there's also brooklyn aquarium on 339 9th St.
only went once when i wasnt into saltwater... cant even remember if they have saltwater.
World Class is one of the best in brooklyn for salt but.. well, brooklyn is bad for salt water. they do sell nice little frags for 3$/lbs.
for those of us without cars, saltwater keeping in brooklyn is quite difficult.
there's also a petlanddiscounts near kings plaza mall, in the little plaza w/ homedepot.. they have some fish and crustaceans, even some feather duster worms at a decent price, look healthy too.

In queens there is FishTown USA with very deacent pricing and also Aquarium Adventure in LI (Carle Place) but they are rather expensive.
Then again, if you are a member of the Brooklyn Aquarium Society you can get discounts at most of the area stores and if you show your membership card at Aquarium Adventure you will get free Fish Club Card entitling you to savings of 25% on livestock.

I live very close to FishTown and I like to go there and see. Just for fun because I can go walking from home.
I took a look at the LR and doesn't seem so appealing.
I noticed also they have several dead and nearly dead fishes.
In fact, they have decent prices and people buy as if they be at the supermarket. Every day you can find a whole new livestock or replaced livestock.

this is my first post and i'm from brooklyn too. i was in my area in sheepshead bay and i found out they are opening a new LFS on East 22nd and Ave X (it's a small location on the side of the corner building on 22nd). The owners of the store are chinese. it's a really small store but i've seen A LOT of tanks moving in. I even spoke to one of the owners there when they were moving in like a 400+ gallon in there. I asked him what he was gonna put in there and he told me that it was for a black tip reef shark. They said they were opening sometime Mid-May. I live by there and when it opens up i'll let you guys know. I'm new to the reef hobby and hope you guys can help me out since you guys are around the way.

Has anyone tried an online service like saltwaterfish.com for livestock? I'm new to the hobby, live in brooklyn and have had tried out several of the afore mentioned LFS-none of which I would endorse. Saltwaterfish.com has competitive pricing and free shipping-what do you guys think? Oh, and stay away from A world of Pets on 86th street- sick fish and bad information.
