Andrew, I am afraid you will be disappointed when you find that the number of fish you can find in the largest aquarium fish market in Hong Kong is NOT as much as what you might have expected! To be frank, i think you can find about 10 to 20 (or even 30, depending on seasons) kinds of apisto in the local HK fish market... but for the really precious and high quality good fish, it is all by chance or you have to know the channel... you may even need to wait for quite some time. Anyhow, if you will really go to HK and you are looking for some apistos, you may let me know and i could try to share some info with you ^.^

blue 10-20 sounds like a lot to me

Then you will have an enjoyable experience in finding those
species around ^.^ By the way, just a small tip, for fish which
sells at a price of above US$50, you would wish to make a bargain.
a 10% off is usually available in the stores... ^_^

Has anyone being to Chan Ming's place?

http://www.chanmingdiscus.com

What do you think?

He was known as the "King of Discus" in Hong Kong once upon the time;
His store was called No. 8 and was quite well-established.

As far as i know, he does sell some apistos, but he is NOT rated as a guy in
apistos trade... his store is also NOT classified as a place for apisto
hobbyists in Hong Kong.
