LFS in chinatown, NY

[billylee]

I only know of AquaStar on Mott st.

Can someone direct me to the others?
I heard that there are two on one particular block.

Ok, this is what M/L told me years ago when P-Fish was still alive..


Here's the 411...
Since you are in Mid-town check out New World Aquarium, 204 East 38th 10016 between 3rd & 2nd near the midtown tunnel. They have a pretty nice set-up and good choice of species.


Now for Chinatown, Manhattan there are 5 shops in walking distance from each other. I'll list the best one first.
1. 38 Aquarium, 371 Broome St. 10013 (212)966-0397
Corner shop opens around 11-12 noon. Best quality in Luo-Hans cichlids and other Asian exotic price from $10 to $18,000. He use to have illegal Arowana, but got busted 6 years back. Still the best shop to check out.
2. A few stores down is Win Tropical Aquarium, 169 Mott St. 10013 (212)343-2875
His has excellent prices, there is where I brought some of my Datnioid tiger fish. He's the only person to have $10 Malaysia driftwood and Xmas Moss.
3. Adjacent block is MLR Sea World, 123 Elizabeth 10013 (212)431-0777. They only sell Luo-Hans
4. About 3 block away is Aqua Star, 172 Mulberry St. 10013 (212)431-4311. Cool shop to check out, they carry alittle of everything.
5. Now this is the border of Chinatown...Pacific Aquarium, 46 Delancey St. 10002 (212)995-5895. They are bigger then the above shops combined, but not cheap.


New World Aquarium on 38th St. off of 3rd ave.

What ever happened to that big LFS in Manhatten that was on 23rd st near Lex. & 3rd ave? Last time I went to NYC it was gone. Can't remember the name of it now.
