Hara jerdoni rescue *UPDATE*

[3fsh]

Well, I don't know if you guys remember his story, but I rescued this little dude from Petsmart a few months back not knowing what the heck he was. With some good adice and internet searching I found out that he was a very rare "Hara jerdoni". I have been feeding him sinking algae wafers, sinking shrimp pellets, and live bloodworms. I finally caught him today and put him into a little plastic holding container to get some decent pictures. His color has actually darkened dramatically... the pictures make him look pretty pale because of the flash. Enjoy!

This last pic is just to show how teensy he is. The plastic circle mold mark next to his body is smaller than a dime.

Wow. I've never seen one of those before. How big do they get?

Lengthwise, he is about the size of two times stacked side by side. Widthwise, however, he is about half the size of a dime (not including fins).
