SRC Member diki88 Posted March 31, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 31, 2014 http://www.ava.gov.sg/InformationForTravellers/BringOrnamentalFish/ Hi bro, you can refer to the link above for this matters. Important points is not more than 3 liters of water per person. pretty much sure you wont exceed the 30 pieces of fish. so more people going, your water limit also goes up. Cheers.

CKL Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Think fishes are cheaper. A lot of common fishes such as clowns, chromis, etc are priced at HKD10 each.

CKL Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Btw, can saltwater fish last as long as freshwater fish when packed and transport as checked-in baggage? I had brought back 3" cichlids without casualty which are packed and released into tank for closed to 36 hours.

SRC Member solasido Posted April 15, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 15, 2014 Our problem with price is due to Singapore being a small market. If we are big market, they can cut down price and still earn from the sale volume. Just seeing the magnitude of the LFS in HK or Jatujak alone we can sense the size of the market compared to ours. Sigh... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKL Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I think the local market is somewhat comparable to Hong Kong. The main reason, in my view, why prices are competitive in Hong Kong is due to competitions as most of the LFS are concentrated in the same area. Hence for homogenous products, pricesis the key.
