| | | Releasing goldfish
Anyone know of a pond where I can release my goldfish as I will be relocating overseas. A local fish seller told me there is a park near the LKF hotel but I'm not sure where it is. I live in Midlevels West/ Sheung Wan.
Thanks! | |

| | | Contact the animal humane society for suggestions. after years of service to you you are dumping them in a pond? how about giving them to a friend or a kid who will be more than happy to provide them a good life and receive the same enjoyment you got out of them? Take them with you? Doesnt seem that difficult. I feel sorry for your fish. | |

| | | CausewayBay - for feng shui reasons I would prefer to free my fish rather than pass them to another owner. It is equivalent to giving someone else the good fortune and luck you received from the goldfish! | |

| | | So you'd rather let your fish die than to get them a good home for feng shui reason?
I don't even think it's legal to release your fish in public parks. | |

| | | What makes you believe that the fish is going to die in the pond? I would think that a pond in the park is about as good a place as gets for a fish - probably much better than the current fish tank. | |

| | | How about Hollywood Road Park. It's very close to you on the Western end of Hollywood Road at the top of Sheung Wan. They've got a pond there with fish in it. | |

Also your fish could be carrying a disease/infection which could spread and kill off everything in the pond. | |

| | | Thanks for the suggestion Lammarite and Nation.
For those concerned about the welfare of the goldfishes, dont be - they will be free to swim in a much larger area. In any case, the conditions they are sold in the first place in HK are much worse. | | Tools | Search | | | | | Rate This Thread | | | All times are GMT +8. The time now is 02:56 PM. | |
