Where to get java moss in Ontario?

[gemsbok]

I was wondering if anyone living in Ontario knows where I can get java moss. I've looked everywhere to no avail. I'd rather not buy online because shipping costs more than the moss itself. Any tips?

Find out if there's a local fish keeping society in your area. They may have periodic auctions where people sell their extra plants. Some will also have forums so you don't need to wait for an auction. Or if there isn't a society, there may still be local forums. Try searching things like "Ontario fish," and similar terms.

augh you are having this problem too!? My fiance and I both want some and cant find it either. went to ottawa and big al's and pet smart didnt have any. it sucks cause im sick of people saying it so easy to get! lol no it's not! i ordered some once and it arrived disgusting. so i threw it out. but it came from across the world. if there is any good canadian online sites i would try that. i dont think i care about shipping anymore. we are getting desperate. lol

@babystarz: Thanks for the tips! I've tried looking for something like that, but haven't found any clubs in a city near me yet. And the local forums have yielded nothing either. :/

I know, right?! I've even been looking on kijiji and craigslist, but I haven't found anyone selling any close to me. It's always too far away. >.< I hope I find some soon. I really want to start a moss wall on the back of my 5 gallon.

It's too bad customs is ridiculous and slow, or I'd send you some myself. I'm closer to you than most other places in Canada

@babystarz: Aww, thanks anyway. :) Customs is such a bother.

I live in Saskatchewan and I just ordered some plants from this site. They have very reasonable pricing compared to the pet stores here, and shipping was only $11.00. I haven't received my plants yet but he gets really good reviews and will be getting a new shipment at the end of the month.

EDIT: Anyone in Canada know where to get snails or shrimp online?
