Hello everyone, I been in this hobby for over a decade and have a really really hard time finding a LFS that sell quality fish. Any one know a store in the NYC/ Long Island area that QT'S fish for you?

What have you heard about either one that makes you think that?I don't know about Salgado and Manhattan, both have a negative reputation concerning quality of fish. But I did hear the AMA is good. I'm looking for a place that would qt fish for you before you put in your system. Any ideas?
House of Fins is a quality LFS, but be prepared to pay for the pleasure. And I mean a lot. Prices are like triple what I see elsewhere.Manhattan has poor selection for reef fish; if you have a car, Absolutely Fish in Clifton NJ is the place to go, or perhaps House of Fins in CT. I have seen the House of Fins maintenance vans in SOHO so they probably can deliver to you if you are willing to pay for it.
I like the guys at Manhattan Aquariums but would not recommend their fish.
Interesting; I have not been there in many years but their prices were usually pretty competitive. That is a shame they have gone up so much. They always had the rare stuff and their fish were always healthy. Had a huge tank about 15 years ago stocked with fish only from that store; never lost a single fish from them.House of Fins is a quality LFS, but be prepared to pay for the pleasure.

Not trying to be negative in any way. They’re knowledgeable and high quality, just really, really expensive.
Not any more, lol; the guy said he sold the whole setup.Interesting; I have not been there in many years but their prices were usually pretty competitive. That is a shame they have gone up so much.

I have been to POTO before; they have I think three tanks with fish only setups, and they don't quarantine unfortunately. Great place for frags though!
