Trip to Calgary

I will be coming down to Calgary the weekend on March 11th, and will have a couple hours to check out some fish stores on the Sunday.

Where do you recommend I look? I have read Golds as a good vendor, any others?

Great places to check out.... IMO.

Gold's, Wai's and Ocean Aquarium. All great stores. I say nothing more !

I will be staying a couple blocks from Pete's drive in.

What order would I hit those stores in from there?

Wai's is across the street from Pete's Drive-In.

Sweet, so I imagine I start there.

then where to? OA or Golds?

Then head north on Center Street to OA Calgary. Then hop onto DeerFoot (I think) and go WAY southeast to Golds.

no matter where you go in calgary. any vendor for that matter...between calgary and edmonton. Prices are so different it really is like night and day. even if you do have a big A's is edmonton...most of the time between edmonton and calgary I find for corals prices are cheaper down here by close to 30 or 40$, even if it is a franchised store...

You could also go to riverfront if you just want to look.They usualy have cool fish out of the ordinary.Oceans and awi's are 5 minutes apart.Big al's sucks for fish,corals,only good for little inverts like crabs and shrimp.
