Why am I browsing a fish forum at 2am?
Well, I like when other people's stupidity works out to my advantage
. I went to a new lfs today and they had a lot of rare and exotic fish, even some that I had never seen before. Lots didn't have ID tags and so I wasn't going to buy anything I didn't know about. Then I saw these guys. Just three darting around with some Apistos and other fish I had never seen in my life.
I ask the guy cleaning "How much for the glowlights?"
$1.99.
"WHAT?!?!?!" I'm thinking he thought I meant tetras. So I say, "The danios?"
And he goes, ya.
So I'm like, "
" So I get the lady to bag me some fish and I said, "These are a $1.99 right?"
And she's like, no.... and that was it.
"Welllll how much are they?"
I don't know, this is the special tank and everything in here is usually expensive.
"Damn
"
Let me go look it up.
So I stayed quiet because I knew the lady had no freaking clue what they were
and 7 minutes later after shuffling through papers she comes back with the owner who also has no clue what they are and goes, $2.99. So I'm like, "
" trying to contain the joy and not laugh at these people. Then the stupid lady drops one on the floor and it's flopping around the store for like a minute and a half before she catches it
, but he's okay. So I got 3 for $9 which I think is pretty good considering you can't really find them anywhere... EVER...
They have really good color and markings but my camera sucks.
More pictures tomorrow when they color up a little bit more, they were still in the bag for these photos. Even though they aren't at full color here my mom still thought they were dyed
Then I found him at Petco and I was like, "
" I had to take his picture without flash because he shows up green.
