Tropic Isle in Framingham is hands down the best aquarium shop I’ve been to in New England, very much worth the drive if you really want to get into the hobby

I’m in a weird middle ground where I can see myself getting really, really into it but the betta I care for is in the preschool class I teach and I have no room for him at home. If I had the room and knew I would be taking him home with me this summer I would defs make the hike to Framingham, but seeing as it’s up in the air I’m not sure if it worth it.

Tropic Isle has been on a steady downward trajectory over the past decade, IMO. They're on their 3rd location now and still most of the tanks are barren. I work near there and drop by every couple of weeks, but still haven't bought livestock there in years. Good for dry goods thought.

Ahh that’s sad to hear, I haven’t been in years but I remember when I first walked in i was so impressed I swore they could’ve charged admission
