I've purchased at the Vancouver auction before and have had no problem with fish and was instructed to remove all substrate from plants, just as Kate said. No problems. I've also heard that it can be the luck of the draw with your boarder guard. Chances are, they'll detain you and have you go to an inspector and they'll ooh and ahh at your stuff and send you on your way.
