I hear there's alot more options available for buying online so i was wondering, what sites do you people use to buy fish online? I know live aquaria and blue zoo are 2 of the big ones out there but unfortunately for me they are unavailable as they do not ship to Canada :cry:. Also does anyone know any sites online that DO ship to Canada?
 
these are the ones i have located...
Canadian
http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/store_pages/mainpage.php
http://www.reefconcept.com/catalog/index.php?language=en
http://www.reefaquatica.com/store/
http://www.oceaniccorals.com/store/index.php
American that ship to Canada
http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/catalog/index.php
http://www.marinedepot.com/

Now I haven't ordered from any of these, so I cant vouch for them. Also not all have livestock or many options, but they all supply marine equiptment/supplies, and a number of them have livestock.
 
marine depot and bulk reef supply are really good for supplies and equipment, lowest prices on most items and reasonable shipping

i was really wanting to know about livestock though.
 
oceanic corals was really decent but everything they have that i want is either out of stock or over priced.
 
jlaquatics is the only one on the list with a lot of livestock but they are sadly laking in info and pics, Online Canadian options are sadly limited, I spend a good 30 min a day trying to find new/better ones.
 
i wish jlaquatics took pics....then I'd definitely order from then.

They likely are alright, maybe you could request pics of specific fish. At the same time you could always use a different site to find the fish you like and then order them from JL and if you get the wrong fish then tell them that they sent the wrong one (though be careful as some sites I've seen are wrong in both image and scientific name)
 
doesn't big al's sell live fish?
