Buying Seahorses in Canada?

[nickb]

I'm planning to set-up a seahorse tank and was planning to buy my stock from Seanic Aquarium (the main supplier of CB seahorses in Canada). But, their web site is down and I can't get any response from them. So, since we can't import seahorses from the US, I'm looking for alternate suppliers. Does anyone have any suggestions about where I could buy CB seahorses in Canada?

Thanks.

Nick, Aaron is pretty much done, as for another site, try J&L out in BC, or otherwise go to the org and search for "erectus in Canada" - you will find a post from Glen about 3 weeks ago with captive bred for sale - I purchased 7 and Yvan from Montreal has 4 which we both got last week. They are great, and I think Glen may have a few more.

Thanks. I've added a post over on the Org. I've looked at J&L in the past (and bought a bunch of stuff from them). However, they only have seahorses very occasionally and I've never been sure if they were CB or WC.

Pity there aren't more supply sources in Canada. And a pity about Aaron; hope he is OK himself.

Mr. Big might have them in from time to time, but not sure if it ever goes up to the two BA in Ottawa. Last time I was talking to some LFS (forgot who), I was told that all seahorse coming in nowadays are CB, if they are not CB, they 'should' not be able eligble for CITIES.
