Hi all,
Thought I'd start a thread on unusual fish. What's the strangest fish you've ever kept? Or, because I know a lot of us are conservative when it comes to fish: what's the weirdest fish you're thinking about buying?
I've had a Polypterus Senegalus Meridionalis, a Merionalis Senegal Bichir. Here's a pic, for those of you who don't know bichirs:

I loved him dearly (he only had one eye) , but I had been told I was getting another, smaller species (Polypterus palmas), and had to eventually give him back to the LFS. He would have grown to 70cm...
I'm thinking about going crazy and getting a Stone Fish. Apparantly, there are some species which live in FW. But I need to gather more information about them before I get serious... Like, um, that they're incredibly venemous!
Please contribute!
