Re: going to a wedding in LI
Re: going to a wedding in LI
Pets warehouse is good. I just bought a cleaner shrimp there for $12 and it's been doing great in my tank. Much better than the $50 price tag I've seen at other stores. eh hehm..
The main problem I have with Pets Warehouse though is the fish.. some of them look healthy, some do not.. I'd be a bit weary of buying fish from them. The second problem is that it's not well lit. they really need to do a better job with lighting. I mean both the overall store and certain tanks.. It looks like some of them have a rotating light fixture (1 light for a number of tanks.. strange)

I was attending a trade show at Javitz Center last Sunday, and stopped by a store named "Manhattan Aquariums" located at 522 West 37th St. Between 10th and 11th Ave. the first time. I was amazed by the collection of rare and beautiful corals in the store, I was also extremely impressed by the setup of a 500 & more gallons circular reef tank. The owner Joe is very knowledgeable and friendly, actually I bought quite a few corals from him at MR Swaps in the past, but I was not aware that he run such a beautiful store with so many more selections there.
If you think "Country Critter" or "Pet Warehouse" is the best store for corals in Long Island, you will not be disappointed by paying a visit of this store in the City.
The store has the following website.

and their phone number is (212)594-2272.

Who can compete the fish prices with Aquahut and Fishtown USA?
The store is not big, possibly 2,000 SF, but almost completely devoted to corals and salt water fish suitable for reef tanks.
For corals only, the store possibly has the most unique and wide collections comparing with the other stores I have visited in NY & NJ. Their prices are reasonable, and the owner seems willing to work with you.
Usually I have to pay over $50.- for parking when attending the trade shows in Javits Center which is couple blocks away from the store, it's helpful that the store has a small parking lot free for customers.
