Thank you for visiting my forum. I own and have operated a veterinary hospital and pet shop, primarily for birds, in Hillsborough, NJ (Central Jersey) since 1988. (I’m a Board-Certified Avian Specialist). I’ve been a marine aquarist for over 40 years. I worked in the first pet shop in N.J. to have saltwater fish and began my college career as a Marine Biology major. Although my marine biology professor discouraged me from continuing in this field, my love for the hobby remains, and, in 2007, I extended it to a section of my pet shop that I call Dr. Jim’s Reef Corner, primarily as result of the SEMINARS (http://www.amwellbirdhospital.com/seminars.html) I have offered clients (and others) to share my knowledge of saltwater systems, corals and fish.
My veterinary hospital and pet shop are in the lowest level of my home. The reef section is small, with three reef tanks from which I sell corals and two large tanks from which I sell QUARANTINED and TREATED FISH. {See next thread}. Upstairs, in my home, I have a room full of quarantine tanks, my personal 500 gal reef tank with a SPS frag tank, and a bank of eight tanks where I am trying my hand at breeding fish! Being the only “worker” in my reef store, it is best to call before visiting to find a time that’s good for both of us, so I’m not occupied with a veterinary client when you arrive. (I often meet with aquarists after hours and on weekends.)
My veterinary hospital is my primary business and source of income; my reef store is just for fun, so I can keep my pricing low to help my fellow-aquarists in every way I can. I look forward to meeting you!
