So I was on my way home last night late after work and remembered I needed bird seed and stopped into the first pet store I saw. It happen to be a run down looking Petsupermarket. Now usually any type of place like this in my area the fish are just in terrible condition, overcrowded, bad water, dead fish or ick. So I make sure to never buy fish from them. But I'll be damned, not only where the tanks in halfway decent shape. They had fish that I've never seen at a chain store. Dovii, Carpintis, Jags, Midevils, and couple others. My jaw about hit the floor. I was just wondering if this was more common by anyone else? And just wanted to share my shock. Please delete if this isn't allowed in this section.
 
There is petco here that carries some oddballs I've never seen at chain stores either. The fish manager actually knows his stuff too. Theyre far and few between but they exist haha
 
I just couldn't believe it. All the chains by me have the exact same fish list almost verbatim. Angels, goldfish, tetras, guppies,a African cichlids ect ect, usually the only C/A-S/A's are an Oscar or two and maybe a jack Dempsey.
 
No I didn't, they didn't really have any super stunning fish, they where all juveniles. 1-3 inches. But just the fact that they had them blew me away.

Yeah, it's a big chain store here in Florida. Usually they don't have very healthy fish. And they always have the same fish. Never anything good. The manager at this one must be into fish because they had alot of less common things.
 
There's a Petco by me that sells Pbass all the time, and regularly carry silver arros, discus, jags.......and the occasional exodons, red-tail cat and pacu
