So I went to visit a store today and I saw a tank with what looked to be about thirty Rhaphiodons,[they were sold as Sabertooth Barracudas] ranging in size from one to three inches.This store also has a tank full of one inch Datnoids which makes me think that maybe someone somewhere is breeding these and other fish because Iwould think that these types of shipments come in to stores all over the country and I wonder if the wild populations can keep up with this kind of harvesting. This place also had some good looking Peacock Bass at two different sizes.

We are talking about the both of them ,and they were deffinately not the Wolf Herring,I have had one before and I have Rhaphs now and the Wolf Herring would never have cost as little as these fish cost.Its just scary to see soo many of them for sale in tanks as both of these fish arent exactly prolific breeders like convicts or neon tetras. Wolf Herring dont have visible fangs by the way.
