4 eye fish

Those are kind of creepy looking.... like little aliens

These guys get pretty big for a live bearer, around a foot in length (11.75 inches), need atleast a 90 gallon brackish Mangrove setup.
Check out this site for compatable fish.

They don't really have 4 eyes. The deal is this: they have two eyes, but the pupil of each eye is shaped wierdly, kind of divided almost into 2 pupils for each eye, so that it can see above water and below water simultaneously. Pretty interesting, huh?

They do best in shoals, which they keep quite tight - so the bigger the tank the better this will look. They can also 'crawl' on land, so if you have a properly constructed sand bank at one side of your tank, you can feed them there. Really interesting fish
