I was looking to add some more scissor tail tetras to my shoal and noticed there was a fat 4” clown loach swimming in there display tank filled with plants. He was the largest clown loach I have ever seen at a chain store. So I asked how much are clown loaches and the manager told me they didn’t have any atm. Well I pointed to the planted tank and she told me these fish were donated to the store and everything in there was 5 bucks each. Holding back my excitement I was calm when I told her I want to give this clown loach a good home. As she was netting this loach out, I saw not one but two meaty 4”+ Denison barbs aka roseline sharks. I have never seen roseline sharks of this size for sale ever in my life. What an amazing day. I felt like I just won the lottery. Two meaty roseline sharks and a fat clown loach was therapy for me today!???
