Weirdest fish at an LFS

[SimonL]

a 3600 dollar tang. I forget the type but the guy said it was one of only 5 exported from its specific location in 10 years, something along those lines.

Gem Tang, Zebrasoma Gemmatum, I presume.

2x4' arapiamas(possibly bigger), 2x3' RTC, 1x3 1/2' tsn, 4x1 1/2' diameter pacus. Didnt expect to see those at my LFS. Also i have seen an octopus, i am not even joking.

I've seen the octopus.
I've seen a toucan.
Adult oscars.
And they have a black ghost knife in a 55 that's nearly as long as the tank.

A 55 is either 3 or 4 feet long...that would be the largest BGK ever recorded...

Yeah..I agree ^ ^ ^

as long as it doesn't have to be fish, the weirdest thing i have ever seen at my LFS would be the 3 foot crocodile (have a pic) and the yellow anaconda (also have pic)

A couple of the odder things I've seen in lfs' are bioluminescent (glow in the dark) Japanese pinecone fish and bioluminescent headlight fish. I've also seen live chambered nautilus of varying sizes.

I saw a remora, upside down jelly, barracuda, to name a few

weirdest fish for sale would have to be tilapia (i live in miami), freshwater stignrays ( i believe also illegal), motoros (illegal?), jelly fish, octupus (dont know what kind, red i think), and one store had a 3ft black tip shark for $3,000 ....it was sold

weirdest non fish things, kinkajous, skunks, provost squirels, monkeys...all kinds, crocodiles, alligators, and well the king of them all...my local pet store sells zebras.
