Denny and I made the rounds to the various shops today. Petco Fayetteville had a fish I haven't seen in shops before, the humphead glassfish (
Parambassis pulcinella). This glassfish is freshwater, not brackish. They had them on sale, half price at $12.49 each, so not cheap, but very cool. They are a good two inches long, as well.
Here's a Practical Fishkeeping article on them:

Uh... it doesn't. I must've been thinking about WUW when I filled in the subject. D'oh! It is now fixed.
WUW does have a cool anglerfish. It almost makes me want to set up a saltwater tank. The fish looked like a white sponge when I saw it a week or so ago. Today, it looks like a black sponge. And it's always happy to whip out its fishing lure. Pretty cool.
