Paul's Aquatics behind Costco in Surrey. I haven't been there for a while but they usually sell fish and corals.

Pet Lovers is still open and has a fairly large salt section. Lots of fish and usually a good selection of coral. I have a bunch in my tank from them and all the fish have done really well. Worth a trip a few times a year IMO.

Was at Pauls a few weeks ago too and they had almost no coral, just a few softies and hardly any fish. Some clowns, damsels, that sort of thing. A couple of naso tangs. Small store with a little salt section, I'd never go back.

I used to be a hard core King Ed fan, now the service is worse than ever and prices are crazy.

J&L is almost always cheaper on everything PLUS they know their stuff

There is also Petland in Langley. I know they were trying hard with salt when I was there last, but that was about a year ago.

If you do decide to visit a few people for corals in Surrey, pop by my place. I have lots to choose from.

!!!! re Kelly's corals (aka KPG007). Nice guy to talk to and great selection of corals!!!!!

Petland isn't really worth the trip. They have a handful of dying corals, 3 fish and a snail. They have a large tank set up but have never really done anything with it.

The fish guy there told me they don't have the budget to start the salt section for a long time to come.

Pet Lovers has a relatively well-kept Facebook page.

Apets has a small selection of SW fish and corals.

Apets is reaaaallly hit n miss (99% miss!). You gotta go when he gets a new shipment so u can save those animals before they are released into those toxic tanks. Otherwise, standard stock is very lacking, and frankly not worth a random visit.
