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

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Amatitlania nanolutea
Unfortunately this was before I had a tank for them, either way I got my pair for the same price so I don't feel like I missed out
 
Petsmart was senegal bichirs and leaf fish, both of which mine stopped carrying. Hard to say for petco, I’ve seen an african brown knive which I got, Ropefish which I also got, ornate bichirs, and a few other things maybe but it shows that the rarest thing they can get in are uncommon things.

Today the manager of the Petco near me said she could special order fish for me. I purchased 4 Electric Blue Jack Dempsey for $19.99 a piece. First time ever seeing them there.
 
I heard someone in my petco talk about bringing in a black tang but it didn’t happen.
 
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!
