Yes they are..There are other stores around but I did not mention them for the same reason you asked that question.

Yes,they have another location in the city also but it's not really worth mentioning...Just outside of the city to the north there is Fish Factory and The Hidden Reef,both worth a stop if you can swing it.

+1 On Giant Aquarium. It's on the dingy side, but it's worth going just to see it. Here's a YouTube video I found that will give you a better idea of what you may see there.

Giant Aquarium and Monster Pets in South Philly....Aquarium Center in south Jersey.
Those are the stores I went to last year when my wife and I drove to philly for a little get away...
I had no intent on buying any fish but ended up coming back with my current male jag(from monster pets)....and we live 5 1/2 hours away....if you live far away get a hefty container( bought one from a nearby target store) because if you have any tank space it will be hard between those stores to not come back with something....

Interesting, it never crosses my mind to go south, I always go north. Too many Eagle fans going south, I like to live in the land of the GIANTS.............;)

Come on down for a store tour.The fans are no problem,except for maybe the drunken tailgaters hanging out in the stadium parking lot.
