What is the coolest fish you’ve seen at a LFS

Mine would probably be a Look Down or a Sting Ray. (Both were in a huge tank - my guess is around 450-500 gallons)
Of course I love Lion Fish, so that has to go on the list.
My LFS also has a huge “monster fish” tank:
(Arowana, Pacu, Flowerhorn, Oscars, etc.)

Nice! One of my favs (sadly since closed) used to have an adult Black Belt Cichlid which was absolutely stunning! They kept them with some American Tigerfish (not the Goliaths), some big Synodontis Decorus and Barred Silver Dollars and it was just a stunning tank.
One of my favorite shops had a pair of Motoro Stingrays, they were so cool. Right now they also have an adult m/f pair of Zebrina Pike. Beautiful fish!
Either the show size adult lionfish (they sold him for $300) or the big, longfinned angelfish
I am not a Salt Water fish keeper, but I have seen the Long Horned Cow Fish in an aquarium store. Very interesting fish.

The store I usually go to has this red arowana in a huge tank with some freshwater stingrays and it always catches my eye.
I love Red Arowanas!

Saw one that went for $2,500.00Tell me about it.
That’s kind of insane, usually they run for about $1k, which is still a lot of money.
Oh what I would do for a million dollars...

There used to be an aquarium shop in my town that had several very large display tanks. They had a four foot Arowana in one and a huge Piranha in another, probably a full foot long. The teeth on that Piranha were something else and that big Arowana was a sight to behold. You just have to see some of these fish in their full or nearly so sizes to really appreciate them. There was a special top on the Arowana's tank that bolted to the floor in case he got the urge to jump.

I once saw a setup that wouldn't have seemed out of place in an actual city aquarium. It contained an array of species but my favorites were probably the massive redtail cats. I was once also privileged to observe a tank containing a briareus octopus. I don't keep saltwater fish, but I've heard these octopuses can be shy during the day so I feel very lucky to have seen such activity.
Here is the tank the look down was in:
(It had a puffer and some sort of Dalmatian fish in it, as you can see)
They always have cool starfish:
They also have this saltwater section off to the side, where they have all sorts of corals/starfish/crabs:
(slowly adding more pictures I have dig through the archives, lol)
