Franklin Pet Center

This place is a excellent pet store as far as fish I don’t know about any of the other animals I have bought many fish for Them and all my fish good and healthy. I’ve been to many other fish stores all over LI and NYC where I’ve seen Dead or dying fish. Tanks infested with ick, sea lice or snail’s Etc. etc
These guys know there jobs. I find them to be very courteous and knowledgeable I have yet to ask a question and them not knowing the answer to it. so my recommendation is if you want good quality fish you want good advice these guys are it. Petco and the big chain stores they got kids working that have no idea what they’re talking about and will probably give you the wrong advice if I were you I’d start here. I highly recommend this place it’s not the prettiest place but you get the good stuff there. As far as prices they might be a little pricier but again I don’t mind paying for a good product and good advice.

They are not very hopeful especially «Manny» he is very rude. Definitely won’t be shopping there in the future. Or recommend anyone to shop there.

This guy has been keeping fish since the tanks were glass with metal frames and slate bottoms. Anyone with that much experience is ok in my book. I haven’t been here in years just stoped in to reminisces in my childhood fish supply place and same guy behind the counter lol.

I went there Saturday ⁵⁄₄. I
Bought 2 blood Parrots. They both died in 24 hours. I brought them back and Manny told me to bring in water from my tank. He checked it out and was clean with a pH of 7.2. He then told me that he sold all dyes blood parrots. I said utopia had 20 and he said, «No, 36.» Brice then talk to a coworker and said they all died overnight. He offered two plain blood parrots, but my daughter did not want them. He was reluctant to give me any fish and told me the blood parrots were there for over three weeks. My daughter picked a severum and he he wanted to just trade 40 dollars of fish for a 20 dollar. I said I don’t want a single fish in her tank so he threw in 2 plaited even through I said the blood parrot will kill it. Then he said even trade, even through I was out about 12 dollars. My background, worked at Percocet gush department for 4 years while getting my BS in chemistry. I know fish, I use to go to pry barn because they had oddities and heathy fish. NOR ANYMORE. Bad customer service,

The place is owned by Manny who has been in the fish industry for over 30 years and knows a lot. His associate Bruce is very knowledgeable about the plants, small animals and birds. The prices are a bit higher than most but you will find the quality is at the top on Long Island and he can get just about anything you may need if he doesn’t have it already.
