i thought i remembered seeing this fish, but i owned one b4 and it was lame....(if was the same)

i couldnt find any info on this cynopotomus....

ill get some pics up of the cynos, but im hoping to get them into a 180 gallon and see if they do better....

I dug for the threads. They are not on this sight. Gs where supposed to be around a foot. I'm checking into them. I think there's someone across seas that has a Cynopotumus housed with an Armatus. We need him to chime in.

Cynopotamus atratoensis

Now I can not confirm weather or not these are the same species as what Shark Aquarium brought in. There are 2 species of Cynopotamus and it appears they are even funner than Armatus/Tat I.D.ing.
