Another Visit to the Fish Store

in Hive Pets2 years ago (edited)

I had to go to the aquarium store again to sell off some extra plants I had in my tank at home.

This store has quite a rotation of various aquarium pets like this strange green axolotl.

I have seen many different colors of axolotls over the years but never a jade green colored one before.

Look at this strange salt water abomination lol. I didn't take note of this fish's name but it is one of the weirdest ones I've ever seen.

This is a new sight for me, a saltwater platy.

They also had a black one. I always thought platys were only freshwater. These saltwater ones are a bit larger than their freshwater counterparts.

This store is moving up, they now have stingrays for sale. You would need a really large shallow tank to keep them though.

Here is a baby alligator gar, it may look cute at just under a foot long but these guys get super huge. I would imagine it would need a lake to survive at full size.

Here are some curious looking cichlids, very smart and watchful for food.

The crustacean tank had a strange shrimp in it along with some tiny hermit crabs that were hiding behind the coral.

Here are some bala sharks, a medium sized freshwater fish that have shark-like features.

These are some large cory catfish. I'm not sure their exact name or how large they grow.

Look at these strange fellows hiding out in a pvc pipe.

These are called fire eels because of their bright stripes. They aren't actually a true eel but a really long freshwater fish. Their faces kind of remind me of a dog.

That's all for now, who knows what might be at the store next time I go.

Thanks for looking :-)
