no, unless that fish can be all black except for its whiskers, i just noticed that its under belly is a lighter color than its back and sides, also its size is about 3 inches long (as long as my palm is wide) and about 3/4 inch wide (a little wider than my middle finger), it likes to swim around the tank (60gal).
