Best saltwater fish shops?

DH and I are thinking about getting a saltwater fish tank. We both had tanks growing up and think it would be fun to have one again. We'll be doing saltwater but beyond that we need to do more research. I'm looking for recommendations for good fish stores (well cared for, large selection, possibly sell tanks, etc also) on the island. We're borderline nassau/suffolk and are willing to travel a bit for a really good store.

BTJs Jungle right on Sunrise in West Islip/Bay Shore is really good.

Also, there's a big place on Sunrise in Copaigue, right by Sal's Fruit Tree. I think it's called Pet Warehouse.

Those are the best, most knowledgeable places we've found in the area. Good luck!

DH has had a saltwater tank for over 10 years. He swears by South Shore Tropicals which is now on Hoffman Avenue in Lindenhurst.

Country critters is on 112 I believe thats medford they have a nice fish section

also Pets warehouse is on sunrise highway not sure of the town but also good fish section.

Re: Best saltwater fish shops?

All of those stores mentioned are great and if you are willing to travel a bit out east, there is a store called Aqua Hut on route 112 in Coram. Amazing salt water fish there!

I agree Aqua hut is good and there is also a new one on sunrise highway by the south shore mall on the south side.not sure of the name but the sign is blue and it says Aquariums
