What? Second hand apisto & fish hotel? Interesting, new business line, guess owner can buy insurance for their fish while placing at the shop.

It's a apisto specialty shop. Simply amazing while looking the numerous apisto caves within the tanks.

BTW, this shop is located in fish street hongkong.

If only we have a place central enough for all fish enthusiast to go to. Maybe rent a 'wall' area to house some of our fish stock. Got to be cheap though. Can't have too many tank in the house as my marine setup has exceeded 500 watts of electrical usage. I'm still looking for ways to lower the electrical consumption.

It would be a good place as more members get to mingle and exchange idea. Anyone has some unoccupied building to rent to the rest here......?

Can't imagine singapore to have some "fishy street" or "jalan fish/cat/dog" over here. . Clementi blk 328 got potential but still too small , heard that seragoon north intended to develop into some similar ??

BTW, already got commercial ponds for rental for those arowana keepers to breed their fishes. Also, heard that certain fish farms renting out area for breeding show betta.

Located at Goldfish street? I just been there recently to purchase some fishes....never came across such a place though.

Looks familiar. Think i been there before, but it was not a apisto hotel back then. Its located on the 2nd level.

I never been there before, i just saw it on some hk aquatic forum and posted the inof here.

The address is 旺角通菜街180號1樓. I think this is the goldfish street or very near to the goldfish street.

Hmmm...i see, will check them out on my next trip.

I was there at that shop last month, I have to admit it was very impressive, kind of similar to biotope shop set up. If you happen to go there, please take note it is on the second floor along Tung Choi St and you need to ring the bell before you can go up.

Actually the now defunct kingfisher LFS wanted to do the same thing, but closed down before it came to fruition. I believe the tank setups are still in the Geylang shop.

i just bought two pairs of apisto from this same shop. Service was very very good, he gave me lots of advice on how to bring the fish back safely, and packed them nicely for me in a travel-safe styrofoam box for no extra cost. And the prices are reasonable.

He also said that the best time to shop for apistos in HK is in the november period, and that he's also having a shipment coming in in Sept. He also sends fish overseas if his customers require

[oblivion]

do they have a website and/or contact number?

Think is fishlove.com but the site not up yet.
