Hi,

I'm going over to jakarta at the end of the month.

Can u tell me some of the fish shops location in jakarta.

Planning to buy some accessories from there if they are cheap.

Thanks.

juv emperor for $6?! hmmm i remember i got mine for $25! and it was really juvenile!

[shiraz]

opps... see wrongly.. $12... but it's still less then half price..

[andy777]

To buy accessories, what sort of accessories? If u are referring to the hi-tech equipment, better buy it in singapore...Here..Suck!

But if you are looking for dead coral, rocks, woodrift, sands and those stuff, u may try Jl. Sumenep in Sudirman (downtown area). A complex full of saltwater fish and reef .

Btw, just find out that Regal Angelfish is about SGD 12 here..

Once I bought in singapore, It's easy...just hand carry those angelfish by plane to jakarta , or I will send it through a courier specialized in exporting living stuff.

Hey, from what I read from the forum, It seems to me angel fishes is not popular among u guys....

[Octopuffy]

Hi Andy,

Probably Angels have special diet and not reef safe?

I m a trigger fan

Cheers!

The last time I bought a French and Queen pair it was 70 each at Pac***c Mar**e. The adults are probably around the range of 120.

Thats also the place which used to have these carribean angels most frequently, but now rarely also.

Cheers~

70 dollar for juvenile and 120 for adult? how big is the adult then? Wow, quite expensive......Ice, r u into angel fish also?

Regal Angels for SGD 12 , that is the good prices, its the Yellow base as shown ????

For the Juv Queens at $70. Adult about 6" ++ ,IMO that the Markets price

[andy777]

Yes, and for the greyish color base, it's even cheaper, around 8 dollar

[Regal]

So its is can hand carry some of the Regal or others types of Angels ...???

[andy777]

Well, it's not fish, it's coral that my friend once hand carry by airplane . I myself never tried it before. Till today, I still wonder if it could actually work cause logically, I don't think fish or any live coral could survive for long through the x-ray baggage checked...;

I've tried an overnight courier service...quite expensive but good service...

[andy777]

Ohh...btw, I think I need to give u input about buying fishes in Jakarta here.

First, you should be aware that 50% of the fishes is caught by using the cyniade...Yes I know it's illegal, but still happen..so whenver you wanna buy, anywhere in jakarta, you should go thoroughly, checking the fish very carefully.

Only very few dealers are reliable for the quality of the fish..

I just bought a queen and majestic yesterday at T9*. Cost me $170 for both. I think the queen is $120. Both are adults about 12cm i think.
