As per title? Picked up today as south American leaf fish, obviously an African right?
Loving these little dudes already, think they were starving in the shop as we're apparently eating flakes, so probably not eating at all!-) had one eat some earthworm and the other smaller one very interested...
Sharing the 65l with 6 black Neons and two eb gobs + a bristlenose atm.

Yea...African lead fish. Cool little guy! Good to hear it's taking flakes. Hard to get off of live food.

Supposed to be taking flakes, I wouldn't believe it myself tbh... When the owner told me I said really and he replied with they've been in there two weeks... Hmmm I know most fish can easily go 4 weeks without food so who knows.
They kinda look like mini dats!-)

Any idea on which species kno4te? After much googling I'm thinking one of the two in the title?
