Hi..saw this fish at the lfs. He said it is a new fish from Africa only becoming available now. Anyone recognize this fish or know it's classification? Sorry for the blurry pic....took it at the lfs. SH

They can grow up to 150mm. They are from India, not Africa.
 
I thought they were expensive over here but it sounds as though they are cheap compaired to what you would have to pay!

They range from £12.50- £20.00 depending on size. I seem to remember there was an article on them in either the Practical Fishkeeper mag or the Today's Fishkeeper mag the other year saying there is supposidly two types of them. One attaining 100mm and the other 150mm.

A few years back they were very rarely seen and were extremely expensive over here.
