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.

At this point of time,there are just too many unconfirmed news and rumours.There are just as many unconfirmed deaths.Let us not be too paranoid and accrued all untreatable recent deaths to SVC.There are still shipments coming out of China but whether they are through unauthorised routes or under disguised of another company we may never know.My advice is to be prudent and buy Chinese fish at your own risk.The quarantine protocol has to be extra stringent and prolonged.Mortality rate of SVC can be as high as 70% and above!
