NJ Local Fish Stores

Cool

I used to go there all the time. Hopefully they'll do better than Mike and the crew did. They had a sweet place at one time. Then when it changed hands, I guess the quality and everything else went down hill. Can't wait to see what they do with it

ANimal Krackers is a small store with Fresh Water only.....owner is great and any drygoods needed she can order and beat anyones LFS price.....and sometimes internet pricing...
 
Went to Fish Underground today and it has a "FOR RENT" sign in front and nothing insde. But luckily Reef Encounters is only one more exit away off Route 80.
Also I have been to the Route 4 place before and went again today after checking out this thread. I dont know who the guy is working there but I am not sure he really knows what he is talking about.
All thier water has a green Tinge to it and there are dead fish all over the place. If they are still in the process of getting it up and going I would say they have a long way to go.
But I did notcie they have some serious RK2 equipment set up, so maybe they will improve over the next few months..
OH... One more thing they have a Black Tip reef shark on display, kind of cool and worth checking it out..

I would check out Absolutely Fish....not the best prices...as a matter of fact, probably the most expensive in the North... but the best selection and quality....really worth it in IMO

Addition to the Noth NJ.
Fish Twon USA Rt17 South Ransey.
Sorry I don't have a ph# right now. I was in there last week and they were setting up more reef display tanks. Not the biggest place, but very friendly and helpful staff.
 
Just went to Aaron's Aquarium on Stuyvesant in Union. Looks like it's going to be a good store. They had about 12-1 tanks that look like they will be reef eventually. The owners are nice and helpfull. They said that they are getting in a big shipment this week and they hand pick everything at the wholesalers.
 
to add to the list. South,

In Living Color Aquariums. they are in the old Aquarium Authority location, but twice the size.

That's Oceanarium

it's a new store. I stopped by they Saturday. THe store will officially be opened on Wednesday, one of the owners said that he will have in a bunch of stuff. I look at the LR he had, looks good, some bracnh, fiji, and some stuff he said he was using to cycle the tanks with, but it had a lot of life on it. Had some nice Angels, and a few other fish. But, not a lot. I hope it stays around as we all know how fast a store can come and go. I mentioned that Pynces said some thing about the store online, and he was surprised. MAYBE, NJRC can arrange something with them, like group buys or discounts, that would be a good way to get new members, PHYL.

Anyway, I'll write more about it Wednesday, I'll stop in and see what's up on my way to work. I want to see what corals and agnels he can get. Said he could get a Peppermint Angel, but I don't have that kinda of loot. That's a 2,500 to 5k fish. Anybody got 1995 to 5k to lend me??????

anyone know if this place is still in business? i cant seem to find it.
 
Is Eagle Reef in Hillsborough an actual shop or a business out of someone's house - only reason I ask is that I remember that area being all residential?

Either way next time Im down that way to visit my parents ill have to check it out :)
 
Ive been to four fish stores in the north jersey area during the past month.

Absolutely Fish - Large selection of corals and fish. The best in the area. Expensive

The Fish Tank on route 46 - Big store and hard to believe....some of their corals were more expensive than comparable pieces at Absolutely Fish.

Reef Encounter in Hackinsack - Largest store of the three. Fantasic selection of dry goods. Fish look very heathly.
Their coral selection is limited. And what they had were not that great looking. Decent selection of fish. Prices are better than the other two stores.

A & A Aquatics - Route 4 Fort Lee just before the GWB - avoid at all costs. Real Dump

Conclusions imho:

Dry goods - Reef Encounters
Corals - Absolutely Fish
Fish - Reef Encounters or Absolutely Fish
