Does anyone know where I can purchase some sea horses in Canada!?
Thanks!

I've not had any luck trying to find some. My LFS has no connection in Canada to find some. Personally, I've been waiting for the border to open so I can drive and get a few things.

Can I ask where you usually go to get your things? Lol

Give Bayside a shout. They may be able to special order some in for you.

J and l aquatics. Always got an odd guy chilling

I checked both of those, they are not in stock, I checked LFS's across Canada, I really tried, but could not find them. I think the LFS's are also waiting for the border to open.

They’re most likely a special order item right now. I’ve seen garden eels, pipefish, octopi and stingrays at Bayside, so I’m pretty sure seahorses are also doable. But again, you’d have to drop them a line to find out for certain.

Once in awhile . Big als aquarium services has them but it’s been a few years since I’ve seen them .

there are a few places if you ask for them and possibly pre pay they will order them for you .

look are a few breeders on Facebook groups but again , that’s been a few years since I’ve saw them

Not sure but if you’re in Greater Van there’s a store I found called JL Aquatics in Burnaby. They’re closely associated with Nuri Fisher, founder of PE and cofounder of Poma Labs.

I believe the Coral Reef Shop in Burlington, Ontario can get them (the large ones). The owner's name is Red. I have purchased fish from him and will get coral from him as well when my new tank is more mature. He's a very helpful guy. I was inquiring about the dwarfs which is probably a no-go that's when he mentioned the Erectus type. I also heard Big Al's for the Erectus but that's probably a special order item as might be the case with the Coral Reef Shop. It was posted about contacting Seahorse Canada. To the best of my knowledge they don't do retail. That's probably where Big Al's, etc get theirs from. Keep us posted as to your progress. If I ever get a bigger tank I will keep these guys or hopefully someone can do dwarfs with a CITES permit for captive breeding.
