Bought this labled as 'crazy fish' I have no idea what it is. Neither did they. Looks kind of like a wolf fish, but doesn't have the teeth. I checked at the store with the common wolf fish and this ? This fish has 2 front fins and one under the belly, the wolf fish had 2 side fins and 2 under the belly.
They said it was brackish and a goby?:screwy: I have been to tons of fish stores and I don't think I saw anything like it before expecially not for what I payed.:D
Well here it is....
I can try and get better pics need be. Being quarentined in a 10g and until I find out what it is!

They just seem to do strange things. Swim upside down, ect. Cool fish. It is a predator, so I wouldn't put it with Tetras or anything like that.

Cool, I'm looking up some info on them now. It is in with a spiny eel that I have in its own 10g, kinda small tank for it, but just hides in a cave anyhow so I don't think it minds. Hopefully the little crazy fish doesn't mess with him. 3x its size easy. We don't get these in around here, at least not that I have seen anyhow.

We normally don't get any in our LFS either, although I have seen them online. Stumbled on some information on it one day. That's the only reason I know the fish. Seem how they normally only get to 5 inches they don't need that large of a tank. 20 Gallons, 10 Gallon Minimum.
 
This fish is kind of wierd. He is sitting half way up the glass somehow belly against the glass and not moving a fin to stay there. lol (as I type this.)

That is one of the main things they will do. I didn't know how to explain it... but I guess you soon found out, lol. Any more pics?
