I've got a trip to Vancouver coming up, and I want to know what pet/fish stores I should hit.
We're staying right in downtown Vancouver, but will make a trip most likely to Stevestown and Port Moody.
To be perfectly honest, I'm a complete n00b when it comes to Vancouver geography... So firstly, are there any good pet stores in the downtown area?
I've heard such good things about IPU, so I'm hoping I can stop in there. I'm thinking the Richmond location might be better, especially as far as timing goes.
Where else should I try to stop?
And my second question is about travelling with fish... I'm not really planning on coming back with any fish, BUT, if I happen to fall in love with a betta (or two), what's the best way to "store", and transport them? The way the trip is planned, I'm not likely going to be able to pick up a fish on the same day we're heading home, so that means I'll have to keep it in the hotel a day or two. I've got an old 2g critter carrier that has a lid, I was thinking of bringing that (and my thermometer and some water conditioner). Or would something else that could double as a transporter work better, like an ice cream bucket with lid, or even something smaller?
