A rare sight indeed

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No thats just dust from the substrate. I have a very loose soil for the plants, hence the thin layer of gravel to keep it down.
 
They're NA natives. This species stays pretty small, like 3 inches. Though I did find this pic a while back that made me super jealous...

One species (margined?) gets around 8" but that's the biggest. Google "noturus sp." and you'll be on the trail.
 
He is ugly but makes up for it by being cool fish
 
They are a weather fish too. Low barometric pressure will send them zipping all over the place.
