Two great hobbiests recommended to me a place in manhattan that I love now. It is hands down the best fish store I have ever been in. Great selection and great prices. I only want to get my fish from there, but we don't go into the city too often. I should just take the train with a friend because it's like a 5 minute walk from grand central.
New world Aquarium
E38th street east of third ave.

Yes Wetman. Sadly it's gone. I posted that a couple of weeks ago. Used to be one of the best stores. The old guy told me that they would open a wholesale business upstate.

OK,,, now I'm gonna go back a few hundred years, but.... does anyone remember Ed's Aquarium on Sunrise Highway in I think Lynbrook or Rockville Centre?? It was an A frame building and "LOADED" with stuff..
I know it's not there anymore (in fact I don't even know if the building is still there), but this was "THE" place to shop for everything for your aquarium back in the 19??ties.
My uncle used to get his supplies there, and I remember begging him to take me along whenever he went. I was in awe of that place. I've never seen another store like it. That's where and how I learned to appreciate the hobby..

Fishtown in Bayside
On Northern blvd about a block or so west of Francis Lewis Blvd. A fully stocked facility with personel who are knowledgeable but constantly changing. Interesting and wide range of livestock along with some beautiful set-ups. Very convenient for myself.
In the city, I also frequent New World, on the block of my bus stop.
