Wow Keri, thanks for the link! Yep, that's Goldfish Street alright!
Some things out there just don't seem ethical! I saw one store sell 2 sea horses to a young kid (about 12 yrs old I'd guess) & his mother. They sold him the seahorses, a small plastic tank (maybe 3 or 4 gallons?), a sachet of sea salt mix & a few bags of live mysis. I'd be surprised if they lasted more than a few days  I asked about the fish-in-bags thing and apparently they sell their livestock so fast that most don't hang around (excuse the pun!) for more than a day or so. They only seem to keep the really expensive stuff in the display tanks. Thing like speciality goldfish, arowana's & some SW stuff. I think there was only 2 or 3 SW places last time I was there. 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! Anyways, I'll keep you posted! See you when I get back Darryl. .

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.
