A further 1 minute driving towards central you get to a busier area (not sure the name) about 1/2 km past bungy turn off and about 200 metres before Phuket Country Club turn off. On the left is a small thai owned fish shop that has plenty of tanks, fish, plants etc.
Dad just got a 196 liter tank last week. They delivered it, tank, sand, filter, light, tank stand. 4,000 baht.
Plants work out to be around 25 baht each and then depends on the fish, how much. Saw a small sting ray you can get for 3,000 baht.
It's turned out to be a very nice aquarium. That's for the large size so something smaller should be in the same price range if not a little less.

One small step for gupster.. One giant leap for guppy kind.. (queue "Movin on up" etc).. Hes gone from a murky jam jar to a slick pad with lighting, cell mates, etc.
Spinner is one happy bunny !! I have brownie points up the yin yang.. Reckon I could skip off to patts on this 1500 baht investment
Tried Kathu.. No way in hell I could find the first place even 2 or 3 drive bys.. Second one in main town was good enough, priced a mini setup there, got tempted to go full on and do a nice big setup, managed to put the wallet back and escape before I impulse bought something really daft.
Had found
this place online and went and had a look.. Mini setup with 2 freshwater shrimp loads of fish, pumps, filter, sand, plants, etc etc currently bubbling away. When I have a house I feel I am staying in I am thinking I will get a big tank and go at it..
