Fish the LFS can't get rid of

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
LFS near me has two silver aros that are about 2.5ft long they arent selling them individually so they want something like $3000 they have been there as long as I have been visiting the shop over a year....

Same shop always has traded back sick oscars that never get sold and just end up dying there...
 
I saw 4 thinbar datnoids at Tom's in Long Beach about 3 months ago. They were fine but then I noticed that they developed "puffy" eyes. They were medicated and the puffy eyes were fixed. They weren't blind or anything. I noticed that because I just bought two of them last Wednesday for $40 each at 3.5". Full of personality just like a datnoid should be.

I guess I waited until they were fine and good to go. I think the shop owner was happy to see them go. They let them fo at $5 discount for each fish. So I would say that it was a good deal. All their colors were white-washed at the fish place but they were immediately became stable in my tank and the black bands became much darker.
 
one has a walking catfish and 2 alligator gars that have been there for ages
another has a black pacu and a black shark - i believe these 2 are being moved into a 10000 gallon indoor pond being built in a new lfs of their chain
 
My LFS has a black aro that they haven't sold for around 6 months, and a 20" wallago that they haven't sold for around a year to a year and a half. Ultimately, I'd like to have both of them, but it's gonna take me a while to get a tank that big.
 
One of my LFS has a big Flowerhorn in a smallish tank by himself--he kills or eats anything they put in with him. He has no room to swim. He's been there at least 3 years I know of, and is just grey. Priced at $85, I guess no one wants a grey FH.
 
RTC about a foot and a half in a 2.5 foot pond. With only about 4 inches of water in it. 100 bucks.
 
LFS has had 3 frontosa since they oppened, start of 2007'ish.
 
my store constantly has needle gars that wont sell along with the chineese algea eaters ummmm those retarded tatoed fish they have now...
