That is one nice looking fish.
Have you been able to get any pics? From what the profiles suggest, you won't be seeing much of those shy guys during the day.

thats a cool link, i also found that on when i first looked them up..
i'll be taking some pics soon. they are very right about them hiding all the time, took me a while to find them about 3 hours after i added them to my 55 gal, they got into the tightes wedge they could find in a root i just bought.. has anyone kept them before?

I never even heard of them before! Pretty cool looking though.

yah these guys are i guess pretty rare, the first time i heard of them was in a magazine a couple of months ago, i picked them up at an auction
this weekend for $12 for the pair, might be a while before i can take a pic of them though, unless you all want to see them jammed between either
the back glass and the intake tube for my hob, or wedged into a crack in my sinking root so far i havent seen them do much swimming, they just lay there..
