Thanks for the help,

*note*
It doesnt really show well in the pic, but his dorsal is squared off and probably about 2inches long.
Thanks again

I started laughing when I read the notes on C. apurenis. This monster tried to eat a gar almost it's own body length and would not let go until I took it out of the water. That, and it hand feeds like a champ. Good deal. Man, you're fast with the responses!

13" would seem too big for a Frogmouth.

I really wanted only to point out that the two fish mentioned look amazingly alike ... convergent evolution!

Plus, this guy has no protuberenses (sp?). err..fishy got no bumpies...
