So for the past several years I’ve been on hiatus from keeping monsters. At one point a had thousands of gallons of water in my basement lol ponds and tanks all over. Basically I finished my basement and kept reef tanks since then. Now I’m looking at houses and planning a tank either a 4’x8’ footprint or 3’x8’ footprint. Might start growing out some fish now but I’ve been out for so long what vendors are people ordering from or getting fish from in the pa, nj, de or even ny. Basically I’ll be looking for thinbars and widebars at first then possibly rays once I have the tank I’m doing in place. Mind you this is not a wtb thread just looking for some information on what’s new, available and who’s who

Welcome back comrade, I can't help you with vendors in your area but I can tell you the following. If you ever wish to find a rare fish or two then it would be best to check in with fugupuff fugupuff here as he brings in some very rare and cool fish commonly. That is if you're ok with paying shipping.

Welcome! If you need help with vendors who ship let me know. Also, widebars are all but gone from the US hobby now but every other species is steadily coming in

Agreed, if you want a rare fish hit him up. Reasonable prices too considering a lot of his fish are the only ones of their kind available

Welcome back! Hope you can find an aspect of the hobby that you wish to pursue.

In addition to the other vendors mentioned, consider Monster Aquarium in Queens. I do lots of business with those guys as well, another really good shop.
