SA cichlids and etc... I have no problem going to NJ.. Just need a new LFS! :)
I live in nyc and take the drive to nj.
Absolutly fish, fish hut and shark aquarium are my favs. Shark aquarium has a really really good selection. Fish hut's staff is top notch and where I am getting my 150 gal set up from. Absolutly fish will also has a nice selection very clean tanks

It is sad. We are in a big city and there are no good LFS.

What kind of fish are you looking for?

Queens
- KHC on Northern Blvd has decent salt water selection and once every 2 months or so they bring in about 25-30 boxes of discus.
- Rainbow Aquarium will bring in adult Africans cichlids when requested and adult rainbowfish.
- Monster is freshwater only, and has a decent selection of plants.

Brooklyn
- Royal Aqua. i think this is the name. Has good salt and good discus selection. I consider this to be the best store in brooklyn

I like fish hut for tanks/stands and there filters are the same price as whats on amazon your right though they have a large selection of Africans I wouldn't say they suck and the owner is an honest guy. Absolutly fish maybe a little more $$$ but you get what you pay for... they will routinely shut a tank down because of illness and not sell the fish.
Now shark aquarium has a massive selection of all sorts of little monsters.

Nyc aquariums imo suck all the same crap and imo everything is over priced.

If I were gonna order fish I would go through jeff rapps.

Aquascape is totally unreliable they have pics of fish but lots are not available...why list fish that are unavailable ??? Would go elsewhere
