I went to a lfs last Saturday in Cardiff and saw the biggest orange marine fish with what appeared to be a beak, I almost filled my pants. It was at that moment that I remembered why I can never go scuba diving.

I also saw Bala sharks on sale with the information tag saying ‘Small/Medium Community’,’ Good for beginners’. I bet there are at least a few people out there now with 30cm monster sharks in 15Gallon tanks.

Oh and I also saw Chain (Dwarf) loach on sale at £14 each. Expensive fish scare me!
 
The scariest thing was when the owner of the store scooped out all the dead crayfish (he said they attack each other all the time) and threw the carcasses into a tank that had these absolutely girnormous fish in it.... I'm not even sure what they are but the ensuing food frenzy made me really glad to be standing on the other side of the aisle. :look:

Sounds cool.....I got to watch a snakehead eat some goldfish today at my lfs :hey: Since they are illegal here I asked him how much it would be and he said over 250,000 us dollars to supplement the fine they would get :hyper: I then asked if he took credit/debit :lol:

Common plecos reach scary status at around a foot IMO. I know they're peaceful, but they creep me out when they're that big.

Jewelfan, that chain loach wasn't expensive, try stingrays at over $1000. :crazy: I would be terrified I'd kill it.
 
One of our moray eels where i work attacked a snakehead and ate it alive!
 
You'll have to let me know which LFS it is....

The two bronze cory's BTW are doing really well - both are in my 60gl tank now and hanging out with the upside down cat's.
 
sitting there on a night with just the tank lights.on a 5x2x2 when the front fell of whoooos
and the house was flooded and i was running around with a bucket and a net
now that's scary :hyper:
 
red tailed catfish and a lung fish for sale as community fish
cant say which shop but its well known in teesside for its
big fish cock ups
 
I was intrigued to know what a snakehead actually looked like so I went on YouTube. They are rather quite beautiful fish but awfully aggressive. There are a lot of sickos out there who keep them in tanks and film them fighting with other aggressive fish just for kicks. These people need to get a life, its disgusting.
 
The crayfish story is really cool. I think I would have liked to see that!

The freakiest things I've ever seen in one of my lfs' is a huge albino something or other that was missing an eye. It wasn't recent damage, probably lost it when it was a much smaller fish. There was a bubble eye goldfish with only one bubble... both very creepy.

As for scary, well, people buying fish that they have no clue how big they get, and don't know how big their tank at home is! I tried convincing someone not to get another goldfish for their 10 or 20 gallon tank (they didn't know which it was, and wouldn't believe me on how big goldfish get), but would they listen?
