Weirdest fish at an LFS

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Besides the illegal stuff the oddest was either the 26"white GG or a gulper cat. I know the gulper isn't the odd but to see in a store around here it is. and the GG is SWEET. If I ever make it back to that store I'll get a pic. he's in a 240 cube.
 
Before they closed my lfs had electric cats for a while, then a gg and a aul at the same time. Also had some stingrays and alligator gar. Oh for saltwater they had this giant emerald crab like 5 inches wide in a reef tank. W would always see it grazing but they never caught it. Oh and a squat lobster and a shark once.
 
A Crocodile or alligator idk. NO joke. It wasnt for sale.


for a fish
FW a giant gouramy, 3ft pacu, tigrinus catfish, a foot long (at least) fronsosta
SW a batfish
 
My LFS, Pet-Pourri, tends to have great oddball stuff and they will order in stuff if you ask. The weirdest thing I've seen yet was a pair of Sumatran Toads. It gave me flashbacks to Ranger Rick articles I read when I was ten. Oh, and they have these humphead glass tetras that look like beavis ands butthead. One time I saw a little snake-like fish with a triangular head and a thin body that widened toward the tail. Nobody knew what it was, they just fed it bloodworms until someone bought it. I couldn't find any info, eitherm but I didn't want a mystery fish I might not be able to house later...
 
I've seen some downright bizarre stuff at my LFS and a few others around VA.

Saltwater batfish
TSN
sparkling gouramis
Japanese dragon moray
leopard tatia catfish (I want it sooooo badly!!! But alas, no tank room)
freshwater morays
Azules peacock bass
24"+ crenicichla
stonefish
chocolate gouramis
pseudomugils (not weird, but not commonly seen in shops)
Madagascar rainbowfish
Chromidae cichlids
redtail cigar sharks/barbs
RTC
alligator gar
elephant noses
zebra knifefish
lizard catfish
cowfish

I'm sure there's more, but I can't remember everything these 3 places get. They all have excellent connections.
