Went to my lfs to put an order in for a small wolf fish about 3 inches. Walked over to the tanks that were getting freshly delivered fish put in. 2 of the containers were marked lung. So i opened it up and saw 2 15 inch lungfish not sure which type but they were sweet. I then opened the other container and there it was... It was a ATF about 4 inches. I asked for pricing and was shocked. The 2 lungfish were $15 each and the ATF was $20. I thought about trading in all my fish except for the ck and jd to get the lung and the wolf i ordered... Probly not a good idea but i did think about it.
 
I guess you just never know what you'll find at your local fish store. I went to mine this last weekend. They had a 1-2 inch Marble Sailfin Catfish and a 1-2 inch Tig. I wanted to buy them on the spot but better judgment kicked in.
 
I totally would have bought the tig, i need to work on my impulse buying lol :)
 
a local fish store in my area was just trying to get me to take home an order that never got picked up. a 8 inch "freshwater" lionfish. they tried to tell me that itll be fine in freshwater and thats what they had it in. its was a cool find but i dont have a brackish tank set up anymore. and i didnt wanna slowly kill the poor thing. thats the only reason i didnt get him.
