That's awesome! I love the little guy. Have 3 now. Two female and a male... each $2 each. You said that's a good deal? What they normally sell for?

I have a couple myself. They are very shy and very nocturnal. Give then plenty of hiding spots. They are very good community fish that won't harm anything that they don't see as a potential meal. Not aggressive and very fun to watch swim around if you catch them doing so. They remind me of tiny bull sharks when they swim around
I bought mine for around $5 each. They aren't rare, but they can be hard to find. I got my first Zamora Cats from Petco. When they died, I didn't see any on the market for over 10 years. I went to a former MFK Vendor's shop to get some P. Polli and he actually had some so I couldn't resist.

I got mine for $6 at 4". He never did anything. He just sat under his log all day and I night he'd get up, eat, go home. They are cool IF you catch them swimming.

I got mine at 2" and put it in my tank 4 mos ago. I just saw him again for the first time two days ago. I thought he had died but apparently he is an excellent hider!!! He is now 3.5" and doing well, comes out every night right after I start feeding.
IME, almost every LFS has them for ~$5. Unfussy eaters. Mine only came out for food every other feeding and even that in dim lighting. The dimmer, the better. A sweet sight to see how they swim, more zoom around like on fire looking for food. I never, ever saw them otherwise.
