Has anyone ordered fish from "The Fish Sempai" in Toronto? Or have you been there in person? I'm looking for a Canadian mail order place for fancy goldfish to be shipped to BC, and that's the only one I could find - prices seem a bit high but if the quality is there, I don't mind . .

I'm looking specifically for a panda, veiltail and butterfly moor, and sizes around 4-6". My LFS's can possibly order these less common varieties, but I'll pay the price so I figure I may as well order them myself if I can. This is on Vancouver Is. There are way bigger stores on the mainland (like Big Al's retail outlet) but I have to take 2 ferries to shop over there which adds about $150 to the cost!
 
Unfortunately, I haven't ordered any fish online. My LFS here on the mainland will get pretty much any fish I ask for, so I don't see the need in purchasing online. I haven't looked on Van. Island for petshops so I can't recommend any there. Too bad ferries are so expensive now (and crash :duh: ). I'd recommend a specific LFS here but that would be an additional hour and a half drive (at least) off the ferries.
Sorry I couldn't help!

Thanks for the reply Ems. I take it from reading one of your posts in April that you don't care for Big Al's much. I'll take any recomendations you do have, though. You never know when I might have some other reasons for crossing the water (it takes at least 3 to make it worthwhile!) I live on Gabriola Is.
