I remember Paul's location on Kingsway. The store that I was trying to remember the name of is on E. Hastings between Willingdon and SFU. |

OK, I misunderstood. When you said 3 people started selling Marines, I wrongly assumed you meant 3 different businesses. It sounded from your message that Paul's was 1 of them, the wholesaler Pacific Tropicals was 2nd one, and you were 3rd one. This was probably what Bob thought as well. We didn't realize that you worked for the wholesaler. We thought you had your own retail business. Quote:

![]() Hey Sam...is the store you were of Sees Aquarium. There was also Billy's which has morphed a few times into what is now Rainforest Pet Spectrum. Hope this helps.

![]() Yeah, See's doesn't sound familiar but Billy's sounds familiar. Are they still in business as Rainforest Pet? Do they sell marines? I remember they converted half the store to selling bikes so yeah, I see what you mean when you say it morphed a few times. Thanks.

![]() Sam,
I think youi were talking about Joe's Aquarium (sold it to Billy's) around 1987. on Hastings. Further down Hastings was a great little shop called The Tropical Hut. One block off of Willingdon @ Hastings.(early 70's) Gazza |
