[humphreyLove101]

creepy chineese

[sandofarms]

MMMMMM delicious hanging goldfish meals. I wonder how many bags you need to buy to make a lunch.

[74lilchris]

looks like the saltwater fish gets better RESPECT the the freshwater fish..... thats just sad.

[AzrealNyx]

i wonder what happens when the air supply in the bag runs out, do they just throw them away or what? im sure they end up eating them.

[soawsomestuff]

the iphone 4 was out in 2010?

[drakkingothgod]

holy fuck!!! that place is awesome, i'd roam around there for hours just looking at all the fish :D

[bethanyvictoria4]

THIS IS SO CRUEL. My heart goes out to any animals in Japan, China and Thailand most people there seem to have no intelligence in looking and treating animals well. And those poor birds aswell in those tiny cages birds don not belong in cages they deserve to be free if only I was there I would every single one of those fish and animals!

[scarhbar23]

@bethanyvictoria4 hate to break it to you, but if you go to your local petstore, you'll find dogs being kept in extremely cramped conditions. Or maybe go to petsmart? they have bettas in little cups. Before conquering the world with your PETA shit, look at your local petstores.

[bethanyvictoria4]

@scarhbar23 Woah what are you going on about I was simply stating that it's cruel to keep fish like this but I hate to brake to you also that I live in England and we don't have dogs in pets stores we only have little animals and fish and all the pet stores I go to are kept in brilliant condition this has nothing to do with this video though so it's irrelevant. There's load of places that are cruel to animals and It's ashame to see it and this shouldn't be happening because it's just barbaric.

[yaseralamshakuli]

i think keeping pet is a crime it self...i mean they belong to wild with open environment but we keep them in aquarium may be big but still not big enough for them to roam..

[wtfman098]

@yaseralamshakuli goldfish arent wild animals!! you cannot release them into the wild because their bred carp and pretty much end of story,goldfish and all these colorful fish are aquarium fish.

[trickyproductions]

honestly the only cruel thing i see is the goldfish in bags. the reef tanks are very well amintained. i loled at the fish shop being right next to a guy cooking fish 1:52

[nomads2311]

to all idiots who think that buying these fish and releasing them would do good, you're all idiots... Look up Asian Carp in the missisipi or Snake heads invasion... All because some dumb ass hippie decided to release a non native fish to "Save" them

So stop whinning

[FadBamsen11]

Disgusting



[AnimeGigon]

only 3 words for this.... wow o.o

[kmscutie132]

What happens when one of those bags breaks...thats what i´d like to know!

[TheVenomouslove]

I love this (: I would love to go here. Did a painting of a goldfish and have been dying for a fancy goldfish tank ever since. Veiltails and fantails, you will be mine! ♥

[TheVenomouslove]

Dear people, you're dumb. They're being SOLD its not like they're trapped in a bag forever. Have you ever bought a fish? they send them home in a BAG. Now let me ask you, How do you propose thousands of fish be sold in a cost effective manner other than bags? You got to think of, pH levels, community fish, fresh vs salt water, and water temperatures. Buying ALL of them tanks is out of the question. Have you seen the prices of that? They all get sold and go home to happy tanks. Calm your shit.

[brendahodgins]

I love it! I could spend a whole vacation on that street! The fish look clean and none of the bags look soiled. They must be changed daily if they are not sold.

[looiechung87]

Don't know why people are complaining here when they know nothing. H.K is one of the busiest cities in the world and those fish have a huge turnover daily. When people used to go to fairs in the U.K, you got a goldfish in a bag as a prize!!!! AND this was not from fish keeping professionals but gypsies! So what have you got to say about that now....? Hmmmm

[7ANK3R]

This is just sad...heartless bastards.

[beastly789100]

i now want to go there and rescue all the fish

[junkyazz]

thanks man i will go n buy from there..

[dxseven]

this is horrific

[shizukashiawase]

I feel sorry for the fishes trapped in the small plastic bags

[vito4355]

dovunque t giri sempre animali o fish ,poveretti

[katinkakyara]

this is cruel,and what when the oxygene in those sac is gone?????????

they don't gonna open all those sac everytime!!!!!

and fotojensen,you can do bussiness and also be good for the animals!

wish everyone good holidays

[erntam1990]

@katinkakyara They usually inject the bag with oxygen so they dont run out of air and fishs usually sold quick because there are many that have fish tanks at home(due to limit living space).

[SCRUBSiheart]

Wow, they keep them in bags already? Here, they get in bags when you buy them and then you put them directly into your aquarium. It doesn't matter if this is business. Cash seems to run the world. People don't care about animals as long as they bring in money so this is cruel.

[ProWilsonTan]

imagine the fish feel fuck

lol

[AleeGermanotta]

POBRESS ANIMALES! DEJENLOS VIVIR MALDITOS CHINOS! ELLOS NO MERECEN VIVIR ASI! :@

[Elastria]

Why the hell are they selling them in bags and not in large aquariums? What are they thinking? Morons! They don't care about the fish.... they just care about cash... Course the people there think it's pretty cool they're in bags and it's convenient to get the bag and buy it. I don't care how small the fish is, they all deserve to swim in a big tank.

[09mrskinnyjeans]

i've been there

discus cost between 4,5 hk doller

[mrcheekycheeks]

@09mrskinnyjeans thats like 50 cents american. Crazy how they are 50 cents here and 50 dollars in america.....o_O

[Crazygirl13846]

hftsbhuythfg poor fishes !! Let them be in BIG aqariums !! ANIMAL CRUEL

[SCRUBSiheart]

@Crazygirl13846 I wish also that they would be in aquariums. If they put them in the bag after they've been bought, like they do it in a serious shop that knows how to deal with animals, then it would be fine.

[killereyez777]

lion head pair cost between 5 to 10 $

[killereyez777]

these bags are filled with oxygen a fish can easily survive up to 3 to 4

hours in these bags all the fish stores do the same in pakistan and we get the fishes in very cheep prices normal goldfish pair cost us 3 $ max

[Relco12]

Cruel but awesome btw Everyone buy fishes and realease them :)

[TheVenomouslove]

@Relco12 you realize about all these fish would die if you just "release them" right? majority of fancy goldfish cannot survive effectively in a pond. This is why theyre aquarium pets. This is like letting a yorkie into a wolf pack or a hamster into a forest.

[s0uthp4w68]

these people have been selling fish like this for a while now, i think they know how long their money can survive in a bag.

[10foothole]

that was cool!

[MsDevilDawg]

Thats kind of cool actually. xD

[gatekeaper80]

wow what im in a bag kill me now(3 seconds later) wow what im in a bag kill me now for the rest of there lives.

[jaredultimatum]

I've seen beta fish last months just in a bag like that. The pet store owner would just pin them up on the bulletin board. But goldfish can't do that.

[SharaLynnMae]

stupid



[Awesomedawgies]

jerks no evil jerks

[jay733]

I hope they realize the fish can only survive in a bag for a few hours.....

[kutoster]

i wonder if it takes them forever to get the fish in bags back into tanks..

[MadAboutAltonTowers]

@deliciousfugu

If you think that is racist, you should see someone with some knowledge

[MadAboutAltonTowers]

Doesnt mean a japanese man doesnt own it ;) @deliciousfugu

[deliciousfugu]

@MadAboutAltonTowers also doesn't mean an english man (idk your nationality) own it ;) please don't be racist.

[NasserHamedi]

Man leave me there and I will never come back home :D ... there is a place just like this in Iran... I forgot to go there when I went down there... Fish is a BIG thing in Asia and Middle East!

[MadAboutAltonTowers]

Fucking Japanese scroats

[deliciousfugu]

@MadAboutAltonTowers this isn't japan. hong kong is in china!

[ausasuda086chompu]

น่าจะมีที่เมืองไทย บาง นะ



[Fotojensen]

I feel very sad for the fish... This is cruel.

[anuj7087]

@Fotojensen This is not cruel. This is business.

[SCRUBSiheart]

@Fotojensen Agreed.

[MultiShmed]

@Fotojensen China is like that with humans too...

[cheese82580]

@Fotojensen Youd do realise Theres LIVE Plants in those bags

[TheVenomouslove]

@Fotojensen ...Okay, how do you propose they sell thousands and thousands of fish in a cost effective manner?

[fxaznboi71]

thats like a fish mall there i would love to go there and see all those fish



[babanachiket]

that ll be like heaven for me... lol...

[loloryry411]

while i can't say that keeping fish in a bag like that all day is good for them, i totally want to go see a market like that :) fish everywhere it's a dream come true! lol

[mastaJedi420]

lol i saw a discus in a bag

[Shrubbs]

@mastaJedi420 Lol! I thought I did too but assumed it was just an illusion

[MissBigFishy]

woooooahhhhh, thats crazy. i'd love to experience that for myself. seeing that street and looking at everything there.

[MrNarutofan11]

How about next time in the goldfish market,take some videos of the damn goldfish?
