Hoplarchus psittacus are around $80 when they pop up. But we can’t get species like haitiensis, RTM and grammodes here.
Motoro’s have dropped in price a lot recently. You can get a male pup for around $300, slightly more for females. Leopoldi’s are usually upwards of $7k for a pup.

But hong Kong city parking is so expensive , I heard residential parking lot is a separate purchase?
Honestly Tung Choi St is not even half as good as it was 10yrs ago...
So much has changed and from basically a full street of independant stores selling everything from your common gold fish to the most expensive aros, its now become a lot of chain stores selling equipment or restaurants & pet shops for our furrier friends...
Now there are only really 2-3 shops i can count on to randomly bring is very rare hard tonfind fish (even then only one does it semi regularly, the other 2 are hit and miss) VS at least 8-10 i knew of 10yrs ago...
Yes that is also true, if you are in the city, expect to pay around USD 8-10 an hour for parking (if you are lucky enough to find a parking lot thats empty that is...)

Well the good thing is china is just next door... lol
Oh and yeah, residential parking is very tricky especially in newer building developments, since they like to build say 200 units, but may only provide 50 car parks for sale...
As for the China bit, yeah it is next door but its not that easy to bring fish back...
We like to beat HK at anything. I parked at Tekka market for 8 hours and it came to $26. Not quite there yet but soon.
There is always greener grass...
Tung Choi street is still a one of a kind place.
10 years back they tried to start another place like it in Tai Koo but tanked really quick. HK Aquarium Plaza. Would have been cool.
Well the Mongkok area changes every time I visit. I also buy plastic model stuff there. Half the stores are gone.
Aquarium plaza was a really great place while it lasted, i knew a few store owners there and actually am friendly with the sole surviving store in that mall...
Times have changed and as with most LFS' around the world, it really is the bread and butter fish that make money, not so much the exotic oddballs no one knows how to keep...
i may be wrong but i always thought hardware is where the money is made.... at least in singapore...
because the common fishes are so cheap i can't imagine how they can earn from there, taking into account, food, medicine, water change, quarantine, some deaths etc
