Best pet stores in Philly area

I'm moving to Philadelphia soon, and I was wondering what are some of the best pet stores and fish stores in Philly, Delaware, and the surrounding areas?
 
Im not sure how close philly is to lancaster but That fish Place(in lancaster) is always a great stop and they got a huge selection
 
I think that there is a forum with the Delaware valley reef club, its a sub forum on here. They are more near Philly area.
 
wasn't into saltwater when i was there (8-9 yrs ago) but world wide aquarium in upper darby has tons of tanks fresh and salt.
 
The hidden Reef - Levittown
Something Fishy - Bethlehem
East Coast Aquatics - Prospect park
Pets Plus in NE Philly
Fins Feathers Paws and Claws - Harlesville and Quakertown
Pet Shack - Hatfield
Fish Factory Levittown (mile from hidden reef)
and if you so incline Absolutly fishy in North Jersey.
I can not say which are good in NJ but these are the ones we shop at.
Delaware Valley Reef Club are a good bunch of people they will be able to help you also.
 
The Frazer Zoo in Malvern is the best hands down for coral. Not much for dry goods. Mike who runs the fish room is a great guy and can get you any fish or coral that you want.
 
Not to Hi-Jack the thread but where is Frazer zoo and do they have a website? I am looking for a new place.

You guys are amazing. Thank you! I've spent weeks looking for pet stores to apply to, I'm moving to Philly soon but not physically there yet. I was hoping to get a good idea of which ones have the best reputation. Don't want to work somewhere with a bad reputation...But you just listed three that I didn't even know existed. That's awesome, thank you.
 
nemos sucks there tank are always dirty have dead fish in them. There prices are supper high 120 for a 40 breeder is crazy and the list goes on and on
 
Wow We were trying to help they membr out finding Pet Stores in the Philly area. This turned into a Ad for Capt Nemo's... I am sorry Molly for some rude people on here who have to ruin your thread. Unfortunatly some people on here don't have the respect others do. Please visit all of them and make up your mind yourself. You will find that all the different stores in the area have something different and different expericance level to offer.
I do not work at any pet store and would be more than happy to point you in the direction of any and all pet/fish stores in the area.
 
Ok here it goes. I have been thinking about this all day. I am very upset with tmac1rebok. you are 20 years old and have no respect for yourself or the place that employs you. Someone expressed their opinion on Capt Nemo's (kinda harsh at that) and you come back with being rude. This is a public forum everyone sees it. In this economy I would watch what I say and who I say it around. You don't want to **** off any customers.
I am sorry for thread-jacking but this was bothing me. A forum member was asking for help and we turn this into one of Capt Nemo's employees being ignorant. I hope they are no reflection on the rest of the staff they employ. I also hope this is not the caliper of employees they hire.

With attitudes like yours temac1rebok bragging you are from the Philly area, is why Philly is a laughing stock of the country. We are here to help not bash, if that is why you are here please delete your account because other members and myself don't want advice from you.

Again sorry for thread-jacking and thank you for allowing me to vent. Molly if you would like more information please contact Delaware Valley Reef Club. They will be able to help you more. On a side note I am not a member of any club nor a employee of any store. I am a music producer who enjoys reef tanks.
