Creavers Creatures in Rome, they have saltwater supplies. Theres one in Utica too, forgot the name, its down Oriskany boulevard; he has good prices on salt. Should be a few in Syracuse, just have to find them. I purchase many of my fish from sites such as Saltwaterfish.com. They come overnight fedex, packed very well (even for our Northern climate) and the fish are usually healthier than the LFS has.

Thanxs xoxox.
I've been to creavers creatures in rome. They sold me a nice clarii for a nice price. not a huge selection on cleanup crew, they have some nice corals though and they are reasonably priced. The place in oriskany is where I bought the bangaii cardinal I mentioned previously. I asked them a specific q, and they told me it was tank raised... then it died in the QT from the intestinal parasite that the wild caught fish had. That is why I asked... and they misled me there. Wasted $25, sad fish expirience, lesson learned.
I am going to syracuse today... day off is nice. We'll see what they got!

Was just in Creavers today, they got in a whole bunch of baby snowflake eels and other fish. Thoses are pretty cool eels, but since I have an eggcrate top, chances are he would jump out and attack my fat cat (not the cat on my avatar). Yea, the LFS in Utica does seem to have health challenged fish but he does have some good priced supplies. Like I said, I buy all my livestock from these sites and the fish are super healthy.
