PLANTS IN NY OR NJ ?

definatly not looking for the common plants or fish. I placed 148 in ada contest for 2007. Killer was and it may sound conseted but i didn't put much effort into it so this year i'm going to give it my all and see what happens. what better then a labor of love to work hard on. if anyone has seen my post i have not used ferts in the past and well seems im not on the band wagon and i'm going to try the ferts this time around.
 
for oddball fish..


chinatown NYC...
 
Absolutely Fish in Clifton, NJ is nice.

I was just there this weekend. Picked up some glosso, glass shrimp and some angel fish. They have the best looking stuff around here hands down.

They are the only place where I have seen celestial pearl danios and mandarin shrimp and fresh water rays. There are other fish I'm not familiar with that I have never seen anywhere else but that's not really saying much. They had baby arros and a wide selection of discus. I didn't even get a chance to browse the salt water section which is also pretty big.

Another vote for Absolutely Fish. It's on rt 46 west, near where rt 3 and 46 intersect. Tanks are always well taken care of. Good selection too. Pricey, but you're saving money on shipping.

And Lowcoaster is a good guy as well. Shipping is cheap and fast, and he usually has a lot of good stuff.
 
Absolute Fish is a nice store, but be cautious. They charge about 3X the going rate for fish and supplies. I also got some sick fish and bad information.
 
I can't argue about the price... unfortunately they are the best store around for me. Do you have a better store you go to?

Absolutely Fish! I went there today!!! Got plants and a nice piece of Malaysian driftwood. And a book. I love that place. :) Of course, I am addicted to aquatic plants.....:eek:

No I don't have a better store around. They are 1 of 5 that I go......sometimes after spending an afternoon looking for fish I come home with nothing.
 
I must say that Fishtown in Bayside Queens has a large selection. Pacific at Delancy has experienced staff and caters to smaller tanks. They have shrimp, and a large selection of salt water fish. There's also 2 places in Brooklyn that carries some puffers and discus. I find that the Brooklyn stores are generally cheaper.
