Anyone know anything about these? A shop I was in today had one for $39.99. All the guy could tell me about it (actually all I actually believed) was that it's freshwater and will eat blood worms, black worms, and live fish. I take it the feeding info came from what he's been feeding it since he recieved it. I did a search on yahoo and couldn't find anything. Not about what I saw today anyway. Anyone know the scientific name for it?

If you've never seen one it's blue-ish in color with a silver underside. It's body is shaped like a shark (real shark). It has small eyes on the top of its head and a mouth like a real shark, minus the teeth. It looked like it had skin instead of scales. Really cool looking fish actually.

Maybe worth a purchase for my freshwater 75 since the oscars are getting big and are going to be moving to the indoor pond when they get around 8"...

Any info would be very helpful. I don't want to buy it without knowing anything about it. All I know now is that I've never ever seen one before.

Nevermind... I found out what it was. A Cetopsis Catfish... Or Whale Catfish...

I saw it once over the summer, priced the same. Heard it borrows through their prey. Was going buy it as a tankmate for my arrow but decided against it.
Please let me know the progress.
