thanks for the photo updates It's something i forgot to do when I went. Fish Emotion is really a good place to go isn't it? Alan is friendly and prices are reasonable!

Yes, is it a good place to visit, the shop it is very similiar to Biotope, with a wider selection and price wise it is very attractive too. There a few rare wild Apisto from japan but the price is too much for me to accept. Would have gotten more apirs if my wife is not with me, hehe.

Hi Bro,

Thank you very much for the recommendation, solid place to go for Apisto. There is another shop which I can't remenber the name that have a smaller selection of Apisto, actually I intend to go back there to get some if I did not manage to find Fish Emotion. I was looking around for Fish Emotion for 2 evenings and finally found it on the 3rd night and luckily it is still open even thou it is supposed to be closed at 9pm, I was there after their official business hour and they are already packing up for the day. The owner - Alan is really friendly and pack the fish individually to last the journey back home. The fishes were packed in double bags and I used my clothes to cushion it in my luggage bag.

I'm thankful for my wife. I actually wanted to get fewer pairs but she encouraged me to get more

Alan provided styrofoam box for me too to help cushion the bags in my luggage. He looks very experienced at packing apistos for airline transport. Every one of my fish survived the trip back, and 1 pair even lasted 2 days in his packaging as I got the pair for my friend and he was only able to collect the next day.

I may be going back again in the 2nd half of the year (right in the middle of wild fish season!). Wonder how many pairs I'll bring back this time

Your are a very lucky guy with wife supporting your and hobby.

I just put all the Apisto in plastic bags straight into my luggage as per attached photo. It was packed on Thursday night and when I returned on Saturday night all the fishes still make it, Alan told me that he have packed the fishes separately and it should be able to last in the bag for a week.
