I was perusing the LFS freshwater section while I waited for the
marine guy to help me. One of the girls was netting a Pangasius cat
from one of the tanks. A Dempsey had gotten through a partition and
tore him up pretty bad. Missing one eye, most fins as well. They were
preparing to euthanize the poor *******, and I offered to take it
home, they sold it to me for a dollar. 4 inch Pang cat. I brough him
home, put him in a small tank for a week and treated him with
antibiotics. That was a month ago. He's now a member of my community
planted, and gets around rather well despite having only one eye and
NO caudal fin. Eats like a pig, though.

Very cool! Can't believe the store charged you at all, though. :D

I was a bit taken aback myself. In retrospect, being a rather large
store, they can't afford to set a precident like that. I got the
feeling they were stretching things to give it to me at all. I was
reminded several times that the normal guarantees did not apply. :)
