Anybody know what this is?

I was at a Ripley's aquarium when I saw this. I'm guessing its probably a juvenile of some species or other, but it sure is a beauty. It's 5-6" nose to tail tip.

Get 6 of them, they do best in large groups... Especially in small tanks :debi:

Thanks for the link. I watched the whole video last night. That is one impressive system!

OK, so its a little big for a 55, but its still a beautiful fish, even at full size.

Don't be silly. No more than two. They need room to turn around.
