Anyone one know where to find Lampeye Killis ? - Aquarium Advice

I saw a group of these guys in a display tank and would love to find some of my own... I believe this type is a killifish, the only kind that schools:

Anyone have these, or know where I can find some online?

i did a search and cant even find a picture of one!

I hate fish in the display tank, they are always so much better than the ones for sale at my LFS, beautiful GBRs in the one ay my LFS, in with african cichlids, i feel sorry for them because they get beat up, i want them!!

Sorry i cant find anything, i will keep looking though, interesting fish!!

Thanks for the reply. I believe they are called "Norman's Lampeye". You should find better results in Google with the full name. I did not see any vendor either though... Of course being a killifish makes it even more obscure.... Perhaps if I contact a killifish group

Might want to try asking around on the forums of the American Killifish Association.

This was an interesting link from a couple of years ago. The AKA has a kind of confusing website, er maybe it just isn't easy enough to look up the details on a specific fish. I think I will post in their forums and see if I can find anything there.
