If it's true that great, just hopefully this guy will sell some of the good corals insteady of keeping for himself like the last guy did.

do they have any ideas of expanding this. it'll be great to give fishtown some real competition.

I pass by there pretty regularly and I believe the new place is smaller generic pet store, I knew the owner of the previous fish store pretty well, and he's no longer in the business.

My friend spoke to the guy running the store. The conversation led my friend to believe that he is planning on stocking coral and being comprable to Fishtown as far as prices.

The more store the better, even though I don't have anymore room for fish or corals well maybe I can fine some fine.

It will be great if even they're prices are close to Fish Town which will still be cheapier than the other store in the NY/NJ area. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Forget about cheap prices, i rather have quality. What good is it to buy a cheap coral/fish, only to take it home and croak. If he maintains it right, he will do ok.

Then again, when fishtown started carrying sps, they were ok, now they just suck. Hopefully this doesn't happen again.

FWIW, the last guy had some nice stuff, lot's of variety. I actually like going there more than fishtown.
