Maine to NY LFS suggestions

Payson · Apr 12, 2019

Hey everyone! Last year my girlfriend and I went to RAP Orlando and the travel from Maine with corals on the plane was a hassle. This year we will be driving to RAP New York! On our drive down we wanted to check out other peoples local fish stores! So from Maine to New York I have one question. WHERES YOUR LOCAL FISH STORE?!

@NY_Caveman might be able to toss out a few recommendations in NY.

My favorites:

House of Fins in CT is one of the best I have seen. They have real live rock. tons of coral colonies, fish and anemones. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Pricey though.
Manhattan Aquariums on the West Side of Manhattan (same owner as UniqueCorals online) has very reasonable prices and a huge selection of everything.

Others

Greenwich Aquaria in CT
Gills and Jawz in Westchester
Reef Shoppe in the Bronx
Pacific Aquarium in Manhattan
Pop Corals and BlueReef in Brooklyn
Fish Town and New York Reef Aquatic in Queens.

If you’re willing to go about 20 min south of RAP in the Meadowlands, there’s a place in Avenel, NJ called Aquatic Obsessions, they have some nice frags, but I go there for their beautiful fish. Really nice stock and very well kept. They keep their fish under copper, but I quarantine anything I get anyway now.

Absolutely Fish in Clifton NJ. It's basically down the road from the Meadowlands maybe like 10 minutes from the expo center. They have a website too that you can look them up with.
