![]() Not to public, check with lfs to see if they deal with coast mountain. They should be able to let you know what certified stock is available.

![]() some shops also import from MAC certified wholesalers out of the US (theres lots in LA) The only thing is that there is a limited number of species that MAC certifies.

![]() So there is a MAC certified importer here in Richmond (suburb of Vancouver for those of you who are from other provinces) but I have no idea yet where he sends his fish...I have emailed asking for a retailer.
I would assume he distributes them throughout Canada but I have yet to find a retailer here in town that does buy MAC certified fish ![]() Heres an interesting question then... Forget price for now. If you had the choice to buy MAC fish (humanely caught with certification) but had to limit the species you kept OR buy any species usually available but were taking a chance the fish may be inhumanely caught, which would you buy? For me its an easy decision. I would have no problem limiting what species I kept if I knew it was for the good of the fish/ocean. Last edited by GreenSpottedPuffer; 01-04-2009 at 10:55 PM. |

![]() The problem is, people want what they want and we live in a society where we get what we want. After reading the MAC site, I have to say I am very disappointed that more retailers are not willing to bring in MAC fish. Its a great program and you would think in a country like Canada, it would be used much more. |

![]() Oh and for those of you saying certified cyanide free fish are not possible, read the site.
http://www.aquariumcouncil.org/index.html No its not perfect but its a start and a pretty darn good chance these fish have never come in contact with cyanide or any inhumane collecting. They are tracked the entire way. |

![]() I'd pay double if it was certified AND it came with a 15 day (or whatever) guarantee. The certification by itself will not be enough for me to pay double... if the fish dies, I can't perform a necropsy to confirm so I could be scammed. And not neccesarrily by the retailer, but the supplier or others in the supply chain.
