Megalodoras uranoscopus

Dave Rinaldo is right on,, the name seems to have chaged for the M.irwini to Megalodoras uranoscopus

here are some pics from a Japanee website:

That fish is sooooooo pretty!!

It's definitely in my good books, unfortunately it gets too big for a regular tank

But I've never seen a fish that cleared The Plague* from a tank in such a short time, even the ones dwelling on the bottom of the sand....
ALL were exterminated within a few weeks and that was only a 7" Megalodoras, although he grew on that diet to 12" in short time.






*The Plague= the dreaded Burrowing Snail or Livebearing Snail or Trumpetsnail or Turretsnail(melanoides tuberculata), aka The Bane, The Curse, The Zillion P*ss-ups; The Evil Ones from Malaysia (that screw up your waterparameters), The Enemy With A Thousand Names or The Vermin

True, they are like living sculptures, amazing beasts. Another one for the dedicated aquarist with a spare 2 cubic metres+ of water to spare.
