Hi jcabs100
I live in Suffolk and the city is just a bit too far for me to go shopping for fish. I can, however, tell you how to get in touch with folks who know about all the lfs in there. Here's a link to the
Greater City Aquarium Society which meets monthly at the Queens Botanical Garden. In fact, they have a meeting coming up next Wednesday.
There are other aquarium societies you might be interested in checking out too. If you scroll down to the New York section you will find links to their websites. Even if you choose not to join one, keep an eye out for their shows and auctions which take place regularly. You won't be sorry you did.
