RE: Vancouver Aquarium Stores and Club Auction

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

I've not heard of any problems with fish at border crossings.

It's illegal to transport plants into the US without USDA approval, and
there are certain "no-no's" like the roots cannot be in soil or any kind
of "substrate" including rockwool.  This is why Tropica cannot import into
the US.  On the other hand, the PRINCIPLE is good, because it's supposed
to prevent certain pathogens from getting into the US.  But in this case,
the application or letter of the law is really misplaced.

At any rate, be careful at those border crossings.
