What is the coolest fish you have seen at petsmart or petco

[Fishnerd360]

Elephant fish but the employees at that time were experienced with fish. And a tire track eel( the one that grows 2’+).

Ahh speaking of elephant fish I also found baby whales, I got two but each one didn’t work out sadly. I wanted to do an african themed tank

I went a few weeks ago, and saw a Mastacembelus armatus, the Spiny Yellowatail Version. Zig Zag Spiny Yellowtail Eel. Also saw a Blood Parrot Cichlid. That was at PetSmart. At PetCo, I forgot what type of tang it was, but it was pretty bland, Spotted Mandarin Goby (I remember that since it was one of the prettiest fish I‘ve seen), and even a Tessolate Eel (I remember that since then, I have never seen an eel in captivity). The rarest inverts at petco: Harlequin Shrimp, A Blue Starfish (IDK what type) and a Feather Duster (TINY TINY). I know this seems like a lot of rare stuff, but go onto their website! They have a LOT!

Also they have other vibrant salt water fish, no experience with them, but they look beautiful...

On the BP comments, PetSmart sells very tiny BP, nearly one inch size, they were skinny, but dark orange! I got one two months ago and he was growing pretty good, but color turned yellowish, and not pure orange as he was when I bought him.

I am sure he wasn't dyed!!
