Toronto

[vanceny]

I'm driving up to Toronto this weekend. Anyone know of any interesting fish stores worth stopping by at on the way or in Toronto?

Haven't been to Toronto in over 10 years, not to sure. I'm the same way, is it that even when we go on vacation, business or any other leasure time we always think reefs or what's the closest LFS? HAHA....I do the same damn thing and it pisses off my g/f. I think my cousin once told me that they have a really nice aquarium there not to sure. Well have fun on your trip, you picke dthe perfect time to drive gas prices are at $2.95 per gallon.

Wow, I am going upto Buffalo this weekend and I probably stop by Toronto as well. Is there any good LFS in Buffalo area? I might want to stop by.

Big Al's - Canada

In Buffalo, the best one for corals is AquaTech
Then theres Saltwater Paradise, Pets Plus, and The Fish Place

If you're going through the Rochester area, check out Carribean Forest, and The Reef Shoppe

like what ming said. personally i prefer the ones in Rochester although Aquatech in Buffalo (near the airport) is getting there. HTH.

 

[vanceny]

thanks deanos. I'll be staying right in that area.

the only things i remember from Toronto are the nuddie bars

I grew up in Buffalo (yes, I know, sorry me!)
Go Bills... and I agree, Aquatech is the best that Buffalo offers... but it is a 2hr drive from Toronto

Just checked the exchange rate $1 us = $1.1044 Can. The canadian prices at Big Al's is almost double the US price. Looks like I won't be buying anything. But worth the visit.

Might be 2 hours from Toronto, but it shouldn't be much off course when you're driving from NYC to Toronto.
Assuming you're driving because I'm not sure how they'll react if you try to bring liquid on a plane now. (Everybody down! I have a fish in a bag and I know how to use it!) :lol:

I bet the Vietnamese strip in Toronto has some kewl stuff for sale - clams etc.

Last time I was there (1988) I believe they just finished the needle and were under construction for the sky dome

Great authentic Vienamese though.

Jim, I am sure a Vietnamese Strip Joing has some good clams

I wonder how much live stock is there?

Big Als are pricey in Canada. For the Toronto area there are many great alternative places to go:

1. ORG = Oakville Reef Gallery
http://www.oakvillereefgallery.com/

2.North American Fish Breeders
http://www.northamericanfishbreeders.com/

3.ReefRaft
http://www.reefraft.ca/

4.Where's the Reef
http://www.wheresthereef.ca/

Will update with more contacts in the future.
