MORE feeder bycatch

This time...Tiger Barb. a 2 1/2'' Tiger Barb was in with the rosy reds! It had 1 eye. If you wanna tell my I can't ID a Tiger Barb, well then...
anyway, the employee said it's not supposed to be there but will be there till someone "takes it out." Bahh.

you see all kinds of stuff with feeders, especially with feeder guppies, everything from natives (flagfish, killies) to stuff like small Oreochromis

I've got a school of Lucania goodei thanks to my LFS's feeder shrimp tank. I've also seen Fundulus seminolis, Etheostoma fusiforme, lots and lots of Gambusia holbrooki, Ameiurus natalis, Lepomis cyanellus, L. marginatus, L. macrochirus, and various crayfish and snails as feeder 'contaminants'.

i dont understand why you were angry about tiger barb with rosy barbs? 2 1/2 inch sounds like full grown adult, I wont be surprised if some fish farm sometimes add their old breeders along with their orders. I once found 4 inch long highfin corydora and 4 inch long wag platy, both come with albino corydora and mickeymouse platies. Remember the fish raised outside in the ponds.

Rosy reds (feeders) not rosy barbs.



Saw a bala shark come in with small comets once, it wasn't doing to well.

I have 2 female Gambusia Affins from the Rosy Red tank. Last week there was an albino Gourami in the same tank. But wow...Plecos, Gobies, Tricolor Sharks...great finds!!
MN Rebel, they were Rosy REDS, which are feeder fish (Fathead Minnows.)

I know i misread, but are you sure it was ALBINO gourami? I bet it was just white gourami as there are no pink eyes gourami existed. I wont be surprised about plecos as most lfs like to spread plecos in different tanks just like my lfs.

Next time you are there dunk your head in the tank and grab the fish in your mouth!
