looking for aquarium store in Vancouver

[gobytron]

BUT...
If you really want to see the best as far as selection and solid staff check out JL aquatics.

They are right across the street from the production way/university skytrain station and worth the short ride on it to see them.

Talk to Rene if she's working....shes like an aqua genius.

Delta is like an hour or so out of downtown in good traffic.

Island pets is not too far from JL aquatics though and neither is king eds pet center....

I would say from downtown Oa and J&L are the exact same distance. It takes about 35mins to get to both.

JL is just easier to find.
especially for an out of towner.

Both are great stores . If you have time I would check out as many as you can in the lowermainland. I frequent them all and they all offer a different sellection and much of the same.

while a great store with very friendly staff (what up Janet), OA is out in the boonies...lol
Even if they are both the same distance from Vancouver, the trip to Delta is rough and traffic can get really bad on river road as well as going over the alex fraser or queensborough.

I live very close to JL but regularily make the trek out to OA due to their often hand picked selection of coral and green friendly staff....

If you have the time and motivation, it IS worth trying to find.

well i went and visited all the ones u guys mentioned J&L Aquatics
Island Pets, Ocean Aquatics, Aquariums West, King Eds Pet Center the only one i didn't go to was Rogers Aquatics. I really enjoyed the fish stores here compared to the ones back in Winnipeg i may have to go to rogers aquatics tomorrow.
Also the traffic was not bad at all today when i got in on Thursday last week it took me like 1:45 to move 20km i was going crazy lol

well thanks again to everyone that led me to these fish stores

P.S The huge grouper and shark tank was awesome

[gobytron]

Nice one.
Glad I didn't deter you from heading out to OA.
Thanks for setting the distance straight Chowder...


So I gotta ask, which store impressed you the most as an unbiased party?
