    Strange Exotics - Medicine Hat

    I was also told by Neil and Zac to check out Strange Exotics in Medicine Hat. This shop was "already on my radar" as I had made arrangements some months ago to get them a nice Blue Base Crossback from the MerLion Dreamfish farm. I missed out on meeting Rob, the person in charge of the fish room...

    Animal World - Medicine Hat

    I noticed they had a lot of DIY pond supplies here. My guess is that this is a good place to go if you have an outdoor koi or goldfish pond.

    Animal World - Medicine Hat

    While the stingray was pretty cool, I think the scarlet McCaw is more special. I'm biased as I lived in Costa Rica for a few years and really enjoy being around them :)

    Animal World - Medicine Hat

    I was told by Neil and Zac to check out this store in Medicine Hat, and so I did. The owners of the store were away the day I came by. I was told the husband owner is a veterinarian, which must be useful for a diversified pet store like this one. I was impressed by the range of products on hand...

    Aqualife 88 - Calgary

    A nice supply of fish from Asia here, including Asian arowana of course. The owner and I recognized each other as we had met years earlier when he was working alongside Dave Guan at Concept Aquariums. It is a small world after all :) This store reminds me of the smaller local neighbourhood...

    So - what's it like to drive around rural Saskatchewan you ask? Here is a small sample (thanks to Google for telling me to turn left :)

    Pisces Pet Emporium - Calgary

    I think Pisces Pets is THE place to come for Asian arowana - and all things pet related - in all of Western Canada. :)

    Pisces Pet Emporium - Calgary

    I have barely scratched the surface of this store with the photos I have shared. Check out their website for a broader overview: Better yet, go visit them! :)

    Pisces Pet Emporium - Calgary

    To my knowledge this is the biggest aquarium and pet store in all of Western Canada. I have not seen a bigger store anywhere. In Calgary this is the place to get everything pet related. When I arrived I saw a young family posing for photographs in front of the store. This made me realize that...

    A shout out to Neil and Zac at the Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery. Thanks for the excellent tour of the facility. I'll see what I can do about sourcing some platinum Japanese rice fish for you :)

    A drive around rural Saskatchewan - Saskatoon to Southey, Qu'Appelle Valley, Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery, Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park

    The hills overlooking the Echo Lake section of the Qu'Appelle Valley are beautiful.

    A drive around rural Saskatchewan - Saskatoon to Southey, Qu'Appelle Valley, Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery, Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park

    The provincial fish hatchery (for species of trout, walleye, etc.) was worth a visit.

    A drive around rural Saskatchewan - Saskatoon to Southey, Qu'Appelle Valley, Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery, Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park

    Ok, not totally fish related, but as I was driving around Saskatchewan to visit any aquarium stores I could find (not a lot), I took some nice photos. I thought I'd share them here. You will note a bit of forest fire haze in the first number of photos; it dissipated over the several days I was...
