Interesting name for a fish store

That is an odd location. As near as I can figure, it should be on a residential street near Edmonton Trail. In actuality it should be a block away from Edmonton trail. At first glance it should be a house.

Could be a nice garage sale!

Here is a chance for you guys/gals to get cyanide fish too.

Ask him where he plans to buy his saltwater fish from?

The store is a converted garage, it used to be called the witchery. He has a big sign. It is on the north side of 8 ave behind the hair salon and he has no salt water livestock yet. He says he will have about 15 tanks when he gets it set up in a month or so. To save people from driving across the city I can post when he is up and running with salt water. I live in the area so I drive by it quite often.

Let me echo that remark. I just came from there, and spoke to the owner, and picked up an Aquaclear 300 that I do not need at this time. The owner is a nice chap, who has taken on a very big job. He is located a few blocks from both Riverfront, and Pisces, and even less from Wai's. If and when he starts to dabble in salt, he will have a job I would not attempt. The owner is friendly, and is willing to work with people, so all we can do is give him a chance. Possibly even support, but that is a lot to ask.

I am 100% serious.
Often I read that Calgary has no decent LFS and many of you shop online at J&L.
Here is an opportunity to help him and help yourselves.
Like I posted a few weeks back. There are three wholesalers in Vancouver that will sell him cyanide free fish.
That means healthier fish for him (less DOA) and for you and you help save the reef.
