Buying fish online (canada)

- Start date
from my looking around there isnt, some places might my send you fish but you will have to pick it up at the airport but you will have to pay some stupid fees as well as duty fees...
aquascapeonline.com, sharkaquarium.com are american sites that ship to canada, but as previously stated there are duty fees and terminal fees to be paid. Massive Aggression is an american company that also has canadian destributors, i would try them!
Riverfront Aquariums in Calgary will ship, as will Gold's (www.cichlids.ca). Gold's is awesome, however their site isn't really updated anymore due to other commitments from the guy that's running it. Best bet is that you give them a email inquiring about what you're looking for. Gold's has really good prices as well.
Spencer Jack (www.cichlaholic.ca) is another good one. Specializes in Cichlids. Very reasonable shipping rates. Have dealt with in the past.
And I've dealt with Ryan from MA before, very pleasant to deal with as mentioned.
Look up East Coast Aquarium Society(aquarium society based out east somewhere, NB I believe) on google and go to their forum. They have a list of vendors that they've had dealt with before with group orders. However it was a decently long list that I don't know off the top of my head.
Below water (who's also a sponsor here) is another, never dealt with. But have heard good things.
Those are all the Canadian based ones I know of. Another US one that ships is Toyin, I've asked before. However, unless you're after something rare that you can't get in Canada, I wouldn't bother. Cause shipping and customs alone will probably run you around $300 or so at least when I looked into it a couple years ago. Hope that helps!

That's the link for the East Coast Aquarium society. I was at work earlier and didn't know the link off hand.
Also, another one is fishgallery (http://fishgallery.ca/) out of Winnipeg. Some good selection, but prices aren't the greatest. But they do get some rarer stuff in. Haven't dealt with, but have heard good things.

honestly I would recommend just talking to you LFS to see if they can order you what you want. that way you wont have to pay all the airport fees and custom fees which would cost a lot more then the fish I am sure. I know for a dog the fees almost equal the cost of the dog...

You dunno Saskatoon prices... a ornate costs $110!!! It would save me money even to order just one fish and pay $30 for it and have it shipped for $60. I haven't bought locally in ages because the prices are just insanely high.
