New Bowfins

[vamptrev]

just picked these guys up.

they are very interesting, and would recommend them to everyone.

they are very smart, looking all over the tank for food.

they already ate huge pieces of shrimp and smelt.

hard to get shots because they are so small.

they are about 2 inches but eat like they are 5 inches. u should look into them, they have alot of personality. they are always moving around, and its rely cool how they move just their eyes to look around. most fish move their whole head, with their eyes. i heard they grow fast so we will see.

i bought them for 10 bucks a piece. i was never rely that interested in them, until i picked them up.
