Be careful mate, you have some photos of hybrid cichlids there which may be censored
Other fish look great, are they Paretroplus with the frontosa?

They won't be removed RedDevil. Their not his fish nor is he advertising the sale of fish. He went to Hong Kong, and if anything this should give everyone at PCS an idea of how fish are treated overseas. Plenty of hybrid images have gone around. It's a disgusting act as we all know, but it's a cultural thing. It's what they do over there and they don't know any better as we do here.

Some nice images there sickcichlids. Did you managed to check out the Hong Kong aquariums? Their fantastic!! I think a few PCS members have some images floating around somewhere if you wanted to check them out

I am not sure what is with the frontosa.I would have taken more pics,but some places did not allow for pics to be taken,especially the marine aquariums.

Where did you get this idea ? smile.gif

Photo's of Hybrids or species on the Noxious list can be posted.
As stated in the T&C it is the buying & selling of those species which is not allowed on the PCS Classifieds.

Nothing like AQUA over here. AQUA has nothing on their aquariums. Do a google search for images. I think you'll be shocked at the shear size of malaysian and surrounding asian countries aquariums

The ones in with the frontosa look like a species of Paretroplus from Madagascar.

I've been to Hong Kong, but didn't see the live fish trade markets, only the food markets and funnily enough alot of the things in your pics were there as well.

Cheers

They are Sturgeon, a very interesting fish, but can grow very, very, very large and in many Countries prized for their caviar.
