Not sure if there are many that like such species.. but oddballs are my favorite. :)
This is one of my treasure : One delicate species that I managed to keep it for more than a year.

Thanks guys, I am glad that you guys shared the same excitement as I do in species like this.
Sid S, This fish is abt 7 to 8-inch TL.
vyastk, What is the size of your fish now ? what sort of water parameter do you keep it in ?
hems, Ya, they can be found in India as well but I believed my fish came fm Thailand or Indonesia.
Seetharam, Yes indeed. I always get lots of responds after posting images of this fish. That's why I called it "the ultimate oddball" !! 
beta, Thanks for posting the link. Now you just reminded me to do the update on the news section. |
