Thanks in Advance!

How about explaining it as well as the pic?

Might give us more of an idea
 
since the picture didn't come out too well, could you describe it? color, size, etc??

I saw some at Pets at Home in Sheffield, so I'm sure there's one down your way that stocks them

I don't know prices, but these guys prefer a fast moving current and don't get very big.

And they like cool not cold water. You'd never see them in a pond, then when winter comes along, they'd all die.
