I'm ashamed to say I live close to your store (west covina) but I've only been once... the tank in the back with the osphronemus was cool, I bought some wood for my then new 180g.

I will be visiting more...

this fish is called elopicthys bambusa, they had an article on the recent japanese magazine aqualife.

Full size they can reach 60" found in the yangtze river in China and farther up north, hardy fish, and will attack my fingers when it gets a chance, not skittish or shy at all. To my knowledge there are only two ever imported into the United States.

Once upon a time it was considered as a pest fish, because they would prey on the local "food" fish, but now they are being protected and reintroduced into several lakes and river systems, but due to the increased industrialization of China, the pollution rate is so rapid that they may never rebound. I've seen some pictures of fisherman pulling out 5 feet long specimens! I'll post some pictures up once I find them.

Its ok, I actually no longer own that store, however the new guys should get some nice rare fish if they stay in touch with me :) I will also continually be bringing in rare fish, as that is my thirst and drive to wake up, daily
