Looking for a nice LFS in Connecticut or New York

njudson · 03/04/2010, 12:20 PM

Hi I live in New Rochelle, NY and work in Norwalk, CT. I am looking for any info about a good LFS in Westchester County New York or South Western / Central CT. Sorry if this is the wrong forum section for this sort of question.

The only nice LFS I know of is House of Fins in Greenwich which I like but it is pricey just looking for some other nice places so I can shop around and talk to new people before I make the plunge into the hobby.

Thanks,
Nick

Greenwich Aquaria is just up the Post Road a couple miles from House of Fins. It is in Riverside across from St.Catherines Church. Beautiful store with great staff.
I would also check out Westport Aquarium on Riverside Drive in Westport. Nice small stor with good selection and helpful staff.

Just my 2cents as a New Canaan neighbor. Good Luck!

I went to Westport Aquarium yesterday after work. Very nice store with lots of very young fish definitely might buy some livestock there in the future. Gonna go check out Reef and Fin in Stamford today.

Starting to think a 40 gallon breeder might be the tank I decide to start with.

Just called their phone number and it is no longer a working number so I am going to guess they are not still open. Thanks for saving me a trip!
