What kind of fish is that? I seen some in my LFS store today and I considered getting it because I'm a girl and it's pretty, but I decided against it obvsly because I know absolutely nothing about them.

It's an indonesian tigerfish aka Microlepis Datnoide. They live in freshwater and will require a minimum tank of 180g 6x2x2ft as adults. Look through the threads and you'll see more info. GL
 
Oh okay, I seen some little datnoids in my LFS but I didn't know what they looked like when bigger. When I seen those today, they were about 3" I wanted one so bad. Oh well, maybe in a few years I'll get some. I'm only at a 75 g right now.

75g is fine for a 3'' for at least 1.5-2 yrs
