I just bought a rather unusual looking fish and I'm not sure what it's name is...I've searched a few pictures on the net and can't seem to find it. It's got a narrow, long body, pale yellowish white with black stripes around the entire fish from nose to tail, fins and tail are clear and it has big black eyes, appears to be a bottom dwealer. I should have written the name down from the pet shop, but unfortunately I didn't...I'm thinking it was something like Leoparinus, but I could be wrong on that. They told me it's semi aggressive and will get about 5-6". Any ideas appreciated.
