    yeah there are about 7 species that are common in the aquarium trade, does it hang on rocks like a pleco, or does it prefer to swim in the open water?

    Sounds like a dwarf lion but at 20cm thats quite big for a dwarf. Its usualy 16cm.
    The world of tropical fish is full of wonder and mystery!
