I would recommend either All Things Fishy in Marlboro
(http://www.allthingsfishy.net/), or Tropic Isle in Framingham
(http://www.tropicisleaquarium.com/). I live in Marlboro, so these are
pretty close for me. I've checked out a couple of the stores in Worcester
and have not found one I liked. Jose over at Beacon Aquarium
(http://www.beaconaquarium.com/) is pretty sharp, but his store is a total
mess.

I am partial to ATF because Chuck has given me a lot of good advice, and is
always willing to help out. Tropic Isle is a much bigger store, has a
better selection, and is cleaner/better organized but it gets pretty busy so
it's hard to get help sometimes. They both take very good care of their
fish. I visit each of them a couple times a month, so I know they take
consistently good care of their stock.

If you are coming from Worcestor, I would probably try out Tropic Isle
first. It's just off of Route 9 so it should be pretty easy to get to.

I goto the Tropic Isle myself. They have a great selection, not to
mention there is a HOT girl working behind the counter. She;s kind of
a goth\metal chick, but very nice.. Check it out. The fish
selection is ok too.
