Weirdest fish at an LFS

[Angel51087]

probably a 20(ish) inch Walking Catfish in the sump. He;s totally awesome and huge! The other LFS has a 24 inch Black Pacu in the sump called Bertie.

I was shocked to find a Silver Arowana and a RTC in a LFS. I've just never seen them before in shops before I visited that place.

Upside down african catfish, aligator gar, ~16"RTC, small TSNs. I was shocked to see any of them.

why were you shocked to see upside downs? (not meaning to sound that dumb but they dont get huge...dependin on species or was it a large species ...answered on question really now...hmmm)

 

[dreadfish04]

not really weird but we had a piranha come in a order of silver dollers...dunno how he got there...but he bit me and killed all but 4 dollars...cos i twigged why they were dying...that was the first time i saw a piranha, lol he now lives in the sump and eats fish that get sucked in the overflows...what a happy life

I just found a shop in my area with a 3ft arrowana ($600) and a motoro ray in the same tank. About 20 different pleco species. Fire eels. A 2ft irredescent shark, freshwater moray eels, a chaka chaka cat, TSN x RTC hybrids (they stock them... not special order which is how any of the other shops get them).

So far I've bought from them:
LOTS of driftwood
1 - Leprocanthis (sp?) - L264 - Sultan Pleco
1 - King Tiger pleco - L066
1 - TSN x RTC hybrid
1 - Fire eel

On the waiting list for a Royal Pleco...
