Canadian Tanks

[Booswalia]

Does anyone know of any Canadian online retailers for fish and plants? I don't want to have to leave the island (PEI) just to get a couple of ottos and an SAE. It's $45 bucks just for the bridge toll.

I swear I'm the only person in my province keeping a planted tank and I'm so frustrated with my LFS, I really doubt that I'll be going back there. And I don't have a lot of LFS's to choose from. NONE of them know anything about keeping fish let alone keeping plants in a tank. Every clerk seems to have a thriving planted tank at home with discus and and barbs and cichlid.....and oh, there just doing so well. :mad: I can't be bothered arguing with them, it's not worth it.

Okay....I'm starting to vent. I better git.

Thanks ChilDawg, but Big Als doesn't sell fish in Canada and the other place doesn't seem to exist any more.

I've been searching for some time now. :(

[ChilDawg]

Hmm...I just pulled those from a search engine. I apologize for getting the hopes up there.

Try this place http://www.ottawaaquatics.com/index.htm They are in Ottawa. A real pain to get a hold of on the phone though. They sell mostly plants, you might want to give them a try. There is also a place in Montreal called Below water http://belowwater.com/index.html They specialize in wild caught and unusual fish. I have read a few good reviews about them from people on one of the fish forums I visit.

Isn't one of our members selling fish etc online? Was it somefinnfishy?

[ChilDawg]

'Twas him. Yeah, check to see if he will ship to Canada!

[Booswalia]

The only thing I can find is a place called Somefin's Fishy and they are in Australia.

It seems a bit outrageous that I should have to order all the way from Australia to get a couple of ottos and SAEs.

Doesn't it???

[ChilDawg]

No, somefinnfishy is someone that you could pm on this board. There's gotta be somebody closer than Australia who'd send you an algae team! :)

[Booswalia]

Oh, that sounds better. I'll do a search on the board for him.

Thanks.

Every time I see little SAE's at local fish stores, which is surprisingly often, I think to myself "some people would love to have these guys" but I don't have the space for them. They're always stuck in with flying foxes, I don't think lfs staff know the difference. I haven't seen Otos too many times. I'd ship you some SAE's, but they wouldn't make it alive, so I'd rather not :) I'll think of you every time I see them, ok?

Thanks Starry. :(
