Exotic reef aquatic inc — Local services in New York

Good evening everyone. I have a hell of a story to tell about this location. I have bought african cichlids from this location in the past more than a few times. Recently I have purchased $100.00 worth of sand for my new African Cichlid tank. At that time, the workers seemed to be very compassionate. Yesterday I went to the store with four cichlids hoping to get a minimal store credit. I was told that they do not give credit for fish but you can donate the fish.

Trust the good reviews of this place. My husband works for an aquatic tank maintenance business and has maintained his own fish tanks for over 40 years and this is his main go-to when buying fish, corals and invertebrates. The main thing you want from a good fish store is clean tanks (so you can assess the health of the fish you're buying), and a knowledgeable staff. This place has that and more, esp hard to find LPS, SPS, and Softies (corals). It's worth the drive over there...
