Just saw these fish the other day for the first time.......and being one to like the unusual fish......I like em! partly because they just seem to remind me of an angry old man (go on look at their faces)

can anyone give me some info on them.....special needs, compatible fish ,

are they rather rare here in N.Z., or have I just had my eyes closed too long...(oh yeah, and a possible current cost wouldn't go a miss either)

Thanks all,

ChrisMack

They aren't that common, there are a couple lfs here that have had them. Cost could be anywhere between $10 and $25, depending on the shop. We got ours for $10 at about 6-7cm, which I thought was quite a good buy (the lfs were selling it as a 'goby', don't think they knew much about it). They do seem quite aggressive. We put ours in with some electric yellows and blue lumpheads and he was much more aggressive than them. He is now living with some convict cichlids and seems to be holding his own quite well.
