About 3 weeks ago I noticed this fish in a LFS, it was at the back of their zoa tray. I don't know what it's like in the US but I haven't seen one of these for years in the UK.

The fish was very shy and would flee to the back whenever someone went near the tank. Every time I went into the shop I would look to see if the fish had been sold, but it was always there but it was getting bolder. It wasn't on my stocking list so I kept walking away.
I went into the shop on Friday and the shop owner said 'Hey look at this' and proceeded to hold some flake in his fingers and dipped it into the tank. The fish swam up and began taking the flake from his fingers. I couldn't resist! I bought it, I know, you should never impulse buy BUT just look at it;Drool:)

They're beautiful fish!

We probably do see them a bit more often, here in the 'States, but we don't see 'em any nicer than that one.
