If you want H. erectus, the only place in Canada to buy True Captive Bred ones is from Sea U Marine in Markam Ontario (Toronto Area)
They are the best quality stock of seahorses I've found in about 10 yrs.
Closer to you, you might contact J&L Aquatics and see what they have in. All there stock is not true captive bred with some being what is called tank raised.
Tank raised, raised in captivity but using water not properly filtered/treated for pathogens.
As such, these tank raised, while trained to eat frozen, should be put on a 9 week, 3 drug protocol for deworming that wild caught should go through.
True Captive Bred, raised in captivity using water that IS properly filtered/treated for pathogens, or using water made from commercial salts.

Blue Zoo hasn't a great reputation as far as seahorses go, and, if you are having them shipped to a point in the US so you can bring them across yourself you will still need cities papers and vet papers from point of shipment.
Also, there are only a few points of entry to be able to bring in seahorses into Canada so you have to check first about where you intend to cross.
To make it worthwhile to any breeder, you need to order about 100 seahorses and pay for the vet and cites paperwork which I think was about 3 or 4 hundred on my last order in October 2011,
Thank you. I bought two Kellogei from J&L few month a go they are doing great, they both female and their color turned to black after two month!

I am looking for a type of yellow/orange or bright red Seahorse which wont change color.
