NY Aquatics review

[Sdeluca10]

For what’s it worth, Spaceman was the one that brought my attention to Nyaquatics. I’ll prefix by saying I will order from again.

Since then I have received
1st order
- Sand sifting starfish. (alive and healthy)
- red spotted blenny (deceased within 24hrs)
- yellow head sleeper goby. (alive and healthy)
- firefish (deceased within hrs)
- Full moon reef goby (never seen again after addition. No idea if it’s still alive)
- lyrtail anthias (DOA)
- six line wrasse (alive and healthy)
- Cleaner wrasse (alive and healthy)
- yellow watchman goby (saw for 5 days, haven’t seen since) could still be around, idk).
- yellow clown goby (alive and healthy)

2nd order
- Emperor angel fish Juv
Was advertised as 3-4 inches, but arrived at like 2-2.5 inches.. (not happy with that) but healthy
- Firefish (alive and healthy)
- Yellow watchman goby. (Haven’t seen but could be under rock with pistol shrimp)
- African red biscuit starfish (alive and healthy)

3rd order
- flame angelfish (alive and healthy)
- moorish idol. (alive and healthy)
- copper band butterfly (alive and healthy)


All orders received in the year 2025.
*note Morrish idol eating on arrival
*note copperband eating on arrival.
*no problems with others but felt those were specifcs to point out.

Note: I have no relationship which NYaquatics other than being a customer. Just thought being a fairly local east coast business with low shipping fees and good success it was worth sharing.

My experience with them, bag had 1.5" of water, the box had the rest. $300 Australian CBB DOA, sure my gf got a refund but it's pretty disheartening eating the shipping when the packaging was sub par.

I just got back from there yesterday , after shipping problems with packing , airline delays super hot or cold weather or UPS I take the 3 hr ride to save my animals the last trama of shipping . Iv never lost anything I went and picked up . This is a nice field trip for fish freaks like us and Yonkers has some great pizza just dont wander too far off the main drag . One other note wait till the facebook feed on Sunday around 12 noon till around 2 for visuals of the fish and quite often 50% or close savings . Iv been dealing with him for 20 years when I would go to his house with a cellar full of tanks , Mike is awesome and my moorish idol is the coolest eating machine he has many more .

I like them I just don't feel comfortable with the dead fish so I rarely order from them. I don't think its their fault, it's the shipping stress/weather/etc. They do take care of you tho. I bought some fish from them @ RAP NY and they are doing great.

Curious how the Moorish idol and copper van are doing? Hopefully well and if so any tips?

It is a spectacle going there. Super interesting!
