I think J&L or Ocean Aquatics will bring in pretty much anything you want. I would try them first and you will probably have more luck due to no extra "transport" time on the fish.

I have ordered livestock from J&L many times years ago. Never lost anything and they were all packaged very well.

We order from J and L all the time. Very good success rate.

J and l for sure but you should consider quarantining them first. I didn't and ended up with ich in my display tank and have lost all the fish I had bought I have learnt my leason qt all the way for me from now on!

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

one of my first SW fish was from J&L (and still have him) but only ordered from the coast as then wasn't easy to find locally.

are you looking for something unique?

So that there is no confusion, I just meant that since you live in Vancouver, those Vancouver stores make the most sense.
