Near the cash register is a large aquarium full of lively wild-caught altum angelfish. James imported 600 of them last year when they were 2" long, and sold them for $35 each.
One of the only stores that I've seen with Altum angelfish in stock. Also he breeds his own Discus, and has quite a variety of them at a really decent price. His fish selection is on the thin side. A lot of tanks but not many fish varieties.

They are an interesting and cute fish to watch and do a good job at cleaning up after the other fish. They make a good community fish and won't scare other delicate fish like discus and altum angelfish.
