Hong Kong

Hi Guys,

Just came back from HK and was really amazed by the lfs.

Its really a heaven for marine lovers especially fish lover like me.
A shop can easily hold 100 scribbles, another 100 personifer and the list goes on and on.

Needless to say, they have the most collections of queens i have seen.

I have never seen such huge koran, king, scribble before in my life.

What really amaze me is actually the price. Its is really cheap there compare to the market over here in singapore.

I wished i could take more pic for u guys but some shops do not allow it and they watch me pretty carefully.

I bought back a queen and an earspot. Wanted more but my flight time wasnt in my favour.

Normally I'll ask them not to pump so tightly as the pressure my burst the bag. However they are pro at doing it. And I'll normally make sure the bags are surrounded by my clothes and no sharp object. Make sure they don't move around in the luggage. Also ensure that no matter how u tilt the bag, the fish will be covered with water.

I brought back a medium size queen and medium earspot

Fish street in HK is pretty exciting  fishes generally are cheaper than SG. You can find nice zoas at good rates too. Check out the ones that's not on street level. There are a few buildings with a few LFS within the same block. If u are in luck, sometimes there's nice Aussie sps and rainbow acan shipment. But of cuz, u supposedly can't bring back hard corals. Good to see and appreciate e price diff. Check out reef channel coral club. Show tank is pretty cool!

[xeneryx]

There are several shops on 2nd level also. Check them out

[alexcyf]

yup. Hard corals u will need CITES license from both countries. With e license u can bring back 5 pc per pax. But it's a troublesome process n cost too I think

Yup, bought some zoas mainly yellow and blue , good patterns abt S$ 20-40 for a small colony .

very nice lps 60% of which I don't think we can find here. Excellent higher-mid range , but no spectacular pieces . Good value of money. But corals mainly in one shop , one or two others have some, but not a lot , mostly average.The shops here have a lot more stock in general than the ones in sg

Saw a few large bn frags I really wanted to buy, haven't seen much big frags or even colonies of bn back here. Bought magnetic magnifying glass/glass cleaner. Didn't buy any fish as the shop owner didn't think that they would survive the trip back as I'm flying back tmr
