AQUARICA – Be Canadian. Buy Canadian.
As proud Canadians, it is more important than ever that we support our fellow Canadians. Many Canadian sectors will be hurt by the US tariffs meaning less money coming into Canada. To keep our economy strong, we need to keep money in Canada by buying more Canadian made products, from Canadian companies. Where possible, Aquarica will reduce or eliminate spending on US made products and products from US based companies. We encourage you to take actions in your life to Buy Canadian. We are The True North Strong and Free!
Aquarica will be taking the following steps:
1. We will increase our reliance on local/Canadian fish breeders and plant growers.
2. We will increase our product line of Hagen products (trading under the names Hagen, Fluval, Aquaclear, Marina, Exo Terra, etc). Hagen is a family-owned Canadian company.
3. We will no longer stock GloFish. GloFish is trademarked by a US firm (Spectrum Brands) which controls all GloFish production in the world. Other than GloFish, all our livestock comes from local breeders, and countries in Asia, Central America, and Sri Lanka.
4. We will not expand our current product offerings from US owned companies such as Aqueon, Mars Inc. (API), Caribsea, Feller Rocks, Zoo Med, and Seachem. To balance our customers needs, we will continue to carry existing products from these suppliers, with a long-term goal to replace with Canadian and non-US made products.
5. We will not add any US based fish foods to our lineup. Our current selection of fish food is from non-US providers: Fluval and Northfin are Canadian based, Hikari is Japanese, Tropical is Polish, and Vitalis is UK based.
