hmm, checking the "Canadian association of aquarium, clubs (CAOAC ) there
doesn't appear to be one, there is the London one, Sarnia, and one listed for Oxford county but I can't remember if that was east or west of London. check my home club's web page for links http://webhome.idirect.com/~jvanrompu/BAC/bacframe.htm I think that you might find one in metro detroit.

Can fish and plants be brought across customs? Steve, This is what I found from Canadian Government sites... from (http://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/E/pub/cp/...tml#P240_15669) "To protect plants and animals from pests and disease, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has controls, restrictions, and prohibitions on the entry of plants, animals, and their products, including food. To import some of these goods you will need certificates or permits. Many goods do not need mandatory inspection by the CFIA, but if the goods you are importing need to be inspected, you may have to pay a fee. In some cases, customs officers collect fees for the CFIA. If you plan to import agricultural, forestry, or food items, contact one of the following CFIA Import Service Centres (ISCs) for information before you leave. ISC staff handle all enquiries about import requirements for all commodities regulated and inspected by the CFIA. There are three ISCs: Central ISC (Toronto) Hours: 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) Telephone: 1-800-835-4486 (toll free from Canada and the United States); or (905) 612-6285 (from all other locations) Fax: (905) 612-6280" from (http://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/E/pub/cp/...tml#P240_15669) "The National Animal Health Program is responsible for establishing import requirements for animals and animal products coming into Canada, including pets. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has prepared basic guidelines for frequently imported pets. Before importing any animal, clients should verify the conditions with a local CFIA Office or Headquarters contact. The pet import requirements outlined in these pages are current as of 2003-1-8." from (http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/...rt/fishe.shtml) "The importation of certain types of fish, such as tropical or endangered species, may also be subject to the control of the Canadian Wildlife Services - Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). You can contact Canadian Wildlife Services at 1-800-668-6767 or visit their website at: www.cws-scf.ec.gc.ca." I could not find specific guidlines on this matter.

I was wondering about bringing plants from Canada to the US. I would really
like to find a narrow leaf red rubin which is sold by tropica. "ocelotl" wrote in message om... "Steve Kreutzer" wrote in message ... Can fish and plants be brought across customs?
