New Aquarium Store in Central CT ...Blake's Aqua Den...

[oo krispy oo]

Hey everyone.

So my long-time fish guy (mainly from when I had tanks before years back) has left the All Pets' Club chain I met him at about 6 years back and's gone off on his own. His name is Ed, and he really knows his stuff. Also, unlike All Pets', he specializes in specialty aquarium fish and invertebrates that you normally wouldn't find anywhere else. He'll even order fish if he doesn't have them and you want them.

The store is very cool. It's located in an urban part of town about 100 yds off of Main Street. Approaching the staircase in this second floor brick building, you may think you are about to enter a human trafficking ring. When you get to the top and open the door, even better, you walk into an underground laboratory-looking aquarium shop.

Definitely check this place out if you live near by, it is well worth it. Say hello to Ed, and tell him Mike sent you. Enjoy the pictures.

Looks great, I'll have to check it out soon. Meriden isn't too far and I'm probably gonna need some fish ordered. The two stores I go to now often don't follow up.

Definitely check it out if you get the chance. Ask for Ed and tell him Mike sent you from the internet forum.

Do you happen to know his store hours?

Nice looking shop! Is that his business card with his store phone number on it? :dance2:

Hey guys and gals.

Lizzy, I'm not sure of his hours, and yes that is his business card Bishop. Give him a ring because I'm pretty sure the hours fluctuate. Tell him Mike who bought the celestial pearls sent you.

I made my way there about a week ago. He's got some really cool stock and a great shrimp rack. Most LFS in the area don't carry any shrimp and certainly not of the quality I found here.

I went there Sunday, despite the location, business was brisk, the attendant didn't have time to answer the phone. Very helpful staff, cool variety of stock, very clean and they are willing to order whatever you would like! I'll definitely go back

If it requires stair climbing to enter I won't be going. Too bad! If it was ground-floor it would be a different story...
