Price wise, the stuff is pretty good compared to local..but it's the livestock that they have for 1/8 of our price!

I'll try my best to take some pics.

I was shocked when I 1st stumbled upon it & saw amazingly beautiful Emperor Angels, CBB's, foot long Oscars etc. all hanging up in bags in doorways!

Like you say, they looked healthy enough!

Prices? I remember see Percula's for $30 each.

That's $30 Hong Kong Dollars each! (about $4 CAD!)

I love Goldfish Street. You can get T5 lights + a ballast and everything for only $350 hk which is like $50 here. I remember I got like a 16w 10k HO trio of T5's. But they melted. At least one of them did.

Yeah, bargains galore!

$50 for T5's with ballast... that's a steal, so long as they work that is!!!

HK 220v @ 50Hz - Canada 110v @ 60Hz so I probably wont trust anything electrical that my tank has to rely on from HK.

Not with out a decent step down.

I had to use all sorts of adaptors when I got the T5's back here though. But they were BRILLIANTLY bright It was worth it. & Turkey basters were like a dollar. Not that it's such a bigbigbig deal its just that if that was here it would've only been like 10 cents
