Thanks for the help!
I'll definitely go to the Gold Fish Street as well as visiting the 5 shore listed by amiidae.
Since a lot of the stores do not operate in street level, it is not easy to find them.

I hope there are members here from Hong Kong.
I am heading to Hong Kong in 2 weeks and would like to visit stores specialized in pleco.
