I bought this fish and have no idea what it is.
Hey everybody
Today at the pet store I saw a fish that was cool looking and docile enough I wanted to add him to my tank. The guy at the store didn't know what it was so he gave it to me for $6, and so far it seems to get along just fine with my set-up. I have a 55 gal tank with a few parrot fish, a mono, a green severum, a few gourami, and various bottom feeders. If I did this right a picture of the fish should be attached here. Does anyone have any idea what this fish is? Sorry for the poor picture quality. Aquarium Gallery - My Unknown Fish Some further info because the photo is so meh, he has kind of leopard-esque markings and colors, and floats around very carelessly. Any info is a big help. Thank you very much! |

Looks like an african leaf fish. Look at these photos and see if yours look like it.

Re: I bought this fish and have no idea what it is.
Same here, and I would advise against buying fish in the future if you don't know what they are or what their care consists of. Do your research, and it'll help you a lot in the long run!
