Today I went into my local petco which i think is allright, its one they just built near here and is way newer than the one in fayetteville, anyway so Im looking at the fish they have and I spy a new one they have and it looks really cool!
However to my dissapointment there was no tag in front of it, just a sku # on a piece of paper with the name "High Finned Gandes" scribbled on it and nothing else, not even a price. So I tell the dude to find out a price and he tells me its $49.00 and thats all they knew about it. So I was like it figures and not ever seeing one before i did not buy it. Later when I got home I started researching it and after about an hour found out it was called a Chinese Sucker fish and that it could get almost two feet!! And needed a varied diet of algea and plants to live. This kind of thing ticks me off about pet stores and I had to look hard to find info about it because the name they gave it was soo far off and the normal person would not have cared that much to look that far into it. And I also found it on a fish website for sale for $25.00 to boot. So tomorrow im going to go back up there with a care and info sheet and give it to them because they had two in there and I don't want some idiot to go in there and get it just because its expensive and whatever. There Im Done Now.
