Are there any inexpensive bichirs in Canada?

[Cholly]

A friend from Canada on another forum was drooling over my new senegal. I suggested PetSmart because I got mine for $5.99 there and knew they had PetSmarts in Canada. She went to her local PetSmart, and sure enough they had 2 to 3 inch senegals, labeled "Dinosaur Eels", just like mine, but they were thirty bucks. Does anybody know a place in or around Edmonton that might have them for less? I have a feeling I'm going to end up mailing her a pair for her birthday otherwise.

Big al's over price thier bichirs up here. The only thing I can think of is pet smart. Try wallmart if they have some.

Taxes would be an issue if she came down, not to mention the gasoline. If I mail them as a gift, no taxes. If I go up to see them this summer, I might take a pair, shouldn't be any taxes as long as they're a gift.

The thing about Big al's here is that they over price their bichirs and they are also mislabeled.

Went to Big Al's about 2 months ago and they both have palmas polli. They labeled the newly arrival skinny palmas polli as endlicheri congicus and the old stocks a lil' fat palmas polli as retropinnis.

Theres a guy in Edmonton who has successfully bred numerous species of bichirs. Im sure he would sell some of the offspring cheap if not give them away.
