Jason's Homemade Flies

Most pet stores stock tanks and filters; few specialize in what swims inside them. Aquarium shops that focus on live feed and custom cultures can make the difference between a static display and a thriving ecosystem. Jason's Homemade Flies offers exactly that niche, supplying hobbyists with the tiny organisms that keep fish healthy and tanks balanced.

The shop operates from an unassuming storefront where the address isn’t posted on every corner—yet regulars know to look for it. Directions can be tricky, so checking the map before heading out is wise. Once there, the selection speaks for itself, with cultures ranging from infusoria to daphnia, and live foods like blackworms and brine shrimp.

Questions about dosing or compatibility are common, and the staff fields them without fuss. A quick call to (347) 574-4005 can save a trip if you’re unsure about what’s in stock. For anyone serious about maintaining a vibrant aquarium, it’s a resource worth keeping on speed dial.
