    The rarest fish I have seen was probably either a royal plec or a zebra pleco. This was quite some years ago.

    Green tetras are more availible these days, not sure if emerald green is just another name for them.

    guys I really can't describe it right now it was one of the first fish I saw at the breeder and I couldn't buy it so I said ill take his first few for sale and that was it. I then went on to see many many differant fish so getting a good mind picture of it now is hard!

    I can pm anyone the place I saw them at . or the next time I go ill be sure to take a pic .
    sorry

    Marble fresh water moray eels. They look amazing. I went and got one yesterday. The really interesting to watch. They born in fresh water and then move to more brackish waters.
