Hi all,

Does anyone know a mail order fish company in Canada?

I am tired of local stores (even supposed specialty stores) saying they will try to get something in, only to write down my name and never talk to me again.

I have been looking for nearly a year for yellow-tail congo tetras, or secondarily debaui cats (Hemigrammopetersius caudali, Pareutropius buffei)(the latter supposedly quite common...)

Thanks for any thoughts!

Keegan

I can't find the link i want(can't remember the name of the store) but here are soem links to some sites. http://www.nwstar.com/~sas/links.htm#comm

Where in alberta do you live? Have you tried contacting the aquarium society in your city or one close to you?

I have seen dubawi cats in a LFS in edmonton a few times. I haven't seen yellow tailed congos,just the regular ones.

There are a couple of Big Al's over in Alberta too.

valerie - Do you happen to know when and where the fish show is going to be? I've never had the time to see one before, but the Aquarium Club's website is still under construction.

I was on Calgary's site, and they said something about their annual show being cancelled because of an Edmonton show date. I was just wondering if you know where Edmonton's Aquarium Club usually has their auctions/shows. I really want to get my hands on some harder to find plants.

I think the show that calgary was talking about was the show that already happened(i think it was in sept. but i can't really remember) and the spring auction happened last month. THere probably won't be another auction untill the fall. Are you a part of the message group? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ACE_fish_club/ that way you can get the info if you aren't a member. IF you want hard to find plants have you tried to get dad's to order them? or post a message on the board and ask some of the members.

I've asked the lady at DAD's fishroom whether or not they bring in riccia, or glossostigma... and her answer was rarely (btw, that is probably the only place I buy my plants from :) ).
