A tiny but very nice addition to the fishroom.
Does anyone know why these little beauties are so seldom seen?

There are not many species discussed in the forums that i've never encountered - but this is certainly one of them. What a great little fish this is, & i'm certain i've not seen it in the Uk (that's not to say it hasn't been available here.

The Cat-eLog could surely do with with some additional pictures of this species.

I have some pictures already arrived from Sweden from the importers. More welcome but it needs to wait until I get home from holiday.
