xeneryx Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member josephwzr Posted November 2, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted November 2, 2015 And do u declare them as livestocks? Or just check in luggage Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeneryx Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexcyf Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 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!

alexcyf Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 oh, there is a rule that we cant bring back hard corals? 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 Quote Follow Alex's Reefing Journey @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Sent from my pigeon using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
