I went to a local pet store (one of the major chains) and bought a Red Cap
Oranda and an Orange Fantail recently.

Goldfish:
Red Cap Orandas retail for $2.99
Orange Fantails retail for $3.49

Feeder fish:
Some retail for $0.12 each
Others retail for $0.29 each

Couple of days later, I saw a worker moving a goldfish from the goldfish tank
to the feeder fish tank.
Did the price for that particular goldfish decrease by 90% in just 10
seconds?
I notice some other Orandas and Fantails in the feeder fish tank.
Why did they do this?

Should I have waited for the "price drop" instead of paying full price?



Probably making way for new stock... ;-)

Now that you know, you can wait next time as long as you don't mine
buying "leftover". I know I'd not mind!

I've never seen fantails in the feeder tanks! Wow.
Orandas in a feeder tank sound like a mistake??? :-(

Yea, For some reason I always have to check the feeder tanks while I am
at any fish store even though the conditons they are kept in make me
sick. Such beautiful fish with a great amount of personality to be
treated the way they are just sickens me. Anyway, I have never seen
any fancy goldfish in a feeder tank ever....it has to have been a
mistake.
