An aquarium shop in Kovan that’s been around for around 50 years has fallen on hard times recently, according to a Facebook user.
Without social media to help the elderly couple drive marketing, they’ve lacked sales in the past two to three months.

As such, the user is posting on Facebook to share their plight and hopefully bring some customers.
According to Bellebelle Metta Amulet, the shop named Wong’s Fancy Fish has fallen on hard times in recent months.
The owners, Uncle Wong and his wife, are in their 70s and have no children.
Although both of them work at the shop, Uncle Wong is the “sole breadwinner”, and it falls on him to pay all their bills.
Auntie Wong, however, falls sometimes as her legs are not well, Bellebelle Metta Amulet said.
They have had “zero income” recently.
“I believe social media might help the both of them to overcome their hard time,” Bellebelle Metta Amulet added in the post.
The post ended up getting over a thousand shares, with many sharing to help out this elderly couple.
The OP even went down to the shop with their kids to support them.
“Just visit Uncle Wong with my kids . . . Uncle Wong really appreciated [the help] from social media.”
Others vouch for Uncle Wong’s services, one of them saying he is super friendly and runs the shop all by himself.
