New Fish Store in Astoria, Queens

[nycpassat]

Wonderful World of Fish at 25-71 Steinway Street. They've actually been opened for a few months now. They have a nice selection of saltwater fish and the store owner, Steve is planning to occupy another set of tanks dedicated to corals. The other half is freshwater. Service is great, Steve is a really nice guy and always a pleasure to talk to every time, unlike my horrible experience at Fishtown last month. For you Queens folks, you may be pleasantly surprise of their new staff.

For your information, they will be having a nice delivery of corals later this week of Acans, Micros, mushrooms and Acros. Steve also mention a nice selection of fairy wrasses and angels arriving as well. I welcome you guys to stop by and check out what they have.


I've already placed a hold on a couple of Acans already

Sometimes I think I go about my business blind as a bat. Thats just a few blocks from me, and I know I drove right past there last weekend.

Very pricey but Steve is a cool guy.

Went by the store today and put on hold a nice multicolor dwarf angel. Guys, they just received a nice shipment of acan enchinatas(sp) and micros for a pretty darn good price.

Wow, this is actually a "real " store. Clean, good selection of salt (as well as fresh/African Fish.
Two nice coral tanks.
Hope he does better than his neighbor, Sea Visions

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Seavision is slowly fading away.No new items,they're looking for a new manager.Tough business.

Spoke to Steve several times over the phone. He is a great guy and gets his fish from reputable wholesale breeders. Looking forward to checking out the store this weekend.

This place is on Steinway? I remember stopping in a store on Steinway about 2 years ago....no SW, nothing remarkable at all....is the new place this store re-done? Or is it brand new....I'll have to check it out...is it near the R train stop? Eric

 

[Mr.First]

I was thinking the same as you e.m
No, this is a real fish store. No free kittins or sad puppies.
Very nice new store.

 

[krzysiek]

Great. Few blocks away. I will check it out this weekend.

Wonderful World of Fish Store

I was driving down Steinway Street in Queens today and spotted this store. I decided to stop and go in. All I have to say is that I was impressed at how clean it was in there! All their fish and corals looked super healthy; their prices were also good. They aslo had my favorite fish, the Red Breasted Wrasse (same fish as my avater), that's been there for three months (thinking of getting it again). You guys should stop by whenever you have a chance.

FYI. The store is located between 28th Ave and 25th Ave on Steinway Street. There is no 26th or 27th Ave on Steinway Street. It is on the same side as the Carvel Ice Cream Store just a few stores in going toward Grand Central Parkway/Astoria Blvd.

 

[ppericfe]

[knugenx]

i agree evry single invert and fish ive purchased from them last year are doing great,never had a problem getting service unlike 99% of these lfs anybody know if they might of opened up another store or know of any nice clean stores like WWOF. Thanx ever since they closed ive been going to berkal aka the basement on ditmars and fishtownusa but they dont come close to matching WWOF.
