I won 2 sleeper fish - Eleotris pisonis. They're very aggressive and carnivorous. Though, now they're terrified of my blood parrot. I keep them in a large planted tank. They're both juveniles - 5 inches.

I caught them in a swamp roughly 6 miles from my home. There are loads of them there. Like thousands. They're also found in the rivers. I caught a big mouth sleeper in 2006. It was under a rock.
