I was only going to buy fish food and cat litter, I swear!
But I walked past the for-adoption kitties, as usual, and then I took a detour past the fish tanks. PetSmart - at least the one in my neighborhood in Houston - is not going to carry these particular fish any more (don't know if that means the type, size, or what....evidentally they are not big sellers ?? ).
Anyway, I couldn't believe when I saw the large (2"-3") orandas and several other types of goldfish, at big mark-downs. They had red-and-white, red-and-black, and calico orandas, for $3-$3.50, and other types and sizes of goldfish, all really marked down. Some of the more expensive were $7-$12, but that's still a savings over their regular price. They even had some of those goggle-eyed ones that look like they have sacks of water around their eyes - for $2!
I didn't get one of those - didn't seem like it would be hardy in my pond, trying to keep up with the less-emcumbered fishies, and dodging 'coons and cats. But I did get a couple of orandas. They're about as big as some I've had for a couple of years!
