Wolf herring?
 
I've had one and never heard of them being marine.Bought and kept it in full fresh.I'd say they are pretty rare in the hobby as the only one I've ever seen,I bought.

Yeah that's what I used and it pretty much ignored everything it couldn't eat.
 
yup my one is wolf herring :) since they don't have adipose fin and got black dot in the end of his body.. same like the picture i have in my HD..
digging some research about this fish

name : Macrochirichthys macrochirus AKA Wolf herring
freshwater species
