There is pet superstore in Surrey/Langley as well. Also there is a shop on the bypass/192 in Langley. As to what they carry and whether they can be trusted that is up to you, I know some wouldn't go bear those places and some visit regularly.

I've spent a lot of money at J&L and there is only one girl in the fish room that ever smiles at me or gives me the time of day, but quite often its the only place to get what I need. I'm not saying that by spending money I deserve special treatment, but I'm not a bad bloke so the odd smile or a hello every now and then wouldn't go amiss.

I've been to Pacific Aquatics and Roger's Aquatics.

I've also been to Jl and King's Ed

All of these fish store need to work on their customer service skills. In JL I love the fish room people. The cashier and the manager...has attitude problem.

oceanic corals on the fraiser highway has a lot of good high end stuff as well as more basic , the owner paul is a great guy to deal with .

I have found that JL is the best place for fish/corals. They will also likely order in items on request. Depending on how busy they are it's sometimes hard to get attention in the fish room but if they slow I find the service is good. Oceanic corals on Fraser Highway also has some "high end" corals but they come with more of a price tag.

In either case, it totally depends on when you get there relative to their livestock shipments. Some weeks I go and find several pieces I like, others I leave empty handed.

Stores like King Ed's, Rogers, Pauls and Aquariums West are better for supplies I think (although I prefer the selection at JL). You might find an odd livestock gem in there from time to time but expect to leave empty handed more times than not.

Note: If we are talking freshwater Aquariums West, Rogers and King Ed's have great livestock/plant selection.

Edit: I also tend to find the better pieces through the users here. If you monitor the forum daily you might be fast enough to snag up a few lol.

Yes, most hearily agreed. There is some excellent stock available on this site, and some really nice, kick ass people to be found here too. It's nice to link up with so many like - minded souls too. Somehow I dont feel so odd about my obsession....LMAO
