Aquatics and Exotics is a wonderful little local fist store that is run by a sweet man who cares…read moreabout his fish and his kitties, who live in the shop. PLEASE NOTE: This shop is in NEW YORK, and it has nothing to do with the Aquatics and Exotics in Roanoke, Virginia where that awful assault of that woman happened. It is not affiliated with them in any way, shape, or form. Aquatics and Exotics is a name that both businesses just happened to choose, but they are not a franchise. THIS IS NOT THE RACIST PLACE. It makes me so sad to see someone who did nothing wrong get attacked for something that a stranger in another state did. OK! Now that that mess is out of the way, this little shop has what you need. So many beautiful driftwood and fancy stone options for hardscaping your aquascape. Do you want black and white stripey stones? You can find that here! Dragonstone for dramatic spires and cliffs? Yep! Cool aquamarine colored greenstone? Yeah, they have that, too! Do you like plants for your tank? Well, he grows his plants himself! Submerged, so they won't be nearly as likely to "melt" as the plants you mail order from big plant businesses that mostly grow their plans emersed (roots in water, leaves in the air) tend to. Leaves that grow in the air are not the same as leaves that grow underwater for aquatic plants, so if you buy a plant that has been grown out of water, it's gonna drop all those leaves and try to grow new ones, instead. I got some lovely plants here, and none of them died at all. They're also acclimated to the water we have around here, as are the fish! You WILL get snails if you don't treat the plants you get from here, but that really isn't a bad thing. The snails will eat algae and biofilm. They'll happily slide around like the little janitors they are. We got a brown ramshorn snail, and a grey one, as well as some bladder snails, in with our plants, and everyone in my household spends a bit of time each day trying to find the ramshorns. The fish are all quarantined before being put in to the main tanks. This is vital, and not something that happens at most big box pet stores. The fish you get here are much more likely to be healthy and stay healthy. They are far less likely to get your existing fish sick. It's a small shop, but he carries a nice variety of fish, snails, and shrimp. Do you have a favorite color? He probably has shrimp that come in that color. Do you love rainbow fish? He carries some really lovely ones. My tank is too small for them- they are schooling fish that can get to be 4 inches long- but if I had a bigger tank, I'd for sure get some from here. Mystery snails are excellent tank cleaners, and quite pretty. Lots of seachem and API products here, as well as high quality LED lights, nice filters, substrate, gravel, ETC. If you are an aquarium nerd, you can get your aquarium nerd on here, like I do. I drive over 40 minutes to go here instead of the closer big box pet stores. It is worth the drive!

Bill told me just how to fix the PH, and when my poor little honey gourami (named Harold) lost most of his tail to a bacterial infection he got because of the stress he was under, he gave us great advice on how to treat him to save him from that, too. Now Harold, toughest fish I've ever known, is darting around his tank happily, surviving against all odds because of Bill's guidance! The tanks don't look the greatest, but I didn't see a single sick fish, including a lot of more delicate breeds. That's the important part- everybody looked healthy.

A Year ago and a half ago I lost my sweet Elle' To liver…read moredisease. I still had her sister CoCo however after Elle past away CoCo was always so sad and seemed so lost. So I made the decision to start to look for another little sweetie to join our family and help bring my CoCo back to life. After searching and talking with so many breeders I found my sweet girl Sassy. Sassy is such a sweetheart and I felt she would be a perfect fit for our Family. So since I live in Maryland and and I personally don't believe in shipping a puppy, My Grandson & I went on a journey to New York to visit Emerald City Shih-Tzu's and a lady named Shelia. Shelia was very sweet and her puppies so well cared for. I fell in love with Sassy way before I ever got there however I also met another little tiny girl we named LuLu. Sassy and LuLu both came home with us and CoCo loves her little sisters and they love her. Prior to taking Sassy I explained to Shelia I just couldn't afford both girls even though I Truly wanted them both. Shelia was kind enough to cut me a I'm great deal and discounted the price so I could afford both my girls. When we were ready to leave and go home Shelia had Goody Bags waiting for both of the girls and has stayed in touch with me whenever I need to ask anything. I would recommend Shelia and Emerald City Breeders to everyone and I would use her services again!!! Thank You Shelia & Emerald City Shih-tzu's
