The Mega Pet Shop..it's HUGE!

  Today, my dad brought my sis and I to this HUGE pet shop. It's a whole warehouse converted into a

pet shop, selling mostly fish and other pets. I really love this place because every time I go there ,

there are really interesting fish or something. They have tiny white mice, sugar gliders, naked mole

rats, rabbits, an array of lizards, squirrels, snakes and birds. They even have a huge raccoon and a

weird little monkey that will urinate on your shoes if you get too close. The only thing I hate about

the shop is that some of the cages are inappropriate for the animals. The poor raccoon has been there

for over a year and it's in a metal cage with bars and it doesn't have a flat surface to step on.It's foot

must really hurt. Poor guy..we're thinking of reporting

  He's really sweet. If you walk pass him, he'll try to grab you. He grabbed my sister's shoe and

wouldn't let go.I wish they would cover the bars on the bottom of the cage with a plank or something.

  On a lighter note, check these cheerful bunch of fishies out. I used to keep pairs of these yellow guys

 and they are super active! And territorial too but great fun to keep :)

  These are Electric Yellow Cichlids or Labidochromis caeruleus. As you can tell by now,  it's part of the Cichlid family.

  I also saw other varieties of Cichlids in the shop. I really love their bright colors and the way they

zip around like bullets

Malawi Golden Cichlids(Pseudotropheus Auratus)

I think these are Buttikoferi Cichlids, some people call them Zebra Tilapia but I'm not very sure.Still

they're kinda cute eh?

  The Blue Jack Dempsey or Electric Blue Jack Dempsey. These are just babies and are about a few weeks old. They can grow up to 8 or 10 inches long so don't but them if you don't have enough space for them. Here's a nice bit of trivia..this little fish was named after this guy

 

Jack Dempsey the heavyweight boxer

I really have no idea what these are, maybe some kind of paddlefish?

Can you spot the sturgeon?

The armoured bichir/banded bichir or polypterus delhezi from the Congo

Here's the weirdest thing I saw though.Not because it's rare but what the hell is it doing in a

tank?!Supposedly it's a salmon,according to the label on the tank but I doubt it

Wonder what it is though..

These are, according to the label, hypopomus arlydi but don't think that's even a real name. No idea

what they are but they sure cost a bomb, RM38 a fish

One of the tanks with artificial coral :)
