fish identification

[Aqualung]

Please take a picture! You have me curious as well, I can't think of anything that matches your description. Take a few pictures, and don't use the flash. Take some close up, and some from farther away......it usually takes a few pictures to get one decent one. I'm sure we can tell you what it is from a pic, even if it's a little bit blurry.

Thanks for everyone's help finding out what the mystery fish is. Good thing I did not buy it.
