**Fishfirst** · 05-12-2006, 07:06 PM

I want to plug Dan at www.seahorsesource.com for excellent customer service, and real nice horses

Reefneck · 05-12-2006, 08:44 PM

www.dancofishtails.net

not alot on the site but an email can get you almost anything you may want and the customer service is way above average.

lochness · 05-23-2006, 03:01 PM

their site needs a lil work, but their stock, esp their saltwater section, is one of the best i've seen in the surrounding NNJ/NYC area - the pictures don't do the fish justice. I've also seen a few quarantine tanks.
always busy but also friendly and helpful - which seems to be missing in many fish stores with the exception of this smaller place.

The Fish Tank
249 Route 46 West
Saddle Brook, NJ 07663

we got our 90 gal aquarium from Absolutely Fish - a clean, well-organized store with an extremely informed staff - the prices are way up there tho on all their products EXCEPT their aquariums - their philo is *give em a great deal on the main product and be incredibly knowledgable and they will return to purchase fish and supplies* it works, because these are the 2 places we intend to do the majority of our fish shopping at.

absolutelyfish
1080 Route 46 West
Clifton, NJ 07013

NOTE:

UPDATE 9/20/2006
The Fish Tank seems to have suffered either new management or poor management - talk about a place going downhill fast - 2 week employee turn-overs, poorly stocked, over stocked weak filtered tanks and a very bored staff (actually saw one of the managers in the office lounging in the chair on the phone while the fish room had 10+ tanks with dead fish in them) - such a shame - the place had such promise

joe kool · 05-23-2006, 06:51 PM

I'm not sure how many do or don't visit other fourms but CF has a review section that covers equipment as well as retailers (Local, mail order fish, and mail order products) http://www.cichlid-forum.com/reviews/retailer_index.php

If this site has beef or don't like others refered to other fish sites then edit/delete this. BTW CF is just cichlids, there might be a section or 2 for "off topic" or "all others" something like that but their pretty much dedicated to Cichlids unlike this site which covers pretty much all aspects of fish keeping.

A little bit of a pain to order from but they have some things I haven't found elsewhere:
