Who doesn’t like fish? This little-tiny-funny animal is adored by everyone, even if you can’t swim as it does. Believed by its relaxing-magical power when you see it, fish is more than just a water-creature which can be placed in a cubical glass. It is alive, for many reasons. Connecting people, earning people, entertaining people.
In Surabaya, there’s a place named Irian Barat street which is always busy of its ‘fish-things’. It’s located near Kayoon street, which is famous as the center of flowers-shop. Although it’s not always about selling fishes here, the fish lovers will be very fond. There are kois, arowanas, even piranhas!
But the fishes are friendly to other animals. You can also find fat bunnies, handsome cats, gentle chipmunks, sturdy-cobra, or the-slowly-but-sure animals, turtle. And for no many reasons, you can’t pass by this area without buying anything. They are too beautiful, you can’t afford to ignore them.
Selling-schedule:
every Saturday-evening until Sunday-morning and Wednesday-evening until Thursday-morning
A little-trip tips:
It’s better if you keep your eyes obviously to the fish because you'd have to be worry about the fungus on their bodies. Come in the morning, so you can see where is the fungus...
Sopo sing gak seneng karo iwak? Kewan cilik, menthik, lucu iki digendhengi wongakeh, masio koen gak isok renang koyok de'e.

Fighter fish is the most popular species among children. Those kids were really passionate in challenging their fighter fish with another fighter fishes (which are displayed in the fish market). They bring their own fighter fishes near the opponent-fishes, then one of them will try to threat each other, pushing their head on the plastic surface.Iwak tarung iku jenis iwak sing paling terkenal nang arek cilik.
