Just wanted share some pictures of my Trachycorystes trachycorystes. He is a very cool fish, loves to eat and sleep. I only see him at night but he is awesome. About 14-15 inches or so. Right now he lives with a red oscar and both just ignore each other. The trachy seems to emit a very low grunting noise anytime he is disturbed, mostly when cleaning the tank. Oh yeah...he only has one eye, poor little guy.

When he was still in Peru:

And at his new home in my tank:
