Bringing in guppies from Taiwan

29-11-2011, 10:50 PM

Hi Bros,

I am still very new here and would like some advice. I will be going Taiwan at the end of the year, can i ask if i want to buy guppies there to bring back, how do i go about doing that? Do i need to apply for anything? or put in styrofoam box or go through special check in? And where in Taiwan can i find these fishes?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Check in with your luggage and ensure there is no leakage. I prefer to repack them individually in small bags so that if one fish dies or gives birth, the water will not be foul. I also use those sports waterproof bags that come in different liter sizes instead of Styrofoam boxes. Provided the fishes are not endangered or anything, AVA allows the fishes to be brought in in less than 1L of water with no more that 30 fishes.... I think... Hope this helps.

Do you ever think about it.

You could not even bring your mineral water to clear it.
