Nice! I've never seen them for sale anywhere before. For that matter, I've never seen them in a home aquarium, either. I've seen them in public aquariums (IIRC the one in Camden, NJ) before, and they're really neat fish

Before I even read a little info about them I have a very similar fish in the tropical waters of far north Aust, especially in the shallow flats and mangrove bays.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

I've seen them sold on occasion in person, and are probably not too hard to get online. Like the batfish, IMO this is one to leave to the public aquariums as adults need a ton of room for their high swimming activity, schooling behavior, and not to mention they're not small fish either.
