Didn't ocean aquatics go out a while back? I thought they were not around anymore. I know there was a store to before them, hidden reef that also went bankrupt.

You guys are talking about Aquatic Addictions in Abby.

Ocean Aquatics is in Delta.

The problem with buying locally is that most local product is "tank raised" or "net pen raised" and as such have a much lower success rate than if you buy true captive bred seahorses.
There is a lot of misinformation about seahorse keeping but I have links to a lot of excellent information listed at the bottom of "MY THOUGHTS ON SEAHORSE KEEPING" page.

True captive bred are hard to find in Canada.
Seahorse Sanctuary has now stopped selling seahorses so that wiped out a lot of species right there that were coming into Canada.
However, Blue World Aquatics has been bringing in true captive bred reidis from Aquamarine International, and is waiting on paperwork to bring in true captive bred erectus and dwarfs from Seahorse Corral.

And still awaiting Cites for them, should be any day now. Gotta love slow moving govenment departments.

Should be any day now.

Our next order of Reidi's will be in about a week.

a little off topic but:
I've noticed your site been under construction for a while. Do you guys have a online storefront?

Sorry dude but not trying to put a downer on your plans. I had seahorses for a couple of years. They are really boring to watch, too much care is needed and there is too many things that they ARE NOT compatible with. Actually a real pain in the ass. Just speaking from my experience with them. If you do get some good luck though.
