He had actually moved his shop to another street and it was in the basement of some building.I haven't been by to check it out in over a year and it probably is closed.

Yeah, he closed that one too due to flooding problem with the landlord. He is not selling fish anymore, but he is into bonsai now. And they are EXPENSIVE! Too rich for my blood.

No, I do not live in the city but I go to lots of fish store in the city. I knew Yui Lung when I was a customer about 5-6 years ago.

Zoo's was the other one that I frequent until they close down.

 

[krichardson]

Yeah,I still miss Zoos.Yiu Long was a strange fellow.I remember when he was still at the tenth street location he barely wanted to let people in the store,not that I saw very many people trying to get in in the first place.

hahaha. Often times, I am in the store and he would kick people out and telling them the store is closed. So one day I asked him why he did that because that could be potential customers. He said, " they don't buy, only talk."

 

[krichardson]

Yep,that's what I was always greeted with when I went there..."You here to buy?" I did buy a tiger musky from him at that tenth st. shop and his tanks were beautiful.
