Tung Hoi Update Options

[Mortevicar]

I received confirmation today that the authorities have destroyed the entire Tung Hoi stock - apparently hundreds of thousands of fish are now dead - this information is not common knowledge as importers are scared this will "frighten" off customers for good - I feel we, as goldfish enthusiasts have the right to know - my entire tank was virtually wiped out because of SVC from fish from Tung Hoi.

Tung Hoi has been shut down until a full investigation is complete.

Importing of goldfish to Australia from China has been banned until further notice.

Hmmm... Strange. A friend of mine from another forum has just confirmed that the fish store she used to work at has just received a Tung Hoi shipment under a different company name. Seems this SVC scare is starting a firestorm of rumors. It'll be interesting to see which (if any) of these theories bears out in the upcoming weeks and months. You know SVC has some pretty common symptoms, many of which are indicative of other issues. Did you have any of your fish necropsied? One way or the other, nothing beats a good quarantine tank for defense against such issues.
