In the late '90s, Royal Clown Loaches used to be fairly common in Seattle area Petsmarts. In hidesight, I wished I'ld set up a tank for them as an investment.

I work at petsmart and personally hate the fish we carry. However, the Brown Knifes and Senegals are pretty cool. Word is we're going to be having a promotion going on soon where we carry a bunch of oddball fish for a few months. Hopefully it's over priced so when it goes on clearance i can hop right on it 
I've seen some really cool fish in multiple chain stores I've seen the following at a petco and a pet supply's plus as well as a petsmart:
Discus (I'm not joking)
Large Angelfish
German blue Rams
"Balloon" Rams
Silver arowana
Jardini arowana
African butterfly fish
Clown knife fish
Black ghost knife fish
Brown African knife
Elephantnose fish
Baby whales
Clown loaches
Fire eels
Tire track eels
Zig zag eels
Rope fish
Senegal bichir
Large silver dollars
Spotted silver dollars
Leopard bushfish
Albino and regular Tinfoil barbs
Fairly large Humphead glass fish
Congo tetras
Pictus
Raphiel cats
buenos aires Tetras
Monos (Sebae/Argentus)
Green Scats
Ruby Scats
Freshwater morays
Green spotted puffers
Figure 8 puffer (labeled green spotted puffer)
Violet gobys
Red belly pacu
Red tail cats
Tiger Shovelnose cats
Tiger Shovelnose hybrids
Colombian sharks
Featherfin catfish
Paradise fish
Cool varieties of beta
Bala Sharks
Banned Leporinus
Redtail Sharks
Multiple pikes
Flowerhorns
Midas
Jaguar cichlids
Red Devils
Red bay snook
Jack Dempsey
Electric blue jacks
Rainbow cichlids
Convicts
Oscars
Electric Blue acara
Blood parrots
Large African clawed frogs
And even "mud puppies"
Idk that's all I can think of right now I feel like I've seen pretty much everything in chain stores it's just that 1 out of every 20 chains is worth going to but you never know which ones until you try them out. I'm waiting for the day I go in to find something really cool in one for one of my own tanks like a ray or another aro!! I personally bought the jardini when I saw him and I might get a fire eel if they have any next time I'm in the area and stop in.
