You may be right, except for the juvenile thing. He said he had it for two years and look at it next to that action figure guy in the tank. Looks to be about 6 - 8 inches in that pic. Also, look at the difference in coloring on the flanks and eye color. Could be either one...

What is the full scientific name of this fish? I'm going to do some research on it because I am very intrigued by it.

[SIZE=-1]Nandopsis islantum[/SIZE]
 
Thankfully i now know for sure what he was. *note to self whence room permits add Istlanum.

It was an awesome fish. Jumped out of a bin i was holding him in while i was out. Tried to put him back and he just couldn't come back. Was barely breathing when i finally got home.

ok now was it really a he? or she?

Was it very aggressive? The old male I had was a nasty little bugger. Would go toe to toe with my beani.
