its illegal to bring them accross the border withought a cites permit wich is next to impossible to get let alone for a couple SHs, i was thinking of getting some from down there but too nervus to bring them back, i thought of getting a bunch of dwarfs and putting them in a water bottle or something

Yeah, that sounds a bit too risky for me... I'll have to continue researching Canadian sources. Thanks everyone for your advice!

J&L has captive raised H. reidi and H. angustus from Australia right now (H. kuda as well but aren't doing as well). The H. barbouri from the same Australian shipment did not do as well. The reidi and angustus are doing great, eating like pigs, have not lost one yet, and have been in store nearly 2 months. Many babies from the reidis. I have kept seahorses for years, and these two species look to be quite healthy, so if you are considering ordering them I would not hesitate. They have been put on separate tank systems although the odd w/c fish gets put on the same system.

The angustus are smaller but very colorful, and suprisingly have not lost any of thier bright orange or yellow color (I thought they would change like the reidi usually do, but so far they are still vibrant).
