West Reading Aquarium Specialty Store Features Exotic Fish and Corals - Berks Weekly

Posted: 19 Aug 2020 01:30 PM PDT

From the moment you walk through the eye-catching door of Coral Reef Connection in West Reading, a sense of peace envelops you.

Soothing light, meant to mimic the natural rays of the sun, calms the senses almost immediately, while the gentle sound of trickling water from the gigantic aquarium in the center of the room could give a pricey white noise machine a run for its money.

Beautiful clownfish, pufferfish, and other exotic varieties of fish swim peacefully through the tanks that line the walls in both the front and back rooms, and a small seating area near the front window provides a lovely space to sit and enjoy your peaceful surroundings.

Owner Will Becker, who did a large amount of the renovations to the building (which used to house Sweet Surprises) himself, took pains to make sure that the environment of the store was as welcoming as it could possibly be.

More important than the peaceful atmosphere, however, is the fact that everything sold at Coral Reef Connection is sustainably and ethically sourced.

Becker believes firmly in preserving and protecting the environment, and he hopes that passion is communicated clearly in the selection of both freshwater and saltwater fish and living aquatic plants and organisms that the store sells.

"Coral Reef Connection has an aquaculture/grow out facility" says Mr. Becker, "[which means that] we cultivate our own corals to grow and sell fragments that grow off of larger colonies, which in turn adds sustainability to our reefs."

He is looking forward to connecting with the community in West Reading and the surrounding areas.

Coral Reef Connection is located at 544 Penn Ave in West Reading, open W-F 12-8pm, Sat-Sun 12-5pm.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
