rare fish in your lfs

very carefully...

(tickle stick and a net)

"Rare" fish dealers hate divers, will leave it at that. -

 

a garibaldi and cheap to boot

 

If your talking about The Aquarium Showroom those are around 2' and 3' Currently they have some baby Bonnet Heads (sharks), now those are cool

 

Russo's Reef (Wholesaler) specializes in rare and hard to find. He gets Africa in quite often. PM for info if you want.

 

no fish story...I caught a 4 and a half foot bonnet head on 20lb test Shakespeare rod with the stock "cajun" line. Hand lined him in after 3 hours while I was wading. Scared me half to death when he came close and I found out it was a shark. (I thought it was a snook - )

 

That's awesome! How's he doing in your tank? Is he eating yet?

 

oo from bay area huh? I never seen anyone from bay area yet, yay.
Ya that aquarium show room is really nice!!! amazing job! Im planning on going by again today =D

Also if you visited king aquarium, they got pretty big shark there too =p
but ya i meant the aquarium show room

 

Everytime we go on our trips out to the fish stores in raleigh we see a smaller panther grouper than the last time we went out there. Last time it was less than an inch long, so tiny! I dont know how rare these are but my LFS keeps getting in orange frogfish for some reason. One time we did see a Nautilis (sp?) and a Baracuda at Aquatica once. Majestic Reef in town has a small octopus that laid eggs. We've seen sharks but idk what kinds so idk if they were rare or not lol.

 

i seen damsel at my lfs! now those are rare! xD

 

I saw a HUGE damsel once, it confused me rofl. I didn't know they got that big!
