One thing no heaters are used because of the climate. So there blows the cold water gold fish theory.
Just saying.

Snakehead
If only the stores where I live would care for them as well as what they do there. Just look at how pristine those tanks are
Quite a culture shock though to see them all pre bagged like that
My poor babies
I come from HK,
Look for visit there in Bangkok next time.

You'd have to contact this store and have them import the fish. You can NOT bring fish on airplanes - they will get confiscated.
ends up with a 50 gallon with tons of plants with tetras, discus, guppies, some bettas and Cory cats
Me: well I think I went a little bit further....
The fish are bred that way
i mean its obviously overstocked packets damn thats so sad
They are classed as "monster fish" for a reason, they are beautiful & I love them but I can't have one (not enough space) so good luck.
comes home with a fully aquascaped 30 gallon tank, 10 guppies, 10 red cherry shrimp, and a betta (story of my life)
Greetings from Brazil! Great video!
I do understand the fish are all shipped that way but that is generally done in a very short time frame. I had no idea how long the fish in the video were in the bags for.
I am really impressed with the variety and quality of the plants, though. Wish I had those options here.
also would you please confirm me the details of any shop keeper for details???

Two; You're not saving any precious fish lives by posting comments in youtube videos, if you really care about these fish why not actually do something about it?
that's a terrible thing to happen to the poor fish.
Usually this time of year the fish are bagged up with oxygen. Then placed in a large bag with other bagged fish. Placed in a styrofoam box, with heat pads. Sometimes packed with newspaper. Placed in a cardboard box, then taped up. Most of the time they are not in shipping or transit more than 24 hrs. Summer or winter i never really lost much due to shipping.
The fishes in these bags, whether they be in air transit from a hobbyist breeder, a Florida fish farm, or an Asian fish hatchery, to a wholesaler, or displayed in Asian aquarium stores, are routinely fasted for a day before they are transferred to these bags. This prevents them from rapidly contaminating the small volume of water in the bag with their feces, and reduces the amount of very toxic ammonia that they release through their gills (unlike humans and other mammals, fishes generally don't convert their nitrogenous waste [which is produced mainly from the protein in their food] into urea, then into urine, and unlike birds and most reptiles, they don't convert their nitrogenous waste into uric acid and urates. They excrete nitrogenous waste as unconverted ammonia directly into their water through their gills; this ammonia is much more toxic to all animals than urine or urates).
If you know ANYTHING about aquarium or pond fishkeeping, you know that until the biological filter in your aquarium(s) or pond is fully established, you MUST feed your fishes minimal amounts of food to prevent them from poisoning themselves with their own waste products. Because full establishment of a bio filter generally takes 2 to 3 weeks, (some of the new bacteria additives do actually start the biofilter right after they are added to a tank, BUT even using these products still requires 2 to 3 weeks for the seeded biofilter to reach full efficiency) the fishes DO require feeding during this time. When live fishes are shipped or displayed in small volumes of water in plastic bags, ammonia neutralizers are by necessity added to their water. If a fish will only spend 1 or 2 days in a bag, there is NO need to feed it, and there are MANY good reasons to not feed it! The metabolism of tropical fishes in their preferred temperature range is much slower than that of humans, and far slower than that of birds. Don't equate the nutritional needs of a fish with those of a human, or those of a human with most birds!
I've been an aquarist for well over 60 years (I'm a biologist by training and profession), and I worked in the aquarium fish business for much of the 1970s. Although I was born and (mostly) raised in the NE US, I've also spent a good part of my life visiting and travelling around the world, particularly Southeast and East Asia and Western and Central Europe. If you want to see REAL cruelty to fishes, take a look at our US live baitfish industry (our feeder Goldfish and Fathead Minnow industry is a part of this multibillion dollar business), which is also responsible for spreading diseases and parasites to our native fishes, and check out the disease ridden, dying, stressed out fishes at any Petco, Petsmart or other large chain 'petstore'.
I tire of the hordes of science illiterate, emotion driven, racist, xenophobic, fundamentalist Social Justice Warriors and 'animal rights' meddlers who unwittingly flaunt their ignorance about animals, pets, and people and cultures who differ from their own self deluded and self inflated view of their own (often very different from reality) culture and society.
I almost invariably find that the pet fishes offered for sale in Southeast and East Asian stores are healthier and of FAR better quality than those that I buy from retailers and wholesalers here in the US. (For that matter, I generally find the pet fishes in German and Austrian stores to be better than those offered here, but most of their fishes now come from Southeast Asia!) And the selection is generally MUCH better in Asia, as well.
Before you talk shit you should understand some basic things first.
70% of all Thais have an hourly wage of about 1 Euro, or less. These fish are almost exclusively for local sales.
How is the hourly wage in Norway?
For Thais are many fish here, very expensive ...
Tourist buy no living fish.
The price is a local price,
With EXPORT, one must consider. A large part of the "commodity"
Does not survive.
In addition, the high AIR-MAIL costs, Taxes ectr.
Also the profit for wholesale and retail ..
No wonder the price has to be considerably higher ...
tanks
VERY NICE VIDEO@!!!!
Thumbs Up For You
They'll live, just uncomfortably.
ughno no n o stoP
lol... but yea, I'd rather just hear the natural sounds of the Market.
Why would business people kill like hundreds of their livestock and loose profit? Don't be dumb. The fish look healthy and well fed so shut up.
He must be very very expensive..
Otin
Nope
Dude, you're taking it a little too far
STOP ABUSING YOUR BODY!!
I'm waiting.
trust us people who know a thing or two about this, they release them after the day is done.
stupid vegans
2. Don't exaggerate on the tank is over crowded and they can't move. they can.
3. The tank is clean enough imo. Can you manage to clean a whole shop?
If little things and issues like this stress you out, then i suggest you quit this hobby.
2. They live in over crowed tanks where they can't move.
3.The tanks never get cleaned out.
That enough for you???
what do you meen the werent . i see no dead fish the water sparkling clear
Thousands of primitive lives imprisoned forever
That is literally right.
You should get some :)
At an exchange rate of $1 to 37 you can buy expensive fish for much less...but if the shipping and regulations are expensive the point in mut.
I doubt in a place like that there is anything anyone can do about it though, which is sad.
I would have so many species tanks if I had a local fish market like this.
If America had more shops that truly catered to fish people the hobby would be a lot more popular. Having a tropical climate where these animals could survive outdoors would probably help too :)
jealous!
btw- what are those white wriggly things in the plastic bag at 11:04 - 11:06 ?
I saw some crooked fish,but at the same time some of the bags had plants in them.
1:05 What is up with those deformed snakeheads ? I think they're snakeheads? I wanna grab them at each end and pull them straight! lol
5:00 and again at 9:00 was that a tank filled with Arapaima gigas ? wow!
great job!
