    Sup guys, I was looking for 'local' fish stores around new england, within a 2 hour (one way) driving distance of Worcester MA. I like to hit up different LFS's around and see whats new every few weeks.

    My Favorites are

    Tropical Isle (Natick MA)
    Krystal Clear Aquatics (Auburn MA)
    Pet Nook (Acton Ma)

    And just the other day I was bored and drove up to Jay's Aquatics in Salem, NH. Nice Place, ended up bringin some Green Mushrooms and a Trumpet Coral Home, in addition to a nice Yellow Rainbow for my FW tank.

    Any other hidden jewels around lower New England you guys know of?

    CT? or RI? I am willing to make a small road trip...

    I live near Norwich/New London Ct and my favorite is Tropical Isle. I make a road trip to Natick about every other month. Tropical Isle special ordered some livestock for me before also.

    There are some "All Pets Club" stores around the Hartford area that are ok with a dozen or so saltwater tanks. They seem ok and the fish are always healthy, never had a problem.

    Would be interested in learning of some new places too. Drove to Norwalk Ct a month ago and was majorly disappointed in the place I went there.

    im subscribed to this, i just moved to norwich ct and im not too impressed with what we have locally. i'd burn a tank of gas to go get a fish and it'd still be cheaper than paying shiping online.

    what ever yoyu do, dont goto pachaug aqrariums
