So as I was perusing through my lfs that at I have not been to for a very long time, I noticed a fish about 1.5 inches long and knew what it was instantly. It was the fish I have longed for and have searched for since I began the hobby-a green sunfish. The little guy is so cute and hes already settling in. The lfs owner said they are feeding him "basic" flakes, but I'm going to give him small pellets and some of those vegetable enhanced crisps. It was also mislabeled as pumpkinseed, which doesn't make a huge difference, but I'm still happy :). He(or she, we'll have to wait and see till it gets bigger) is already my favorite fish I have ever owned. MAN! I'm so excited :nilly: He's currently in my 30g, though I plan on moving him to the 10g when I free it up. Here are some pics, though not the greatest ;)

There were also two amazing alligator gar there, and I thought it was cool because I've never seen one.

i would say you didnt get scammed because LFS are not suppose to sell native fish. unless they have a special license.

I am aware of that, but I wasn't about to make a fuss about it after finding this hidden treasure
