What oddballs do you all have?

[CFC]

Nope no synos please,i have a syno soloni which as far as i know is very rare but i still wouldn't class it as a oddball,anableps are cool though but ive never heard of a FW species?One of the lfs had some which they claimed were FW but started dying in their tanks almost straight away so obviously wern't goby dragons are good as well i have one in one of my tanks

I've only had mine a few days - he's fine so far (runs to knock on wood) - eating well and swimming around the top like he owned the place I did read up a bit (after I bought him) and my fishie bible says that you can get fresh water ones. I hope he's going to be ok

I have a Black-fin shark. See it here

You decided to keep it then I hope you have the time and money to care for this fish,with proper feeding it will need to go into a brakish set up within around 8 months,catfish dont count as oddballs in my book but since this one has difficult care i suppose it quallifies.

Actually, i am still deciding whether to keep it or not. I just love the fish, he is so beautiful.

Well I had 2 Plectrochilus Erythrurus which are a parasite catfish that is a close relative to the Candiru (Amazon Pee Fish), but they had to be returned to the lfs due to my tank breaking. I also would not have been able to care for them properly as they need to feed off the blood of larger fish (they swim into the gills and bite off a chunk, then feed on the blood until sated...Vampire Cats). Cool fish and from what I could find very rare in the aquarium world, hardly any info on them anywhere that I could find.

I would have kept them and gave them large cichlids to feed on,that would teach them for being aggressive.

I was thinking about plopping a big fat Koi into the tank....keep'em fed for months....although they do feed on those giant catfish in the wild so maybe I missed an excuse to get a 2000 aquarium to house their natural food
