I went into a walmart to pick up some marbles (for a craft project for my wife...) and I ALWAYS look through their tanks. They had a fish labeled as a Hybrid... now hmm... since when is a geophagus red tapajos a hybrid? I looked at it, and it had all the signs of the correct ID by me.. and I took a picture via phone and asked a couple friends and they confirmed. I then asked the employee why it was labeled as "Hybrid" and they said ebcause it came in with salvini's and oscars and it clearly wasn't one..

If it was THAT easy to make a geophagus, I would have done it years ago.. anyways I took that fish home for $2 @3". We have also gotten some electric blue rams from a walmart. They were listed as the standard ram which were $4 each. Well I got a bag of 8 for $4 because the first person who caught them didn't know how to mark the bag, and the cashier didn't care (and I clearly pointed out the mistake...)


and as far as Petsmarts go, they DO get in TRUE jaguar cats... but I have only found one between 20 stores. the little 3" was added to my group for $20 (which is what the store was selling it for...)
