my petsmart has like 8 chinese highfin sharks or whatever. $80 bucks each. considering most people that go to petsmart for fish are morons (i said most, not all), those fish are either going to be there forever, or for a month tops.

My LFS passes around fish they don't sell.
I have seen returned fish stay for many months.
They have a pale 6" front they have had for several months.
I would buy it for $25 bucks but it looks faded /unhealthy.:(

I see huge pacus all the time.Dirt Cheap.

This RTC lived at the store for a good year I know of...
It is not longer there.

They got this knife in the shipment !
Lady said they never had one before.
She also said they don't usually get large fish like this one.

My petsmart doesn't have any big tanks and doesn't take any fish in.

18-20" green moray.

If I had a spare 480+ gallon tank laying around it would be mine.

i see a lot of plecos over 10" at places. one LFS near me made the mistake of getting like 7 or 8 large green terrors that have been there for months. another one has fully grown oscars they can't get rid of.

My LFS is full of dozens of 12" long oscars from idiots buying them from walmart not realizing how big they get.

They've had a 8" Motoro Ray in there for a few months now and every time I go in it has managed to flip onto it's face :p
