Hey Christie, I used to live in Waltham. It's funny how you find people that lived right down the street from you!

Hi Everybody,

I live in Melrose MA. I absolutely love AA. I was psyched to see a New England Forum. I currently have a 30 gal. with 11 Tiger Barbs, 1 Raphael Catfish, 5 Otto's, PFS, and planted. I have been in the hobby since I was a kid. I am now 22 and I am a full time student at Umass Boston and I work full time as an EMT. I am setting up a soon to be Reef Aquarium in August. Hopefully we can get more people in the New England Forum.

Hello fellow New Englanders!

My name is Liz and I live in Somerville, MA. I have 3 tanks going at the moment:

- a 55 gallon tank with tetras, cories and a few others
- a 10 gallon QT tank with a platy, 3 ottos and 2 cories
- a 2 gallon betta tank

I thought it would be great to get to know some people in my area. I've really been enjoying this forum -- what a great group of friend and knowledgeable folks!

Hi Liz...Welcome!!

I am glad to see some new members taking interest lately. I am from Medford and I moved out about 4 years ago after high school. I now have a condo in Melrose.

Where do you usually shop for fish?

Any questions about anything feel free to PM me.'

I am from manchester NH,

I go to all the stores around... Petco, Petland, AquaAddicts in Salem, AquariumGallery in Hudson, Little shop of Pets in portsmouth... not too impressed with their livestock..., SeaWorld

I like fish what can I say!

 

[Guest]

Welcome Sabbot!,

How is AquaAddicts for saltwater? I was under the impression that it was good, however it is a far drive for me.

Surprisingly, I've had great luck at the Petsmart in Everett. Of course, their selection isn't the best, but I was very pleased to see they had rubberlip plecos. Overall, I'm really happy with the health of the fish there.

I would definitely love to find a nearby place with a better selection of tank decor though. I'll have to read through the other posts in here to see if there are any recommendations on that.

Actually, for fresh water fish, I do like Petsmart in Everett. I still have a few I got there a while ago. They are not bad at all.

I have some differences with one of the employees but the selection is decent. I would just inspect the tanks you buy from.

Good spot in Boston

I go to Skipton's in Boston near Boston Medical Center. Have had good advice from the staff there especially Eric and the coolest coiffed aquarist Michelle.

I have a 40 gal fresh with 3 Butterfly Koi, 3 to 4in, a Senegal Bichir 6 in. and a large L-109 Pleco 7 inches.

Also a 15 gallon high with a Red-finned Shark 5 in and 7 years old!
And a bunch of Zebra Danios (7), and a small pleco..

Been to Petco in Braintree, got treated like crap, still bought some Danios.
