hey some what related to zoos but des any one know the rules about bringing corals from the usa to canada ?

The short answer is "don't." Most corals are on the CITES list (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species), which means you cannot import them without the proper CITES permits (expensive). Without these permits, and if you are determined to be carrying endangered species, or any products made from endangered species, or by-products of endangered species, (e.g., boots made from alligator skin, or anything made of ivory, or, seeds of a plant, cuttings of a plant, corals, cuttings of a coral, live rock [live rock used to be coral], live sand, ... etc. you get the idea] .... you risk having your goods seized and destroyed, plus risk having severe fines, and possibly face even jail time. :shock:

It's not worth the risk!! Support the Canadian companies who do go through the hassle of importing legally, they need our support to make their efforts worthwhile.

Sorry there Steve, I thought the comment you made in chat last night referred to some pot-stirring (doh!).

Naesco is right, you raise some excellent points. I'm real curious because I have a 33 and I have to explain almost daily to my wife and son why we cannot have a Purple Tang... :roll:

I'm just afraid they aren't taking me seriously, and on Christmas Eve they'll surprise me with a "family gift" that comes in a wet plastic bag. :? It could happen.

How about a Scopas tang? Greg Schiemer has one in a 38G along with 6 other smaller fish.

Thanks Sam, don't mind if I do! Seriously, I 'had' a Scopas that didn't fare well through my 90g Green Tank episode, and he went to EmilyB. Nice fish, but was definitely on the way out when he was adopted. He is now fit and trim, as expected.

I got a CBB instead. :D :D :D

Nice Changes on the site Alan! Thanks!
The CBB pics work out very well. 8)

Hey thanks - we're very happy! (I like meat-eaters...) :D

Put the Banggai in with him and the clowns today. More batteries for the camera.

:D

Very impressive page there Alan.
