Hi I'm a newbie also from Brooklyn, NY. Here's my experience with the local fish stores:

the one on delancy street is very good. all the tanks are clean, seems like a good selection of plants (but, i'm a newbie - so what do I know?).

9th street near 5th avenue (in brooklyn), good for anything not alive. the tanks have lots of dead fish and look very gunky. but the guy there has a great
brooklyn accent - so its fun just to get him talking.

there's a lfs on court street in carrol gardens - pretty small, live things seemed ok.

2 fish stores on 5th avenue in sunset park (around 58th &48th I think)
they were ok, but the service was not great. didn't speak english that well

one on flatbush near ave. 'n' I think - nice store, clean, lots of stuff. the owner seemed very helpful.

and I've been to the petco on 14th street in the village - well its sort of
mcfish store.

ohmygod - I just started and I can't believe I've been to all these stores. there's something wrong with me.

water quality in brooklyn?

Hi,
I'm wondering if people in brooklyn do anything special with water changes to
deal with water quality...
my tank is cycling, so I'm not sure whats causing the problem, but my fish
are exhibiting symptoms of being unhappy with the water..
ie. standing still a lot, one of them is at a slant..

thanx
