

Cheers,

Any ideas of how to get it back?Especially live stocks.

[salexjared]

2 ways.

Have tried this before
- Ship it back using Fedex (pack it in a styraform box)
- Takes about 2 days from Hong Kong

Did not try this
- Put it in as a check in item (paste fragile all over)

Do note that there are rules and regulations stipulated by AVA on the number of fishes you can bring in. Use AQ's search function and look for "overseas" (or some similar keyword), plenty has already been discussed on this.

Hi, care to share your experience via Fedex?
Any Dead-on-arrivals and how much.
Thanks.

[salexjared]

Did not do fishes the last time.

Did only for shrimps (RCS, CRS and Zebras).

Also did Snails and no problem getting them back.

Did cost a bit and so if you want to send it back, you would have to get enough livestock to be really worth it.

Would be trying out the check in method soon to see how it goes.
If you do it before me, let me know the outcome.

This would be the cheapest but not sure how the airline handles such packages. If it is similar to what Fedex does, then there should be no problem.

[yorky]

I've not checked-in as a separate package.
Usually it is packed together into my luggage.
No issues at all.

[benny]

Yes. I would agree with yorky that this is quite an efficient way. He has LOADS of exotic grade A dwarf cichlids that was transported this way directly from various markets. Champion!

Cheers,
