Whats wrong?

Saw this guy or gal at the pet-NO. He kinda looked unhealthy to me and smashed into the glass repeatedly until I moved away. Needless to say he's still there. Poor fish.

Don’t see anything obviously wrong with it. If active then it’s a good sign.

I think that’s a steal lol. Probably someone traded him in for rehoming. Flowerhorn ive seen are personable and will bang in glass when they see your reflection.

Looks and sounds like a healthy flowerhorn to me

Agree with everyone here. Fish looks good, it's just aggressiveness.

I'm just taken aback by the price. And that a big box store would do that.

Usually petco will do $3-10 for a rehoming. I bet if someone offered 10 or so they would take it, especially if you know the people.

But they don't know where exactly the fish came from and most of the workers wouldn't know a sick fish if it was crapping blood. If they turn around and sell a sick animal, aren't they liable?

No, they take in fish all the time and rehome them . They just donate the money to animal charities Sometimes they have knowledgeable people, the one near me as a couple of fairly experienced fish keepers there

I didn't realize my bearded dragon only had two toes on his back foot until I had him home awhile. I was gonna bring him back but he'd already captured my heart. Cute lil bastard...
