who has seen a really rare fish at a pet store

Has anyone ever see a really rare or exotic fish they never saw anywhere else at a fish store. I'm just curious, tee hee, cuz lfs and pet stores seem to get that once in a while

 

My lfs currently has a Freshwater Stingray! Not really a fish but super cool.... ;D They usually have one or another unusual or expensive fish.

 

wow cool, I was at this familt run fish store about three years ago, and they had this hugs tank with a turkey fish in it. Actually I think this fish is classififed as a exotic animal that's not supposed to be for sale


ps..I made a new topic about the same by accident so moderators might want to get rid of it

 

nobody else..really?

 

wow that's a lionfish (I think)! they have poisonous spines but they look totally awesome...

 

I got a lfs near me and they have giant circular reef aquarium which holds 2 white tip sharks. pretty cool. not for sale though I don't think. they also have a moray eel, as well as some stingrays, didn't give a species name though, they had just got there and weren't for sale yet

edit: spelling

 

stongray or stingray?

 

When they were first aloud to be sold, the Humphead Glass fish. really neat looking thing that I really wanted but had no room for. :'(

Why don't they sell the humphead glass fish anymore..they look small...fish are so cool you could see a different one everyday for the rest of your life

 

I keep more strains of guppy here, than are available at any store within a few states area.

An LFS near my home that is run by a privately owned store (vs. PetCo or Pet Smart) Has an Arrowanna. It's scary looking but cool.

 

Oh yeah my lfs corrently has an Arowana too. He's pretty cool ;D

 

My lfs have pretty much everything between the bunch by me, stingrays, aro's, flounders, nurse sharks, frogfish, lionfish and other rarieties.

 

There is a lfs in Nashville TN that always has freshwater stingrays, aros, redtailed cats, a few sharks, and they have a large reptile room which includes camen.
