My LFS apperently had a "Water Cow" for sale. I didn't see it myself but my friend saw it. He said it looked like a freshwater manatee. It was about a foot long and they didn't have a price on it. I was wondering if anyone has heard about these or has any info. I tryed a google search and didnt find anything.

Google apparently doesn't have it cached anymore either. I'll see if it's in my temporary internet files.

Actually, it does, but rjl420's post didn't complete the link. Here it is, in its entirety:

Just cut and paste his. AC's formatting doesn't like the link name.

Looks like one of the larger gobies. Try "sleeper gobies" or "jade gobies".
I have seen them. In fact, my lfs has one right now. He had two, then sold one. They are pretty neat. I don't know much about them though.
