    I asked the LFS to get one of these guys and sure enough they did! So today I went down and picked it up. $59.99

    Nothing more to report really.. I released him into the tank and he kinda just slowly swam to the bottom and has been lazily grazing the bottom ever since.

    yeah the non-skinnyness is what I noticed right away too... I pretty much HAD to buy it.

    Judging by the shorter dorsal spine I would say it is a female.

    More pics soon for sure!
