Apologies for the poor photo quality but I only had my crappy phone camera with me. Didnt help that most of the fish were camera-shy.

Spot on Ronny.

 

Didnt think you guys would seriously think a store like this exists in Perth!

 

I was in Singapore on the weekend and found a local fish store on the internet which advertised that they specialised in the Import and Export of Arowanas, Plecos, Oddballs and Exotics - Stones Aquarium. Wanting to see how I could arrange import  of some of the allowable fish back home, I took a hike from town and found the store in amongst a whole lot of HDB flats.

Unfortunately when I got there, there was only an old man in the store cleaning the tanks who said that he knew nothing about fish. The owner was not around and as I had to meet a friend for drinks, I took some quick photos and left. I'll have to contact him/her by email.

 

I recorded a few of the prices in sing dollars-

 

Hoplias Curupira Orinoco  $380

Polypterus congicus $150

L114 $35

Pterodoras granulosus $200

Megalodoras uranoscopus $180

L27 xingu, Crenicichla lenticulata 'Rio atabapo' - price not listed

One of the reasons I hate doing fish runs overseas is because I can't bring anything back and everything is so cheap :( :( :(

 

I go to Hong Kong every year and stop by Mong kok, the Goldfish Street and cry everytime.

I stop by Hong Kong a few times a year and always go to Mong Kok and goldfish street. One of the coolest places I have been to plenty of variety and cheap :)

There's a few shops there that I always make sure to see like Legend Aquarium and one at the end of the street owned by a bhudda looking guy lol.

 

He's the only one that stocks some of the rarer SA cichlids.  When I was there last year, he had a few species of Paretroplus and some Biotodomas.

 

There's another shop as well that looks lke it's run by gangsters, kind of scary being in there but some awesome fish! That's where I got the thsot of the albino RTC I would have taken a lot more shots but my lens broke in there too :(

 

Plus there's a new Benibachi shrimp shop there that has some crazy Shrimp.

 

So many things there I love looking at when I go there.

 

Have you been to Ocean Park?

Last time I went to see Michael at Legend, they showed me the Sharkfin discus before it was even released at Aquarama :)

Not a fan of them but I felt special lol.

 

Aquarama is on my wishlist to go soon!

 

 

I always go to Ocean Park too :) My wife has a cousin that works there so I get to see some pretty cool stuff up close.They have the best condition arapaimas I've seen. Their dolphin show iw really cool too.
