Ctenopoma argentoventer

I just picked one of these up yesterday and don't know a lot about him. I have done a quick google search and found some things, but not a whole lot.

Does anyone know anything about them? I have found out that they are rare. Should I go back and buy the rest that the lfs has?

not exactly that rare, just not much demand for them. They have about 8 variations I think. Commonly called african leaf fish as the sci name isnt easy to say. Gets to about 6".
From wat Ive kept, pretty peacefull, eats a good variety of frozen and pellet foods. Kind of ides alot if given the setup.
Toyin (Rehoboth Aquatics) usually has a few different ones in.

This is what he looks like.

It also looks close to a ctenopoma ocellatum. I will try and get some pics up this weekend.
