    Default Irish guy new to Kelowna

    Hey all, i recently joined another forum CAC and it was recommended that i join here too as it's primarily BC based. Go figure!

    So I've been living in Kelowna since January. I kept a multitude of fish back in Ireland. I'm debating getting an aquarium here though. I don't want to go through all the expense to find I can't get the fish I want (Neolamprologis Multifasciatus) which so far i can't. I'd even settle for some decent sized Tiger barbs and a hand full of nice corys! Kelowna isn't spectacular for fish.

    Can anybody from near by point me in the direction of a good place to buy fish, plants and aquariums? I'm not afraid of online buyings for all but live stock.

    Thanks guys

    Welcome to the forum. It's a bit late in the season, but some sponsors and members will ship fish and plants.

    Welcome. There's a mobile fish shop up there. Andrea I believe. Look in the local newspapers.
    I'll try find more info for you. She has quality fish.

    Welcome to BCA, AdamsB !

    We are an amalgamation of many different hobbyists here. There are dwarf shrimp, planted tanks, cichlid, goldfish/koi, pleco, catfish, betta, oddball, community, marine (FOWLR), and reef enthusiasts to name a few.

    I was going to suggest Canadian Aquatics for shipping, BUT Charles beat me to it!

    Enjoy your time here !

    Best Regards,

    Stuart

    Thanks everyone for the greetings Particularly Charles. I had a look over your website and the L46's really caught my eye. Ive wanted ones for about two years but i saw a breeding pair fetch €1800 back in ireland. That scared me off to just keeping cichlids :P
