not worth it imo...hate to bash a local business, especially being a local business myself. When they were on northern the coral was almost always bleached, receding, and overpriced. This area is dying for a well maintained marine/coral store.

I never thought of them as a place to go get corals, though every so often they would get in something really nice. To me they were more about fish and inverts.

agree area does need a good lfs that is not shaddy. Last time I went to fishtown they kinda forgot what customer service was. hope with the new management in place it will be better.

I agree they were not the best for corals but did have some good inverts and fish

about 3-4 years ago, they actually had some decent corals. IDK what happened. Since the dad pasted away things haven't been the same. George and Noel did their best. But yea, their prices were high but I guess they based it on locations, also being they were the only LFS around that area for years. Aquarium Village is the same, High Price and bad customer service..

I don?t remember a time in the last decade when fish town had good anything. The only good was that one guy who left there and worked with Andrew at Advanced for a while when Andrew was first starting.
Aquarium Village on the other hand was awesome just a few short years ago. Don?t know the inner workings there but from where i?m sitting Rocco left, store went to crap

I?ve been going to New York reef aquatic in flushing for the past year or 2. They have a nice selection of coral, a husband and wife own the store, and imo they try to do the right thing. Anybody reccomend any other stores relatively close by?

I stopped by the new shop today it is now called FishWorld USA.. it is a nice smaller shop and the staff is super cool. The saltware section is very very small. I spoke to one the guys that helped me and he said they will get some corals but not alot..

Wow... I did not know they had moved.
Fishtown USA was a regular stop for me as a kid, but the location they had in Manhattan on 33rd and 3rd Avenue. (This should really date me!)
It was a great place for the time, but the employees were a bit obnoxious. The location in Flushing was decent, but when the father passed away it went downhill. They had decent prices on fish and inverts and were a great place to pickup frozen foods that you couldn't find elsewhere at the time. (Cyclopeze, etc.)

I think I remember the Manhattan location too, in the early 90s?
The Queens one was a regular stop for me on the way home when I first started working in Queens (2001), but I stopped going so frequently over the last few years.
I also like NY Reef and Aquatic, but parking can be a pain there.

Lol, I had worked there for a short time. Victor the store manager was a slave driver!
They had a smaller shop on Nassau St, a block away from Petland.
