Aquarium Plant Sellers in Canada
If you've ever looked at Tropica's plant list you've seen that there are a lot of plants to choose from. I've also seen lists from US-based plant wholesalers with 150+ different plant species and varieties. Not to mention the international players such as Dennerle and ADA whose products rarely make it to Canada. So for the planted-tank enthusiast, the limited selection found in the typical Canadian pet store is disheartening. Luckily, there are more and more Canadian businesses stepping in to fill the gaps in Canada.
All of the vendors below ship across Canada. I've included the location since, all other things equal, a seller that is close to you is probably better than one shipping from the opposite side of the country particularly in the winter.
If you'd like to be listed, leave a comment below. Only sellers that ship in Canada and have a decent inventory will be added.
| Name | Location | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 520 Buce | Ontario | Plant selection varies widely, but sometimes brings in plants (e.g. bucephalandra) that others don't carry. |
| ABC Plants | Quebec | They produce their own tissue cultures (like Tropica) and sell to the public (unlike Tropica). |
| Aquariums West | British Columbia | Carries Tropica, bunched plants from Thailand, and some bucephalandra. |
| AngelFins | Ontario | They sell much more than plants including livestock and hard-to-find equipment/accessories. Has plants (including many Cryptocoryne tissue cultures) that no one else in Canada sells. |
| Aquascape Plus | Nova Scotia | Sells Tropica's line of plants. Note that there are two lists of plants. One represents plants on hand and one represents plants you pre-order that Aquascape.Plus fulfills once they receive the plants from Tropica. |
| Aquascape Room | Ontario | Frequent re-stocking so worth keeping an eye on. |
| Aquatic Plant Man | Ontario | Long-time seller of plants, but until recently didn't have a web site. |
| Fish Addicts | British Columbia | Has a solid selection of aquarium plants. |
| Nick's Aquatics | British Columbia | A relatively new discovery for me. Plants sold are grown submerged vs. the typical emersed (out of water). |
| Planted Aquaria | Ontario | Added to list May 27, 2021. |
| ShrimpFever | Ontario | If you're looking for livestock (shrimp, nano fish) in addition to plants, start here. |
| ShrimpLife | Ontario | If you're looking for rare mosses, this is the place to check out. |
| SKA Shrimps and Nature Aquariums | Alberta | Has a good collection of plants, but there's no website (yet) to browse so you have to work through their Facebook page. |
| Sous L'Eau | Quebec | Formerly Aquapaysage (I believe). Plant selection appears to be increasing. |
| The Planted Aquarium | Ontario | A new entrant into the aquarium plant space. |
| The PlantGuy | Manitoba | Brings in plants from a source or two that other companies don't so worth checking out. |
| The Wet Leaf | Alberta | Great selection of plants including Tropica. |
| Tails and Scales | Ontario | Has the biggest collection of Tropica 1-2 Grow tissue cultures that I've seen in one spot. Recently added ABC's Tissue Cultures. Also carries pots like other plant sellers. |
| Tim's Shrimpery and Aquatics | British Columbia | The bucephalandra selection is quite extensive. |
