Hello everyone,

Heard there's a sweet LFS in the N.E. that has a big selection. Forgot the name of it, anyone know what it is called and where it is?

Also any other LFS in Calgary selling rare and exotic corals and fish?

Gold's? that's technically in the south though in 17th ave. There's also Wai's, and Big Al's in the northeast. Then there's red coral and ocean city in the northwest. Elite on the Southeast. Those are the one's i know of

your forgetting about pisces. with a few new staff members with marine experinece they are getting a lot of nice livestock right now. Theres about 200lbs of fresh live rock and some corals that came in yesterday and i know theres a marine order coming in tomorow morning. There on the corner mcknight and deerfoot right next to superior propane.

well i think my thread about how bad the fish is in with pisces has been removed so i don't want to say it again. I really don't recommend you going there for livestock tho.

Gold's, Red Coral, Ocean city are my choice. For expensive livestock, check out Wai's

I totally agree with this point, I have bought a few things there and they have never made it out of my QT to the DT.

Glad I don't have your luck. Only one stock issue from there and I was very happy with the resolution.

But any time I have had an issue at an LFS they have always seemed to come through, benefits of ...tact?

Never hurts to look and leave if you don't like what you see. Lots of items to look at beyond livestock.
