Profile

This full-line aquarium shop does custom tank design for some of the biggest corporate offices and restaurants in the city. Although this dark, cramped store looks like a dorm room circa 1973, it offers a comprehensive selection of fish, tanks, and accessories. You'll find shiny baby eels and angelfish, plus tanks in all sizes and colored gravel.

Considering the space they have to work with, they have done an excellent job of equipping the place and hiring knowledgeable staff. Sometimes they are hurried and it is cramped, but for midtown this is a great spot to pick up hard-to-find saltwater fish and everything you need for a tank.

Great for Manhattan
