If you are asking because you've got one, it sounds like you are in position to educate the rest of us (and show the pics) if the ID is correct of course.

It'd be real cool if the ID is right. Are you sure? The PCF datasheet says: Identification: The fish labelled Trachelyichthys decaradiatus in the trade is almost always T. exilis. Expect it to be T. exilis unless you know the fish came from Rupununi in Guyana (and you probably would know, since it was probably collected by you personally or for science, and thus labelled, rather than the aquatic fish-trade which has virtually no exports from this region at present).

The id is correct, jeff is very reputable and the eyes are far enough back
