I was in Petco the other day, just wandering while my friend shopped, and browsed the fish. I noticed an odd little guy in the jack dempsey tank. So I went and got the mandatory employee.
The guy tried to tell me that all the JDs in the tank were actually jaguar cichlids because they were "light." So of course, I corrected him, explaining most fish can change color when they're stressed. He was like, whatever.
So I asked to get the little oddball. Employee was annoyed I wanted THAT ONE. Then he was trying to tell me that it was good that I bought a "jag" because JDs were insane and got huge.
Turns out I got a juvie nicaraguense! :grinyes: I was going to go buy one at Petland. I just used all my luck for the rest of the year.
The only mystery is how the little guy landed in Petco in the first place. Lucky little guy too!
