Fish Town (Ramsey): Not Impressed

[thirty5]

I just left Fish Town in Ramsey. I went for the purpose to actually buy something, but yet came home empty handed. They didn't have a decent variety of fish. They have some corals but I was not drawn to anything there, just your basic zoas in the small frag tanks. They need to get a better variety IMO. They do not have the tanks marked with what was in them, i am not the best with fish names. And having to ask every time it a PIA.

We need a decent fish store in Bergen County. I am very jealous of the members in NY who have so many places to goto.

What is it with the Fishtown name?

IDK, but even some of the tanks had cyno on the rocks and substrate. One of the yellow tangs looked like death the poor thing had no fins....

only go there to get salt.

OGII for their awesome specials and rods food
reef encounter for dry goods
frags-unlimited for nice corals
members such as myself that can get good deals on so me things
absolutely fish for rare or less carried fish in healthy condition but pay alittle more for their attention to detail. and better customer service. also the 15 dollar frag tank sometimes has some good things. but jason is right there.

better deals for dry goods are online or deals in the for sale threads.

thats my experience for the past 4 years.

to sum it up. better deals from members. njreefers is all central to south jersey and mr is NY. WE SUCK!!

LOL, I was not asking for a place to go, just wanted to comment on this store. Reef encounter is expensive for dry goods. PetGoods in paramus on Rt 17 is the best for Dry Goods IMO they have a nice large supply.

Jason does have nice corals, but cant really do any impulse buying with Jason since you have to work around schedules. I have bought from him before and probably will in the future. I was not going to Fishtown to get corals, but I was going to pick up a fish.

OMG that is so true. I must have been asked if I needed help 10 times..... I wanted to say "yes I need help, I need to know when you will actually have fish in stock"
