There is a place called "A Lot of Fish" in I believe West Islip on Montauk highway about 2 miles west of Fishy Inc. They had a lot of good stuff, and reef stuff too. I picked up two fish from them today.

LCGoldman · #6 09/10/2006, 08:31 PM

I never heard of that store before.

Did you add it to the Rating website?

xhaust50 · #7 09/11/2006, 09:52 PM

Here is the info:

A Lot of Fish Inc
262 E Main St, Babylon, NY 11702
(631) 321-6862

My brother just picked up a 12" Golden Knife for $40, and the guy packaged it in a huge bag with a ton of water, and then put it into a large styrofoam cooler with a lid. This guy really seems top notch, please check him out if you get the chance.

ah.

xhaust50 · #13 09/16/2006, 04:15 PM

Does anyone know of a fish store / warehouse in Farmingdale on marine street? I have been advised that this place is excellent, but I don't know anything about it and couldn't find any info here.

pyro383 · #14 09/16/2006, 07:29 PM

For what I remember, it is 1 of the wholesale place that sell fish & corals to stores. This came from a guy that I used to buy corals out of his house.

fishome25 · #15 09/16/2006, 09:47 PM

yes, that is wholesale only

Wrong info.

That closed one is Animal Tailz, not Mega Pets.

I've heard there's a LFS in Rocky Point. Anyone been there before?

Neurotech · #18 09/30/2006, 02:53 PM

Yes, Brian's Aquarium - He has mostly FW, but a few SW fish. He does pick his fish personally from his supplier, just doesn't have many. Prices are OK. Recently started carrying a few softies and shrimp in two tanks. They also have reptiles, birds, etctera.

LCGoldman · #19 11/26/2006, 03:30 PM

BUMP for a very useful thread.

Would I be wrong to say "stick it yourself!"?

Thread stuck

Three cheers for Larry!!!

I think we did the club a disservice by not making him a BOD member. (whether he wanted to be or not

)

xhaust50 · #25 12/05/2006, 07:50 PM

I think it's a good idea. Any chance you can edit the original post to contain some of the LFS's posted further done, that way there is a complete list?
