    I was watching TV the other night and there was a show about a fish called a Sea Dragon. Weirdest and most beautiful fish I've seen.

    I actually had one of those when I first started out....VERY VERY difficult to get to eat! I love them, but I wont do one of those again.

    There was some sort of odd looking (but cool) file fish at my LFS recently! It outgrew somebodies tank, and I never knew what kind it was, but it was definatly the most odd shaped fish I had seen.


    The store currently has a lookdown fish in their display tank. It is about the width of a piece of thick paper, and is very big body wise, about 12 inches.
