Sorry I don't have pics, but at my lfs, there was a small white fish with black spots, that was labled as spotted leaf fish. It looks like a leaf fish to me, but I've never heard of a leaf fish like that. What is it?

Nope, it was definetly the natural coloration, the background color was pure white. Not because of stress.

It works a lot better if you can show us a picture.

It could have been the above, a leopard bushfish, Ctenopoma, or it could have been a true leaf fish Monocirrhus polyacanthus, although I have never seen a spotted leaf fish.

Yes, that's it. Can anyone provide info on these guys? Could they live in a 10g? Thanks.

The spotted or leopard ctenopoma is a slow growing ambush predator that likes clen water and well planted tanks, they are not active and will live okay in a 10g if it is a specimin tank
