Thx. Silurus, your opinion is the same to mine. However, I can't find any relevant information on keeping this fish. Would you give me a hand? :?

Thx Caol_ila, its eyes look cloudy or blue 'cos of the blue light above my tank. :D

Couldn't find any info on keeping this species either. However, I expect their husbandry to be no different from that of other <i>Glyptoperichthys</i> species like <i>G. gibbiceps</i>, <i>G. joselimaianus</i> and <i>G. scrophus</i>.

A little less white on the caudal fin, darker color and different size. Otherwise it's the same fish.
