But you will laugh at some one else because they have seen a fish before you have. LMFAO
You need to get off your high horse dude, no one was laughing at you. The name "high fin black ghost knife" was the funny part, well...until you decided to act like a child anyway.
I didnt see the humor because thats what the name of the fish were. And thats just what they look like a high fin black ghost knife so forgive me if i didnt get the joke.
Yeah, LFS will give weird names to fish to grab attention/sell fish. Subscribed. Looking forward to the pictures.

its just because it's such an oxymoron, I've never even seen the dorsal fin of a BGK. It's as if something was marketed as a Dwarf Arapiama or short body pike cichlid.
(note I made these up on the spot and know they don't exist)
Believe me i know but this one actualy fit because thats just what they look like. Wish i knew they were unknown like this i would have bought some they were only $29.99
these are just the ones most readily available to people, there are almost 200 species though between salt and fresh water
