Title: My Own Fish Room and Turtle Tour in Asia
Post by: jcunningham0295 on May 18, 2014, 09:35:21 PM

Since I couldn't go on the fish room tour since I am in Shanghai for work, I decided to go on my own here in China.  Here are some pics I took along the way, not the best since they are from my cell phone.

And of course the last shop I went into had some Frontosa's and discus.  Then finally a picture of me outside the largest aquarium seller in China.

Very interesting - feel free to post more if you have them!

I take it that each of those little balls has a grasshopper inside? Weird stuff!

Josh make little harnesses for the grasshoppers so they can go for walks

I'd still like to know the prices on the flower horn & compare them to what you see around here.

Here are som additional pics of some goldfish tanks, not sure how many more they could fit into each one and some of the food they sell.

I've always wondered if they actually sell enough goldfish in a short period that it justifies keeping that many on hand at once. Perhaps lots of people have small ponds, so they buy a whole lot when they buy them?

I remember that they used to pack the goldfish at the dime stores just like in Josh's pictures.  I  always made a point to look at the fish whenever I went there.  we are talking over 50 years ago.   Keep posting Josh.

Nice photos. If you have an opportunity to pass through Hong Kong make sure you check out their aquarium fish street.
