Does anybody out there have a Liopropoma aurora (commonly called Aurora or Sunrise or Sunset Basslet) in their tank? Just curious as I can't find much information about them.

Thanks!

They're very rare in the hobby. Not only are they deepwater fish, they don't swim in the open, I assume, making them hard to find. If you locate one it won't be cheap...

He is super shy and only comes out when I toss in some frozen food. He is eating, though, so he will hopefully adjust over time.
