Good deals from mislabeled fish?

[ice blue]

I once got an albino red top zebra for 2.99 because the guy at the register repeatedly typed the number on the bag wrong. So hr just charged out as a gold fish lol. Has anything similar to this happen to anyone?

There used to be a store here that was famous for either mislabeling fish.They also would hold multiple different species in a tank and the employees sometimes didn't know which was which.

I used to get bristlenose plecos from petsmart for a buck when they first got them in and didn't know what they were. They just sold them as small common plecos and they went on sale for a buck all the time.

off topic but I also got a guy from petco to sell me $9.99 anubias attached to driftwood as $1.99 anacharis several times.

I bought peacock gudgeons as killifish for 1.99$. Funny thing is, I was the 1 who first thought they were killifish.. and I convinced the employees that they were.....

I got a Vieja Argentea that was labeled Synspilum. Not a great price but mistake by lfs. I tried telling them but they said I was wrong.

I would think an argentina would cost more?

Not mislabeled but I got a free flowerhorn beacause it was sick, thanks to the help of some other MFKs I healed it... it is a cool addition to my 120 only problem is I might have to move some other fish out when they are adults so the tank isn't packed...
