Scientific Name is Asterophysus batrachus. A few years ago they were very rare but recently they have been available. I just been too cheap to buy them lately but I finally got a species tank..

for a second i thought you were talking about guppies and i was like, who doesn't know how to spel guppy?!?!?!? LOL they look pretty mad

They are eating machines. It's weird they don't chase down their prey but they slowly and clumsily swim over and wait, then all of a sudden they open their huge mouth and they swallow fish.
