[deds]

hi guys... i will be going to hk for holiday next month and i want to visit shops that sell pleco and freshwater puffer, can anyone here give me some pointers?

i've been to goldfish st before but i couldnt find any shop that really selling them ....maybe because i was there too early around 11am

where possible i want to bring some back with me ... will i be having problem with airlines (SQ)??

Hi, I can't comment on airlines etc... but i was at goldfish street earlier this week, there were 2 places that seemed to have abundant L numbers, I don't read chinese that well, so names are a bit hard. but they had stock such as L134, L200 (both), mango, rustys, all sorts of panaque, and several of the unidentifyable species Hypan.. ranging fron 200 to 1000HKD per piece, the shops were about the halfway mark on the road if that helps. good luck!

[shenzhenluohan]

woww ....thats alot of money there ..

seen any large panaque or african pufferfish?

[shenzhenluohan]

I saw loads of juvenile royals, I picked up an L191 about 8cm for $200hkd.
As for pufferfish, I know nothing about them, but I have seen a few tanks with them.

dont think i will be able to bring them aboard ... friend of mine just checked with hongkong singapore airlines customer service regarding bringing fish as luggage and they said NO. too bad .... this airlines usually okay because i brought fish from singapore few times
