[soggy]

can we haggle for lower prices in tung choi street?

Was in HK and finally got a chance to visit Goldfish street.

There are so many things to buy there and it's so vibrant! You can see young and old people, male and female interested in tropical fish hobby there!

I bought a java fern on wood for about $9. The way it's arranged is really nice. Will post a pic when i have time.

Are things like filters there cheaper than in singapore? Advisable to get it there? Going there next week

China brands are cheaper. I dont think you will get a lot of savings for Eheim filters.

I am going to HK in april this year and the hotel I would be staying at is like 8 mins walk from the goldfish street ...but what are the rules and regulations on bringing fishes and plants back? I vaguely remember you cannot have more than 30 fishes in 3 liters of water or something. Anyone can advise? Thanks.

Care to share the hotel name and what the rates were like? I was thinking of paying a visit to HK sometime after CNY.

The AVA limit is: 30 pieces packed in not more than 3 litres of water per person per trip, subject to a maximum of 60 pieces in not more than 6 litres of water per car (2 or more persons in the car)

Anyone knows does this only applies for hand carry baggage or also applying to check-in luggages as well? I am too going to hong kong next week and hoping to get some nice fishs\shrimps and plants back...

No hand carry is allowed. You will need to check them in.

Thank you Blue33 for sharing. I still cannot imagine a street full of fish shops! If I have read this thread earlier, my Hong Kong trip in June this year would have been very different.

Great Write up. The last time when I visited the Goldfish Street, I was into marine fishes - there was so many shops selling freshwater stuff as compared to marine stuff. I was very amazed at the way they build their fish tanks. Very creative.

Very very nice aquarium shop in Hong Kong

A short writeup I did when I went there last year.

Hi,

Anyone know if the crystal shrimps are as cheap as that in Taiwan where mosura going at 5 SGD as in one of the post on Taipei aquariums?

[Jungle-mania]

Nope it is not. but the quality is really good.

[Kenng]

Nope it is not. but the quality is really good.

Can you share with us roughly how much per mosura?

[Jungle-mania]

Sorry, I can't remember the exact price, but it was definitely beyond $5. I was over there at the start of the year, I doubt the price could have drop that much that fast there.

Can to share where is this shop that you got your shrimps from? Was there last year but didn't see any shops there selling. Might be going again end this month.
