Fish Aficionado
Finally, someone speaks sense, this is temporary and not permanent.
i bet the majority of us, with your bog standard community tanks, have at some point had fish that came from somewhere like this. i dont know what you're all expecting ? wholeslae markets where every 30 fish have a 20G tank to themselves ? not practical, even in the slightest. unless you want to start paying a tenner per guppy.
I don't know how I would ever be able to go to a wholesale market like that and not come home with around a thousand extra fish . I would be the kid in the candy store seeing all the pretty and interesting fish and deciding I needed them. It is a fascinating thread, and honstly the way these fish are bagged up is not so different to how most fish will arrive at everyones Pet shops and LFS. I was watching a bit of Off the Eaten Track and you should have seen the large live coral trout that where being boxed up to air freight live to China for everyone who can afford them as meals.
This is a fantastic thread and just shows how they have narrowed it down to a commercial venture..... China remains the mecca of tropical (Oriental) fish and we have a lot to learn from them!!!..... Great stuff Only love fish.... Hope to see some of your own setups soon.....
Thanks for sharing! Whenever my father travels (especially to China and Japan) he always manages to find stores and places like this to take pictures and give to me as he knows how much of a fish nerd i am..lol) All i can say is i love seeing other cultures and how they differ compared to ones im more familiar with, and cant wait to see some of your own tanks!
