Dec 20, 2006 #7 R rmorgan Aquarium Advice Apprentice Joined Dec 11, 2006 Messages 21 I just found one also. Dont have access to a pic at the moment, but can get one later if the description is not enough. It is 1.5 inches long, both tips are orange and the middle is grayish. It looks like it has hair down its back.
