***************** It says they are out of stock but would love to know what it is for future reference. That is one serious looking fish....

I posted the site, but guess we cannot do that here since it got edited. Just google Bailey Brothers fish and the second site ending in what you catch a fish with is where I saw it.

Butis butis.

Thank You Good Sir!

I guess they really do call it crazy fish cause they swim upside down, hmmm. Is there anything else interesting about this fish besides its looks and upside down swimming? Could this fish work with cichlids as potential tankmates?

It's a type of goby,predatory,they max out at around six inches and can live in all three types of water.

Is this the fish that's also commonly called crocodile fish?

Thank you, wow, that's kinda crazy. They look like they have been on this planet for quite some time...prehistoric looking.

You're welcome and I have seen them in stores from time to time but never bothered getting one as they didn't seem to move much.

LoL, I bought a stonefish some years back that NEVER moved...It took me something like a week to finally realize that he had died...he looked exactly the same dead or alive. I guess some goby like the wait and ambush predation style, which gives them an excuse to hang back and not be active, lol
