they have a good selection of fish... if you catch them when they get them. OTherwise, nothing special at all, and in my opinion, prices are bad.

Don't forget Sea Schor.
Scotts has some good clownfish for $15@ and a varied selection of some saltwater, and a small corals tank, but it is a hit-and-miss. They are indeed pretty good for freshwater cichlids, and they have a cool stingray pond. Overall prices are high. It is certainly one of the cleaner shops and good for browsing.

High prices, low quality. Neat place to see but then go some where else to buy. The above shops are great as is reefplus.net

If you want a shop thats closer, Ocean Design on Irving Park & Narragansett, is a fantastic shop. they have a nice selection of corals & QT all their SW fish for 2 weeks. Coral Reef, in Norridge, on Lawrence, between Harlem & Cumberland, has the best prices on drygoods, anywhere.

Go check it out for yourself and see what you think of it. You might have a different opinion.

No kidding! and that F*****NG recording on the phone is so annoying! I wish I would be able to call from work and find out if they have something specific before I do the 10 minute drive in the oposite direction of my house. GrRRrR! :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

They are an okay store...For experienced reefers it can be a gold mine. I remember getting cultured colonies for $35 back in the day....ahh the good times 
Just get there when they get their shipments in and do your homework.

Now, I might be biased because I live about 5 minutes away, but I think that Scott's has a pretty good selection as long as you are there a day or two after a shipment arrives. I think the prices are pretty good. Now granted, I moved out here from the city where Old Town was the closest fish sources, but I don't think that $9.99 for firefish or $39 for a foxface is that bad. How much cheaper than $15-20 for clownfish do other stores go?
I'm not an advocate for Scott's. I just thought that as local fish stores go their selection (only after shipments come in, stuff is usually gone in a couple of days) and prices seemed to be pretty good. There coral selection is hit or miss and has seemed to miss more than hit lately, but I like stores with flat prices for corals ($59 tanks, $49 tanks, etc). I was just kind of surprised at the response to the question. What stores around that area am I missing.
