This place is just a hop, skip and jump away from you.

BUT...
If you really want to see the best as far as selection and solid staff check out JL aquatics.

They are right across the street from the production way/university skytrain station and worth the short ride on it to see them.

Talk to Rene if she's working....shes like an aqua genius.

Delta is like an hour or so out of downtown in good traffic.

Island pets is not too far from JL aquatics though and neither is king eds pet center....

I would say from downtown Oa and J&L are the exact same distance. It takes about 35mins to get to both.

Both are great stores . If you have time I would check out as many as you can in the lowermainland. I frequent them all and they all offer a different sellection and much of the same.

while a great store with very friendly staff (what up Janet), OA is out in the boonies...lol
Even if they are both the same distance from Vancouver, the trip to Delta is rough and traffic can get really bad on river road as well as going over the alex fraser or queensborough.

I live very close to JL but regularily make the trek out to OA due to their often hand picked selection of coral and green friendly staff....

If you have the time and motivation, it IS worth trying to find.
