hate to mention this but if you pulled off all the fins it would look like a ..................... yea you know what

These come from fast moveing rivers, so they have evolved to lie on the bottom..if they come off the bottom they could be swept downstream. I have powerheads to add extra water movement.

lisha btw brought this up , shes always in the gutter lol i'm the innocent one ***cough** cough***

strange looking fish

Harvick...Common names include: Buffalo Head, Lion Head, Hump Head, Block Head...and now D*** Head...LMAO

wow how hard was he to find?

My LFS has them for $15 USD. They had two pair...one pair was sold over the holidays and I picked up the male of the second. I'll probably grab the female later today,now that I've seen he's well behaved and personable.

Harvick...great article

That is so cool Jerry..

That is very unusual looking fish

He isn't so aerodynamic, and he looks top heavy, I wouldn't want to swim around either. Harvick, I find it hard to believe that it's all Lisha coming up with this, lol. You left a couple pics up yesterday that I had to bite my tongue with a comment.

Never seen one of these before you posted yours.

I'm sure you could handle it. But my comments might be better left said in an email, lol.
