They don't seem to be very common in stores, so that sounds like a good price to me. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir!

Only when someone mentions the words 'fossil catfish' to me, I think of this fellow ... Corydoras revelatus, which lived 65 million years ago. Yes, that's right, a REAL fossil catfish, and a fossil Cory to boot! Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

There's a bunch of information about it here. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
