Welcome to Canadian Aquatics!  Our goal is to provide you with quality fish including African cichlids, South American wild caught, flowerhorn, arowana tank mates, community fish, freshwater shrimps, and plants.  Our stock list includes mostly young fish (F1 or F2 generation) from wild caught stocks, as well as some wild caught and domesticated livestock.  If there is something we don’t have in our current list, please check our stock list in a few weeks as it changes often.  Otherwise, contact us and we will try to locate the livestock you want and possibly pre-order them.

Our team members:

Charles Lam - our resident African Tanganyika Cichlid and South America buyer. 

Kole Mischook - our resident flowerhorn, arowana tankmates, community fish, and South East Asia buyer.  He is responsible for bringing the first Thai Silk flowerhorn from Thailand as well as many arowana tankmates and community fish from South East Asia.

How to order:

We accept Pay Pal and Money Order.  At the moment, we will not be able to accept Credit Cards and Personal Cheque payments.  Orders must be sent by e-mail.  Upon receiving the order, your fish will be reserved.  Full payment must be received within 7 days.  If full payment has not been received within 7 days, all reservations will be cancelled.  Items on the stock and equipment list are subject to availability. 

Terms and conditions: 

1) Airport to airport is our preferred shipping method.  We have a known shipper by Westjet.  This is by far the quickest and safest way to ship live fish.  We will guarantee live arrival using airport to airport service with the exception of some very sensitive young fish (for example: Tigrinus catfish, Cyprichromis, and Altolamprologus fishes).  We will always tell our clients if they have ordered a sensitive fish before the required payment.  All other livestock (plants and shrimps) and equipment may be shipped with other carriers at the discretion of the client. 

2) DHL 9am special is also available providing you have the same service in your area.  Please contact your local DHL to find out.  We will only guarantee live arrival on the very first 9am next day delivery attempt.  We will not guarantee live arrival if DHL delays delivery, weather causing delays, or after the first 9am attempt.  It is very important for you to find out if DHL will do the 9am special in your area.  This is also by far the cheapest way.

3) Within B.C., we can also do Greyhound next day providing you have the same service in your area.  Please contact your local Greyhound to find out if the service is available.  We have ship fish to the interior B.C. for a few times and so far, there is no lost of any fish.  However, we will not guarantee live arrival with Greyhound. 

4) Vancouver Island customers can use Harbour Air.  It is rather inexpensive.  A small box is usually around $15 shipping cost.  You can pick it up either in Victoria or Nanaimo Harbour Air station.  We will guarantee live arrival with Harbour Air. 

D.O.A. (Dead on Arrival): 

The buyer will have to pick up all shipped livestock within 3 hours of scheduled arrival time.  If there are any delays due to the airline company, the buyer will have to deal with the airline company directly.  If there are any dead fish in the bag(s), the client will have to (A) inform us and (B) pictures should be taken with the dead fish inside the original unopened bag.  Both "A" and "B" should be done within 3 hours of receiving shipment.  We are not responsible for any DOA after three hours of scheduled arrival; we will work out the best arrival time to suit your schedule.  We are not responsible for DOA caused by delay, mishandling or any incident by the airline company.  Any DOA related to our handling of the fish will be credited towards the next purchase.  Shipping costs are non-refundable and will not be credited towards the next purchase.
