This turned up at my LFS, when bought 8 months back he was the size of the baby corys he was with, now he's at about 2.5 inches. Any positive ID?

Hi reginator,
Cool aquisition the fish gods were smilin at you that day.
You could probaly never find B. imitator if you were searching specifically for one. One of those once in a lifetime things, I think.
