LOL! Desperate Marketing Scheme

[Juxtaroberto]

I didn't know if this was appropriate in the General Aquaria Discussion forum, so I'll just put it here.

I went to Tong's today, and I saw the same Chinese Hillstream Loaches that they've had for weeks now. I guess they're not selling? So in a desperate attempt to get people to buy them, you know what they did?

They simply renamed them "U.F.O. Plecos". LOL! I must have looked like a freak cracking up in the middle of the fish aisle.

lol? did it work?

I actually think it's working! There were only 4 or 5 left!

whats the price?...

It was something like $4.99. You know, if you want to make yourself more credible, at least bump the price up for something as rare and unheard of as the UFO pleco!
