Too much trouble to live stock. Was looking for hardware, things we don't bring into Canada yet.

A friend of mine brings fish across the border all the time. They dont give him any problem and most of the time he doesn't even pay duty.

I tried researching stores in Washington. Slim pickin's in our neck of the woods. You pretty much have to go all the way to Seattle to find a decent fish store.

Hardware should be no problem bringing it back.

I was in Florida a while back and did some pet store tours. I could not believe how expensive they were. Thank you J&L and OA.
