Looks like an alien Arowana...

Those are adorable! I want one. They don't need any special care, do they? I wonder if Wet Spot has them...

Alien+Arowana+Axolotl

Weird looking but really cool!

Yah, what's the tank size?

Looks like what cows must imagine their angels look like.

Would a 5000 lumen light work?

 

[WhistlingBadger]

5 Gallon. I want one to keep my oscar company.*

*Notice: This is a joke. Do not keep oscars in a 5 gallon tank. Do not keep saltwater fish with freshwater fish. Do not keep huge, predatory, world-devouring cichlids with extremely delicate, rare, ethereal phantasms from another plane of existence.

Imagine a Japanese trench biotope. Think of all the money you'd save on lighting and plants.

Seems reasonable

No, buying the fish and equipment for that type of biotope would make up for all that

Just put on a blindfold and go outside on a really cold night. That would give you the same basic effect without all the financial outlay.

Anyway, sorry for all the silliness. Those are truly beautiful fish.

Yes, they look awesome but could never be kept in an aquarium. I'm sure that all responding know this but, at the depth found, the pressure is so extreme that they would basically explode if brought to the surface.

You would only need a tank about 6 feet long, 2 feet from front to back and about 28,000 feet tall...........
