Where to buy live copepods in Canada ??

Any suggestions? All I can find is tigger pods - anyone in Canada sell other kinds? The US places I have checked won't ship across the border.

Mentioned the mangrove - I just got it because I like it - it doesn't contribute appreciably to cleaning - the algae is much more effective - but the mangrove is a neat plant.

Hi Steve
I know you like Safari, and they certainly have some good stuff there. (Too bad they didn't enlarge their SW area when they moved).
