I bought this fish today at my LFS he was listed as a leopard something or other. The guy said he was brackish and mildly aggressive but didn't know too much about him. He was too intriguing to pass up so I grabbed him. Anyone know exactly what he is or have background info on him?

that is a lepord bushfish/climbing perch it is a fresh water antabaniod from west africa . it grows 8 inches long, i dont know about agresion levals of this fish so try googling it.
 
some type of leaf fish. Ctenopoma sp. maby. In the future, you should try and do a little research before buying an unknown fish.
 
Yeah I know I was there to look at dats and scats. Then I saw this guy and couldn't pass him up. The Ctenopoma name is the one I believe was tacked after leopard, I just couldn't remember it.
 
Cool fish though. Nice find. Hope you keep him. You gunnu get him any buddies?
 
Well apparently he's happy and has decided to be a schooling fish since he now schools with the archers and scats. A little strange after reading about their characteristics........
 
It's a Leopard Ctenopoma, again, correct can become 8".

Can be kept in brackish water from what I've read. They have a REALLY huge mouth, so as long as nothings in there that can be swallowed, it won't bother it.
 
Thanks for the info guys. He's turned out to be pretty sweet and the fact that he's brackish compatible is good. I may get one or two more.....
