Late night score at my LFS

[CrunchyLobster123]

Last night 10 minutes before my LFS closes some guys brought in a styrofoam box full of fish they had been in this box for quite a few hours with no supplemental oxygen so unfortunately lost a bunch (mainly some decent sized silver dollars, and a few rasboras/tetras) but there was everything from a few tiny kuhli loaches (which you can see one beside the Raphael’s tail) to a 16 inch common pleco. For me though the main fish was a 10 inch striped Raphael:
And 12 decent sized clown loaches, with the largest being 8 inches and smallest 4.5-5 and because it was so close to closing I was able to take the whole bucket of loaches for free.

Yeah not cheap at all, another store just down the street is selling some roughly the same size for $250 a pop. The manager there was training new employees so were a bit late for closing duties and he just didn’t want to deal with it all lol.

Take heed, one does not simply come across a bucket of free loaches like that on luck alone. You may have been a celebrated martyr or hero to the downtrodden in a past life, but for whatever reason the gods have smiled upon you lol.
