Aquarium Stores?

Submitted by 19ginger90 t3_11oqk1l in newhampshire

Anyone into the aquarium hobby in NH? I just moved from AZ so I’m unfamiliar with good stores to go to in the state and would love advice! Anything that has a good selection of freshwater community fish and live plants because I’m really into aquascaping. Located on the seacoast but willing to drive. Thanks for your help!

Try Fish Mike Aquatics over in Manchester. I haven't had a setup in years, but that used to be my go to

whereabouts in NH are you? Fish Mike’s in Manchester is awesome, a small-business with knowledgeable and friendly employees (including Mike himself). That’s been my go-to since I found it, other than the occasional run to Petsmart for something small they might not carry

Jay's aquatics in Salem was always good for freshwater variety, I haven't been in years but that is where I got my clown knife and my dragon goby.

Zoo Creatures/NERD in Plaistow, NH. My father has like 15 tanks- gets most of his stuff there.

I live near Claremont Pet & Aquarium Center. Love the staff, super helpful, they will special order the fish I’m looking to get and can cut you some great deals at times. Fish Mike’s in Manch is also a fave.

Not sure where you’re located but Claremont Pet & Aquarium is really great - giant cat entrance, can’t miss it!

Like others have said, Fish Mike's and there's also a place in millford that has plants, at least they did the last time I was there.

If you were in the mountains I'd say plymouth pet and aquarium. Otherwise, bump for answers!

If you are in the Portsmouth area, this place is great.

Just opened up, it’s a branch of a long-standing store in Westbrook. I’m populating my first saltwater tank from them; Nate has been incredibly helpful-he knows his corals and tank setup. Their stock is coming up quick as they get them through quarantine. Highly recommended.
