Ordering Fish in Canada

[swoop_ds]

Any Canadians out there have a place that they order from that is relatively safe and inexpensive? Currently I use www.jlaquatics.com but I'm wondering if there are any better sites out there? Thanks,

I have never ordered anything on line...

Sorry to be of no help.

Where 'bouts in Canada are you located??

 

[swoop_ds]

I live in Regina, Sask and I'll be moving to Moose Jaw, sask. There's a few stores in Regina but the only one in Moose Jaw drives to the airport to get his stuff so I might as well bypass him and order myself(unless the shipping ends up being too much). Jlaquatics has a better policy than all the stores I buy from anyways(the stores don't garauntee livestock at all).

i'm looking for somewhere to order online as well, but more for equipment. i'm near Toronto but the LFS prices are ridiculous compared to the prices i see online. i don't want to have to pay for customs and stuff like that so am looking for a Canadian company. i prefer to let the LFS bring in the fish and let them deal with any deaths and quarantine the livestock.

swoop_ds, check out http://www.saskreef.ca if you haven't already (kind of the unofficial Saskatchewan marine club).

Another popular place is SaltWaterConnection, out of Winnipeg. http://www.saltwaterconnection.com.

That's a good store, I was just in there this past weekend. They have an ataipsia problem tho.

You should check out Extreem Marine in Toronto. Talk to Archie. Verry helpful.

Which stores in Toronto have soft corals in larger (or better) assortment and prices (lower) comparing to Big Al's? Which are mostly fish? Other good suppliers? Thanks.

You could also check out http://www.canreef.com/.
Ive found it to be a great resource for things a little closer to home.
