Animals & Things is closed out, but down the road in Avenel is a shop called Aquatic Obsessions. Rare live stock, well worth the visit. Comparable to absolutely fish, but a way smaller store.

Can anyone recommend a good store close to Lawrenceville, Nj as google tend stop give me Petco and a few stores that are closed

You are in a tough place for this hobby. Allquatics on South Broad St in Hamilton would be the closest, but its not exactly a good place. They hit sometimes, but are mostly a miss. If you head into PA, there is Fish Factory in Bristol, and The Hidden Reef right up the rd in Levittown. Hidden Reef is probably the best dry goods place, and Fish Factory usually has a better selection of livestock. The live stock at HR is questionable at best and I would highly recommend not buying anything alive there. FF has some of the highest prices on dry goods around. So a trip to both places might be worth it.

I'm in Bordentown and usually find that it is well worth the money to take the trip up to Aquatics Obsession in Avenel, or out to Ocean to visit Tropiquarium and Aquarium Care Center. All three are excellent on the Livestock side both coral and fish. AO is probably the most rounded of the 3 as being reef related but dry goods can be a bit on the high side. ACC is only a reef store but seem to concentrate more on livestock.

Hope that helps

I would stay away from Trop, their fish looked unhealthy and was not impressed. They do have a wide selection of dry goods though.

Aquarium Care Center had lot of corals for good prices, fish selection was a bit low, but they were having a huge sale.

Will at Aquatic Obesssion is a good guy and they are pretty decently priced as far as corals. Fish they have a good selection and everything looks healthy.

Aquatic Obsessions in Avenel, This store is worth the visit. Animals & Things on rt 9 is closed, but aquatic is right down the road.
