I go to PETCO at Union Square for supplies, and I go to Win Tropical in Chinatown for fish - especially bettas.

Review #1:
Specializing in ornamental goldfish.
Review #2:
It's such a nice store, I've never seen so many goldfish in one store. Take F train to Delancy/Essex street and walk towards the east side.
Review #3:
There were a lot of incredible fish there! The tanks were well kept, if over stocked in some. The Huge Goldies (It would take two hands to hold one) were in a 150 gal and there were only about 10 in it. I was impressed with that. They had lots of frozen foods and the staff was friendly.

I like this store for the pearlscales they carry(very nice calico and crown pearlscales). They do have other fish, but the main reason I go there is the pearlscales. Take 1/9 train to 96th Street, the store is between 98 & 99th on Broadway.
NYC/Brooklyn
Brooklyn Aquarium
9th Street between 6th and 5th Aves
Review:
You take the F train to 7th Avenue (stay in the next to last car!) Once u get out the train station you just walk down the slope (steep street) that is 9th Street. I buy a majority of my fish from that store. Sometimes they don’t have the fish properly listed... I got lucky and wound up with 2 Edo Nishiki ranchus that were listed as lionheads... rofl! I’ve only seen the tanks there in poor condition twice in the 3 years I’ve been going.

In all these years I've got to admit that a store named Aquatic Treasures is the best I've seen yet.
It is a large store dedicated to the tropical fish hobby. I'd say that half of the store is for fresh and the other for marine. Their selection of corals and invertebrates is phenomenal. Probably 20 large tanks of them, if not more. Tons of live rock and a nice selection of fish. The store seems to be family owned and the "main guy" is especially knowledgeable with a degree in biochemistry. They will not sell you anything that is in their opinion either incompatible with your tankmates or in less than perfect health.
They sell their favorite brands of supplements and equipment which is OK, because they are of high quality. Their prices are very reasonable to boot. (Review Date: 1999)
