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
