Hong Kong's Goldfish Street

crazy, crazy, well I'm glad to hear they don't stick around for long at least. I saw another video with a flower market, I think it may be in the same area, such beautiful plants and flowers, I don't know if I could go and not take anything back either!!

I can still picture that Emperor Angel about 7 or 8 inches long stuffed into a bag barely 10 inches wide... I wanted to take him home there & then!

There's about 8-10 SW aquarium (and some FW/SW mix as well) last time i checked. I also don't recall any salt water fish kept in bags (maybe last time someone wanted an emperor and then backed out... ? ).

I mean ..if u actually head to the pier and see the amount of fish CRAMMED in the seafood display..then you know these guys have it relatively good

anyways ...
Near the end of the street (either north or south) there is a SW shop specializing in rarer end fish iirc... cuz all i saw was a large emperor and a bandit angel.

Pretty cool... They must have lots of losses though although I suppose if you start thinking about how many sea creatures die in the procurement process the ethics of our hobby might start to be questioned. If you could bring me back a clown trigger though VFX I'd be happy to hold onto some livestock for you until your tank is ready!

When I visited HK this past summer, I'd go there at around 10 in the morning because I could never sleep in HK for some reason. & There'd be TRUCKLOADS of fish and people would be bagging them here and there and I see people taking the dead ones, and throwing them into piranha tanks or what not or flushing them down the sewer.
