Im sure there is at least one shop in vic that sells corals and invets. Can someone please point them out to me? I went to the one little shop just off hillside next to the bread shop but they just have fish rock and macro.

thanks guys

Safarii Pets...off of Blanchard and Cloverdale....in the same complex as Future Shop
....talk to Japardo..I haven't been there in a while, so I don't know what he has but Safarii is pretty much the best in town for reefers.
Enjoy

Safari Pets and Aquatics.
Corner of Cloverdale Ave. and Blanshard St.
Same plaza that Future Shop is at.
(Blanshard is the same as the Pat Bay Highway as you come into town from Swartz Bay. In other words the Pat Bay Highway becomes Blanshard St. at the 50 km/h zone).

Cheers,

You couldnt have been at Safaris, they have lots of corals etc. I believe its Creatures you were at.

Safaris always has a great selection of corals, I was just there a couple of days ago and Japarto had a good selection in.

Hope this helps.

I (we?) say again...Safari Pets and Aquatics.
Corner of Cloverdale and Blanshard.
Beside Raymond's Restaurant.

Near Mayfair Mall.
They have a good selection and the livestock is well maintained, but I wouldn't go there expecting to see the selection your used to on the lower mainland, what with all the LFS's over there.

On a side note........ what stores have a good freshwater selection (plants & Dwarf Cichlids)?

I'm contemplating a trip to the Island later in the summer
