Ok, so if there is already a thread on this, please forgive me and also point me in that direction.
I live in Northern Ontario, Canada in a small town and I'm setting up my new 135gal to keep some Polypterus, specifically Senegalus and Delhezi (and a couple Datnoids). My LFS is absolute garbage and even if they could get Bichirs, I would not purchase them from there.
I live in a small town roughly 2hrs north of North Bay, Ontario. As long as they can handle the stress of a long car ride, I'm willing to make a lengthy trip to get these guys. I'm able to go as far north as Timmins (2hrs each way) or down to Toronto/southern area of the province (7-9hrs depending on which city exactly).
Obviously, the shorter the drive the better. But if it is necessary to go on a long journey, I'd like to at least have an idea of where to check instead of going on a wild goose chase.
I've tried google to find an online supplier, or even a store that carries them, but I'm not finding much. I'd much prefer to see the fish in person before I buy it as well. I spoke to the manager of Big Al's in Barrie when I picked up my aquarium and he said they rarely get them in and as it stands they also have no plans to order any in the coming months. So at this particular moment I'm at a bit of a loss.
TL;DR - Where, between Timmins and Toronto Ontario, do I have a good chance of getting my hands on some Senegalus and Delhezi?
