Buying fish online in Canada - Aquarium Advice

**Zagz** · 07-10-2005, 05:29 PM

Where is a good site to buy fish online in Canada? Also how are they shipped, to your door or your mailbox? I have never done this before.

Thanks for the speedy response! I am looking for a pleco that isn't "common" and stays smaller and all the [acronym:a31b376b0f="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:a31b376b0f] have the common types. Well one has a gold nugget pleco, but he still gets to be 7" or more.
