I live in Hong Kong and go to this street almost every weekend. You missed out on an amazing arrowana and sting Ray store, just one staircase over from David Chow. Also check out crystal shrimps next time. The owner flies to Japan and hand selects the best batch of fresh water shrimp selling berried females at like 4,000hkd+... There is so much more crazy shit to see in this street from tucan birds to rare reptiles, chameleons and a store that recently brought in a boat load of gulper cat fish. Hope you get a chance to check it out.

[@InappropriateReefer]

OK, I know who to ask next time I am back in HK... which may not be that long! =O

[@ann53090]

Can you ask them what brand those glass display tanks are with the display sump underneath!? Why dont they sell those in America! Beautiful Tanks!!!

[@mcgheefoulmouth6587]

@James Merryman jeez that projection

[@ConnorLongDVM]

​@@mikekell7104 I would recommend encouraging hobbyists to purchase captive bred animals, which are healthier and do not impact wild populations. If you just start spouting off insults you're not going to help anyone.

[@ConnorLongDVM]

@@InappropriateReefer If you make another HK video can you get some shots of the chameleons? Chameleon keepers are hard up for chameleon content. Not like you spoiled fish fanciers that have hundreds of videos haha

[@Drewbil]

I hate when my mom takes me to a fish store and she’s like, Andrew are we almost done, no mom. No I’m not done.

[@InappropriateReefer]

LOL I feel your pain

[@reefrockcritter8943]

😂😂😂

[@Ellery-USA]

amazed how clean many of the shop tanks are. I bet because of the intense competition you have to be.

[@omgitsme435]

To be honest, compared to HK and many other Asian countries, the US is terrible for aqua hobbyists.. sucks to be one here. Overpriced and low quality. So nice to see people with passion and knowledge there

[@TheXJthatCould]

W-_-T I live in California and surprisingly my LFS has high quality and decent prices

[@thepatriotrcchannel8693]

Way over priced here sadly

[@r.r-vr4684]

Hahaha...you are right bro...if about hobby. .like fish N dog...woow...USA is the best highest price ever...!! Like went to Indonesia. ..man..!!..the dorry fish or we called as the letter six fish it's only worth for $5 as medium size...but in the US they sale it for $50 or more!! I think in the US the cheapest fish is SALMON😄😄😄

[@bobbyiceman]

Lol you think things are overpriced in the US try here in Australia just for a single rose bubble tip anemone you’re looking at $600+

[@brandonezdoofenshmirtz2916]

You havent been to canada, 40$ clownfish, no local fisg stores unless you live in the big city, and our fish stores rarely sell rodi or saltwater

[@rickrodriguez6675]

Dude love love the Hong Kong tour. Thank you for bringing us along with you.

[@boxdwatr9724]

I would literally move to China or Japan just for their fish scene. I seriously hope I get to go one day. Oh, and I never cared for saltwater in the past. I think your channel might have just changed that. Welcome to the Freshwater Darkside ! >:]

[@austin323la]

This was a great vid, I'd love to visit one day, tha is so much for sharing.. subscribed!!!

[@brianbaier1616]

Subbed! Love the vid man, thanks for bringing us along!

[@krypt-oaquatics7883]

Thank you for sharing. It was cool to see other approaches to how people do business in our hobby. And all the ins and outs. Taught me something new today. I tip my hat to you sir. And Im happy I found your channel. Also saw you in George's video hope you got some great footage to share. Have an awsome day my fiend. 👌✌😎

[@Davelembo]

Awesome tour as always bud

[@LeReefpapi]

This is the video that got me into this hobby, and I’m happy to say that it is now have been a year of happy reefing!!!

[@MightyNanoTank]

That deep water basslet though 😍😍 love the tour 👍 future reefsquad trip 🙌

[@InappropriateReefer]

I'm down, let's do it!

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Woa..this is so cool!!!

[@InappropriateReefer]

It's pretty wild there =) Thanks for watching and please say Hi to Banana for me!

[@hidematsumoto1708]

Cool? Fish in small bags ? Gladd im not one od youre pets

[@CreativePetKeeping]

@@hidematsumoto1708 Keeping fish in bags for transport is currently the safest method but you are free to invent a better one ^_^

[@ReefDudes]

Super cool to see how they do it and so many nice tanks! (But is till feel bad for all the fish in bags!). Thanks for the updated tour!

[@InappropriateReefer]

Yeah the bagged fish arrangement is far from ideal, the silver lining is that the amount of foot traffic they get is insane, so hopefully the fish don't stay in there long!

[@ranghildsbil]

If bagging them like that every morning is leaner than having tanks they must be selling a lot. Would love to see an interview with a shop owner some day :)

[@AquaSplendor]

Zomg, it just amazing. Funny to see Dave Chow Creation in the store, his a legend, his the one that influences me the most in Aquascaping.

[@InappropriateReefer]

That is awesome, I feel fortunate to have wandered into his store while there! Amazing scapes.

[@Reefloco]

Wowww!!! Would LOVE to visit Hong Kong's fish street market!! I would literally be there every day!! Awesome video!!

[@InappropriateReefer]

Hahaha I could see myself visiting every other day if I live in HK!

[@Reefloco]

@@InappropriateReefer I just love all the stores and the second floor is cool too. Where all the "nice" stuff is

[@robertwelsh6878]

Just been binge watching all your vids just subscribed keep up the good work

[@MrHolyvern]

I'd never heard of this fish market until I saw one of your Instagram posts, now I can't stop watching videos of it !!!!

[@moneysmoneywoney]

Another great video 👍

[@InappropriateReefer]

Thank you for watching! =)

[@Sylvania-Frenchies]

Great video looks amazing in Hong Kong 🔥

[@luisg1653]

She saw crab and lobster and said "I'm hungry" 😂 loved that

[@jonandlisa2000]

Thanks for sharing, awesome content

[@kpbsas91776]

Very fun. Love the fish at 7:01

[@---nw9qu]

5:00 - can you find a clean/open tank and sump like that in the U.S.?

[@thereefinrican]

Fish street 👍🏻. Nice post.

[@jingrou5954]

omg this is like my fish paradise

[@ASBsweet]

That nano with the open sump refugium is awesome! What a great idea and looks cool as frick....

[@IkanHiasLaut]

Love HK fish street, very complete fresh and marine fish, corals

[@madfishdiva]

OMG that place! Those corals and the planted tanks. That's driftwood. Gorg!

[@MakoyUnggoy]

Tung Choi street is still on my places to visit with my camera, great views!

[@blackboy111786]

Keep up the good work with the video. I love your videos

[@tinabloomfield7228]

HOLY COW!!!! What an amazing video. I really enjoyed seeing all of the amazing corals, and the fresh water tanks were gorgeous!!! I really wish I had a way to run a planted tank, I just wouldn't want to use my well water. It doesn't really work well. Thanks for the amazing video Mok

[@reinass.3146]

Okay, this is In-sane!!!

[@mikemedina6478]

The freshwater planted tanks were amazing.

[@aeromission9333]

I bet the locals have some amazing epic tanks. Next time you go back do some filming in their houses.

[@donnieboy007]

Awesome video Thank you.. Did you find out how much one of the display tanks with sump cost? And do you remember the store name or possibly know how to purchase one without making a trip there? Thanks again for another great video

[@schrodingers_catboy_9882]

8:54 clarkii clowns, they're my fav next to ocelarius

[@joshmuldoon9622]

Wrong - Amphiprion latifasciatus (Madagascar anemonefish)

[@schrodingers_catboy_9882]

Fishy vibes 👍

[@jakesreef1730]

That stacked tank set up do you know were I can get one or a website that sells it?

[@masiehmitra8273]

those posters @11:00 are so beautiful. Is there any for sale somewhere?

[@lisahair1292]

very beautiful fish Tangs,Angels and Dempsey's are my favorite salt water fish

[@Chunkylurker]

Oooo snappers great stores thanks for sharing

[@marlonallansupetran7120]

I wathed this before I even have a reef tank, now that I have one, I just noticed 4:04 those torches are very close to the toadsstool, is that even safe?

[@StudioGhibletz]

Before covid hit, this was literally my favorite place to go. I'd catch the high speed from Shenzhen and go see all the fish

[@bluereef9530]

Unbelievable , amazing to see so many stores.

[@josecarattini2229]

Nice tour thanks

[@ironman20725]

Are the show tanks/sumps sold in the u.s?

[@Reefahholic]

Epic tank tour video! I'm moving to Hong Kong!! LOL.

[@fishysnowman9082]

Great video enjoyed it. 👍👍

[@shahrilghazali]

Do you happen to know if they have Black Tangs also?

[@lpzavenger8027]

Hi, do you know if the tiny tiny aquascape tanks are available online anywhere to order?

[@boaTF2]

i saw u post on insta

[@InappropriateReefer]

Thanks for following on IG as well! =)

[@ttravreefsaquatics8354]

Great video, very kool and interesting 😎👍🏾

[@maddawgzzzz]

Can’t wait to go here. This is sick!!!

[@tristanlambert2258]

I would love the blueprints for one of those all in one refugium aquariums to build one of acrylic. Any chance you could request one for us?

[@reelthing4u]

i see fish and more fish .but where are the tanks for sale?

[@elliotcoulson2073]

dammmm I missed this when I was in HK in January, will have to go again just for this!

[@SurprisedPikacheesecake]

Holy crap those clown fish are COOL! Also, those planted tanks are masterpieces!🤤

[@KreefAquariumhobby]

Great video! Bring me a gemtang 🤣😉😀😀

[@Mike__B]

I want to say it's too bad there's regulations on bringing back stuff to the US, but the reality is it's probably good there are regulations.

[@dika_48group68]

Try going to indonesia and review sumenep market fish. Marine fish very good in there

[@mikaonthefly3871]

Where did you pick up the 2 inch fish tank? Lol. Those look awesome

[@anthonyblodgett2227]

Only mokyi can get me to watch a fish video almost 20min long without skipping through it. Lol

[@jluusaltwateraquarium8320]

Fantastic video... I have questions do you know how take ich out of tank and fish..

[@InappropriateReefer]

I believe most people recommend taking all fish out of the tank and keep in QT for a few months to treat, and leave the display tank empty. There is supposedly a med that could treat a reef tank directly but I have not tried it

[@jluusaltwateraquarium8320]

Thanks Brother this is hard one I have to fight for.. I have 3 fishes die.. I hate too lost them..

[@19sp]

woww amazing market...where is this fish maret located because I am planning to go to Hong Kong on holiday so I wana visit there too, thanks.

[@mauriciomarioni6048]

This is amazing

[@kelsroom2]

that 2feet tank are awesome

[@ReefSpy]

Fish street looks so awesome. I would spend all day there. 😝

[@jussless2834]

Where could I find an open sump system like that do you know of any websites that sells them

[@r3ikobomb]

So I was planning a trip to China for vacation, but I am also an aquarium enthusiast. Is it possible to bring those back to U.S. or wherever? Is it a lot of hassle if you can?

[@haideralghazaly62]

Omg this is like fish heaven, would love to visit but I’m in America, do they ship fishes because there were a few that caught my eye

[@sfcbillylam]

Oh, welcome to Hong Kong

[@InappropriateReefer]

Thank you Billy =)

[@thevividmuse453]

I watched your video about transporting fish on a flight within the US. Do you have information now about transporting fish on an international flight? 🐠 🙂

[@PrestigeReef]

Always good to see Saint Emily 😂

[@InappropriateReefer]

Lol how did she become a saint!?

[@PrestigeReef]

A life dedicated to being the camera lady at fish shows, aquariums and streets 🤣

[@UTUBESTEVED]

Hi you show us a aquarium in your time at 4:05 please ask them how is it possible to hold the weight of water rock corals etc.. bring that I notice there is nothing but glass holding it what size glass are they using very cool looking tell us more about it please maybe in a video

[@shuwukong]

That makes me cringe... only glass support?

[@CYPHERWasHere]

Nice, i might visit one day.

[@raift.5781]

Hi Guys. I know its a Bit Late But did somebody know where you can buy this crazy Nano tank With the Display refugium. Im Searching but I cannot find a tank like this thanks

[@luismanuelrivera3900]

Thank you John for your support!! 🙏 I hope you’re right about Emily... 🤩

[@fasting4lyfe]

Awesome man.

[@GavinAutomata]

Pretty late and not sure if answered but: Those are Clarkii Clowns, specifically they look like galaxy.

[@unetseulement]

those yellow faced angels at 7:00 are super expensive too. :)

[@A1AAdventures]

What an Awesome Market Place that Contains Aquatics!!!!!

[@webdiddy]

Nice video but I have to say that the bagged fish is kinda f'ed up. Bagging and rebagging the fish every day must cause massive stress on the fish.

[@InappropriateReefer]

There is no denying that part. =/ Silver lining is that fish do get sold very quickly on that street so hopefully they don't stay in bags long.

[@saltwaterreef277]

Tony Graf -Agree. There must be a significant amount of fish that die.

[@9385dee7]

What a massive waste of time also. Maybe it helps people view them before buying? Still seems like a racket to be at

[@HarperMH]

Tony Graf I’ve seen a lot worse in Asia! People generally don’t care as much about the wellbeing of fish compared to the US.

[@bryantchan6168]

Welcome to Hong Kong!

[@InappropriateReefer]

Thank you thank you =)

[@teryn420]

What is the eel looking black fish at 9:43 ??? I’ve never seen anything so majestic

[@ImCools]

I want to go!! 🤯

[@Buckbuster88]

So I like in the US not sure where you live but if I went to fish street how could I buy something and get it back? I'm sure that would cause problems at customs.

[@MarineHobby]

Nice

[@jewishcoupon]

4:47 damn!

[@InappropriateReefer]

Lol, approve?

[@jewishcoupon]

@@InappropriateReefer Indeed I do,sir!

[@cmac6877]

It's a shame you could not bring that Gem Tang home😫

What was the Orange fish called

[@amberlwong2794]

I am new Subscriber to your channel. And I Like to watch this kind of travel video. Also I am new to Freshwater Aquarium and I would like to travel to Hong Kong or China to look at all the selling and buying fish streets too. On this thought I have a question that I need to ask you if I buy a few fish from the street market in Hong Kong or China as PETS how do I bring them home to Canada?

[@thadsandcastle1348]

Make a garden eel tank

[@InappropriateReefer]

Hm maybe...........!

[@thadsandcastle1348]

Inappropriate Reefer or make a slug tank everyone loves slugs

[@ccn5065]

Can I hav ethe name and address of the store the guy bought the gem tang and candy basslet ?

everytime i saw a petshop i feel like im already home cause i stay there for like hour especially if buying a fish

[@ang8618]

I highly recommend checking out the aquascapes Dave Chow did for Kafnu Hong Kong, theres some short videos here on youtube. The guy is like an aquascape God!

Wow that’s crazy
