So, this guy is officially the biggest pain in the ass to photograph. I've been trying for the past week, but the second he sees any movement what so ever, he darts headfirst back into his hole. So what crappy photos follow this are my efforts of sitting on a stool, stock still with my camera poised against the glass, for 30mins until he came out. lol.
Anyhow, he's kind of an interesting color, chocolate with gold pearling. Not exactly what I had imagined when I met up with a guy to do a trade for this fish, but I took him anyway. He's good size, about 5".

Beautiful fish! Although, I've never seen one w/that coloring? Real nice pick up!

Yeah, he's definately not the usual black/grey/white color mix you see with other localities. I've found some pics sorta like him using google... He is apparently a typical true "congo inkfin".

Like this guy... The photo is really dark, but it looks the same as a dark pic of my guy. This one is also labeled a "congo inkfin"

And this guy, which is even more faded and brown then mine.. Its labeled as a "Black Pectoral Congo"
