Thanks Guys, I'll call the airline this week see what they say, I'll phone around before I decide, the fairy wrasses were stunning, scotts, mystery & all kinds of anthias, maybe I'll just stay.

I would be more concerned about the lack of knowledge of some of the people you may encounter on your trip home. It's an odd thing to be bringing across the boarder so while it's being investageted you may loss them.

Westjet always says no to bringing fish with carry-on, but I did bring things back on Air Canada once from Vancouver. This was before the restrictions on liquids and gels that were put in place back in September. Unfortunately I'd say if it were me I wouldn't risk it.

Has anybody looked into ordering from the US and having it shipped? I'm guessing a lot of shops wouldn't bother with shipping here, and the delays at customs might be too long, but it would be nice if we could access what our friends to the south can get their hands on.

See if they will ship it Bellingham, then go down and drive it across the border. They won't give you a hard time about a fish as long as you have a receipt and pay your taxes.

I think travel within Canada if you got the fish in Canada will be fine, as the fish is already inspected and imported into the country but not live stock from outside the country.. I ask supplier before that is why so expensive to get fish import to Canada by yourself.. You need permit and inspection for live stock to make sure it's disease free as well as environment issue. Once you got your paper done, then your little pet will get what I call a Passport to cross the border and say Hi to his/her .
Canadian friends.. lot of process, $$$ and not worth it.

- Some fish supplier or fish store will do it for you for a fees.. as it's easier for them to get the paper work done then individual..
