Lets try to stay on topic. I don't want this to turn into a thread where we rip on uneducated owners or employees.
I was just looking for just wacky fish facts almost.
Like (if it still exists) the megalondons tooth is said to reach up to 6 inches.

Its on topic. It was a simple single reply to a post minutes before dubs Some lfs employees are good and some not so but again theyre buinesses first so trusting everything they say is questionable.


Megalodon didn't earn its name "giant tooth"for nothing. The teeth of this prehistoric shark were over half a foot long, serrated, and heart-shaped (by comparison, the biggest teeth of a Great White Shark are only about three inches long). You have to go back 65 million years--to none other thanTyrannosaurus Rex--to find a creature with consistently bigger choppers, though the canines of some*saber-toothed cats*also measured up.
