Hey Joon. I don't recognize the zip code but there are a few decent fish stores in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas. Depends on what your looking for also and you definition of "decent." I'm not aware of any that put a lot of emphasis on plants. One new store is East Coast Aquatics near the airport.

Unfortunately, I find myself driving further and further for a decent lfs.

Hey Joon,
The Aquarium Center in Clementon, N.J. is one of the better LFS in the area. A great selection of fish, and a whole wall in front dedicated to plants.http://www.aquariumcenter.biz/ . If you want to drive out a little farther, That Fish Place is a must see. http://www.thatpetplace.com/

last i heard, no plans to re-open. my wife works near there and said it's just an empty store. not even signage.

you'd think that a fish store wouldnt have fire problems, with all that water all over the place, LOL!!!!

joon · 03-17-2012, 07:23 PM

ah i like to drive 30~60mins visiting LFS
where should i go? i look for some lfs in NJ and NY area now

I like Fish Factory i visited yesterday

**orchidman** · 03-17-2012, 07:31 PM

that fish place is in lancaster, not sure how far that is from you though.

DaveK · 03-17-2012, 08:04 PM

That Fish Place is about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hour drive from most places in Philadelphia.

I also like The Hidden Reef, and Aquarium Center.
