    It depends on the type of fish that you are wanting to stock but I always suggest Rachel Oleary. She imports inverts and micro fish. You can reach her at www.msjinzkd.com

    Are you in Ontario Canada or a city in the US named Ontario?
    If in Canada, use a Canadian Transhipper/importer like http://cichlaholic.com
    Spenser Jack's located in Winnipeg, but ships across Canada and the US. He has a great list of fish currently available, and his prices are very reasonable.

    I know Ontario is a huge province, but if you're in the GTA, there's plenty of wholesalers from Mississauga to Scarborough who will sell to small store operators and hobbiests who want volume discounts... If you're interested shoot me a pm and send you a list of names that can help to get you started.

    Bringing fish states side, is a royal pain, and much easier if you don't declare you have fish with you... Bringing fish into Canada is much easier even when declared.
