SRC Member dleecool Posted June 8, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted June 8, 2009 When I was there 3 years ago, the corals and fish r cheaper than Singapore, most of all they normally have very nice angels. But equipment wise not that much choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Because of the new Airline LAG policy (Liquids, Aerosols, Gels) you cannot hand carry fish aboard. Kinda stupid, as I've yet to hear of any fish that can survive for even one minute in a volatile liquid. But airlines and policy makers aren't the brightest bunch, best you can do is pick up a couple of Kordon Breather Bags (someone at AQ is bringing in and selling these) and carefully pack them into styrofoam or sturdy cardboard boxes in your check in luggage. Be sure you do not exceed AVA limits on ornamental fish for personal use and don't try to bring in any CITES / endangered /prohibited species of fauna. "A traveller may import up to 30 fish in not more than 3 litres of water or a mixture of the different varieties of ornamental aquatic organisms provided it does not exceed 5kg in total weight and must be within a traveller's limit for the various items. For details, please refer to AVA website at www.ava.gov.sg" http://www.cites.org/ http://www.ava.gov.sg/AnimalsPetSector/Imp...OrnamentalFish/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way your poor fish won't get sloshed around in the bag, and the bag won't burst as easily because there won't be a big air pocket in it. (Can also pack more fish into a smaller box) These bags are not some gimmick, they are proven and most of the American LFS and frag swappers use these to ship livestock around.
