Store Of The Day: Royal Aqua World, Bait and Tackle

With the recent closing of World Electronics on 8th Avenue the only bait and tackle shop I knew of in the neighborhood. Sunset Park's fishing community has been left with few alternatives. I had forgotten about Aqua World on 65th street and 8th Avenue till I passed by it recently. The place also doubles as an Aquarium where you can purchase Koy fish and other exotics which are big in the Chinese community. Well, if you're into fishing the place has a full selection of tackle equipment as well and of course bait to entice those little fishies to bite that hook. They're located on 65th street just off 8th Avenue.

Store of the Day: Reef Aquarium on 55th and 8th

One of the most fascinating things about the Chinese arriving in Sunset park is their fascination with aquarium fish. In particular large carps known as Koi. Sunset Park can therefore boats the largest concentration of aquarium fish stores in the borough. For starters is the above store located near Pacificana Restaurant. No they don't sell fish for eating, though we have plenty of edible  fish stores as well.  The place is a trip to visit. unlike Petland on  5th these stores only have fish and not merely Koi but other collectibles as well. You could spend a good couple of hours inside just gazing at all the different tropical fish (both salt and fresh water). The pictures below might entice you to visit them. They are on 8th Avenue near 55th street. Of course they're not the Brooklyn aquarium butt for a local stop, well worth the visit. Who knows? Maybe you'll buy a tank and little fishies :-).
