Hong Kong Aquarium Street

Has any one recent bought fish and other livestock there and brought back to the USA.

I did a few times but not within the past 14 years, since 9/11, 2001. Only fish at that time.

Any good or bad experience?

Is it allowed to bring fish on the plane to the US? I heard from a lfs that I can take invertebrates on the plane back to here, but corals is forbidden without license papers.

I did not try coral or other invertebrates, only fish.

Native to HK is the blue line angel. I hope to find it.

Rich people talking

I saw a lot of them in HK just about early September. I hope they are not seasonal.

Most of the expensive fishes will arrive once a month here and they are more cheaper here .
