So I had been looking around all day for some large silver dollars to go in my new 125. Visited 2 LFS and a Petco and found none. Finally went to Petsmart and found a couple. I was about to get the SD's when I see this kid point to a 3" Midas. "daddy I want that one!". My first though was here we go I bet the kid has a 10 gallon. Turned out they had a 55 so I thought whatever. So the petsmart dude fishes the Midas out and drops the fish on the floor, completely misses the little box. Then while bagging the fish, drops it AGAIN!! So this fish gets bagged and the kid then decides he doesn't want it because it had been dropped (don't blame the kid at all). So I step in and tell the guy I'll take it for $3 he agrees. So I made off with a 3" $3 Midas. Hope this little guy survives. Here he is with my GT checking him out. sorry for the crappy cell pic. Hopefully he gets more color with proper diet.

lulz he thinks he owns the tank right now. Wait till my Jag pops out from his little cave.
how big is your jag?
 
Jag is maybe just a tiny bit smaller than the midas. And he just decided to pop out and say hi to the midas. Midas is now sulking in the corner.
