Three times I have found a fish I have wanted at Petsmart and said the same thing, I'll wait a few days or a week and if it's still there.... Yeah, I went back and kicked myself because the fish was sold - and it's worse when the girl in the fish department knows you and then says, you should have bought him, a guy came in with a 5 year old and she just had to have that fish, they bought a 10 gallon tank but refused to buy a filter for it because it was too expensive.....
