excuse my crappy attempt at describing this fish to you via illustration. if i had found this fish online i wouldn't be asking this question. but i was at this mysterious little lfs i never been to before, it had plenty of messed up/ poor condition/ deformed/ sick fish, but some where real oddities! (she had an asian arowana in the back. shhh)
and noticed they were selling these bright-white fish with red eyes and barracuda-like mouths. they were like a cross between a cichlid and the head had the shape of a horses head.
they had kind of a thick lower jaw and thats what caught my attention first of all. i asked the store owner what they were but shes a crazy chinee lady and can't speak much english and she yelled at me saying it was "Hap! 6 DOLLAR!".
i really wanted it but i need more info. they were being kept with baby shovelnose catfish and were all about 3-4". i been there a month before and they were the same size. any help or info?? again, sorry for the crappy attempt to draw the fish. i had to do it entirely off memory.
NOTE: im not even sure i drew them right. but im emphasizing the kinda jaw they had, coupled with my semi-knowledge of fish anatomy.
