About
Michael's NYAquatic is a saltwater specialist in Yonkers, NY that local reef keepers treat as a destination. By several accounts it holds the largest selection of marine fish in the area, with racks of rare and high-end species you simply don't find at the average pet shop. Run by owner Michael alongside his daughter Haley and longtime team members like Ben and Tern, the shop has built a reputation for healthy, well-conditioned livestock and staff who genuinely know the hobby.
One recent visitor called it "one of the best places I've ever visited," praising a clean, well-organized store, fair prices, and a welcoming crew. This is an aquarium store built for serious marine hobbyists. The tanks lean heavily toward show-piece, hard-to-find specimens: Gem Tangs, Purple Tangs, Tomini Tangs, and Achilles Tangs; Coral Beauty Angels and other high-end angelfish; true Percula Clownfish; Blue Assessors; Borbonius Anthias; Copperband Butterflies; and Red Sea Broomtail Wrasses have all gone home with regulars.
If you're hunting rare saltwater fish for sale in Yonkers, NY, this is the kind of place where the rack changes constantly and you stumble onto something you didn't know you were looking for. Beautiful corals and invertebrates from around the world round out the livestock, so much of a reef build can be sourced under one roof. What keeps customers loyal is the condition of the fish.
Reviewers describe specimens that are fat, settled, and already eating — even notoriously tricky eaters like Copperband Butterflies. The team conditions livestock carefully, runs quarantine and copper, and even keeps a marine biologist in house; a 14-day guarantee backs every purchase, a difference longtime shoppers single out again and again. Communication is another constant — Michael is described as patient and responsive, never dismissing a newcomer's questions.
For anyone in Westchester searching for premium marine fish and corals near me, Michael's NYAquatic has become the go-to rare-fish source collectors return to tank after tank.
