Cool Really Cool Rare Fish.

Just searching the web when I came across this little guy. He is, for sure, an amazing fish. If I had cash I wouldn't mind spending on a fish I would buy it lol.

Paradise Threadfin 2"-3" (Polynemus paradiseus) 250 - AquaScapeOnline

They get about 8" and feed on crustaceans and small fish.

Wow. That's beautiful. As the poster mentioned above though, if it died for any reason, I would go insane.
