Lfs Search In Brooklyn...

[MO~IDOL]

I've successful with petco too I still had my first yellow tang and some inverts...

A lot of newbie's started buying from Petco(include my self) before we discover MR & LFS...but this doesn't mean Petco = DeathCo! I mean the fish looks healthy and eatting like pig before we introduce them in our tank right? so what's the problem???

well this weekend i was on the hunt for discus and decided to check out some of the stores in brooklyn. i was shopping for discus but you know my eyes were glued to the salwater section.

64-65 st + 11th Ave- a must see. WOW!!!!!! one side of the place is all saltwater fishtanks and coral tanks. the other side is a bar.

65th st + 8th Ave- awesome selection of discus, got a nice discount. didn't have as many saltwater fish as they had the first time i visited. a couple purple tangs($60,$70 and $90). hardly any corals

86th st + 4-5th Ave- not worth the trip. horrible corals and a only two or three saltwater fish.

86th st + 18th ave- they are expanding their salwater section. cool guys but need to get more stock. got a nice acro colony for $50

88th st + 3rd Ave- no store found

Great thread! (even though its a few months old)

There is a store on Nostrand ave & ave J called Fish Expo. They have a great SW fish selection, but almost no corals. Their fish are almost always in good health but the way the stock the tank makes you think... over priced, but worth a visit.

Does anyone know of an LFS in brooklyn where i could get small clowns (1 to 1.5 inch) healthy ones a pair for no more than 20 bucks. And do you have a phone number to that place?

I got clowns from this guy on 48th and 8 avenue not bad as in pricing 2 for $15 but they ended up dying not eating for a week. Been there today and asked the lady to drop some food in there and she did and out of the 15 fish that she had only 1 ate. Her explanation was that they are not hungry. I was like ok clownfish are always hungry but she was looking at me like i am stupid. Wouldn't really recommend that store to anyone unless you know what you are buying. I thought i did.

Mark

try Underwater Creations on Ave X and E. 22 st.

 

[marki24]

I tried there and since danny is not there the new sales person lies. Told me they have plenty of clownfish and when i went there they only had one. Just wasted my time going out there.

 

[mshur]

Sorry


















:lol2:

 

[marki24]

I mean whats the point of lying? Do you think i am going to come down there and buy something anyways? Mostly likely i wont go there again.

Another vote for Fishtown, largest fish selections around, and their price can’t be beat($12.95 for a baby hippo tang!). Since i don't care about customer service it doesn't bother me.


Maki, if you’re just looking for clownfish in Brooklyn, check with Oceans Xi on 11th Ave. I was there last month and they just imported 150 nice looking false percs. Some are 2”-3” big and price was $15/ea. They have since converted into a bar and only open at night, not sure if they’re still in the fish business.

The store on 65th 8th ave also have some clowns, their SW section have gotten better lately so It may be worth checking it out, I would be very careful buying from 86th street at the moment. I was there last week and they have some VERY sick fish, and all their tanks are connected. The store in Ave X has about 3 false percs, 2 of which have diseases…

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

How do you not care how you are treated ??

 

[tonyyammine]

the place on bay 17th and 86th street is very good the people take good care of their fish i really like it there..just to let you know the store on 86th st doesnt have the fish tanks connected the store is small but it is worth looking at.

 

[marki24]

ok guys do you have phone numbers to these stores? I would like to call before hand and ask them if they have the fish before i head out there. Thanks

 

[marki24]

Mike i see your slacking off. I dont see an updated list of stores.
