Surprise at petsmart

First topic message reminder :




Lol i was shocked I didn't know they carried these kind of fish : /

I stopped at one of the stores in s. ft worth area last week and they had the trophs, fronts, and red texas. Checked my local store earlier this week and they had three types of trophs (no duboisi in stock at either though), demasoni, cyno afras, fronts, rams, red texas, julidochromis, and flowerhorns. I bought a leleupi at a petsmart about 15 years ago....never seen them since and I thought that was exotic at the time.

They only had 3 of the trophs of each type so it seems buying them would be a recipe for disaster as I have always heard to purchase them as large colonies or the risk of losing added fish is really high.
