Introducing the Japanese spiny lumpsucker! This odd and curious fish looks so odd it's cute from the flat forward directed face with inquisitive eyes to it's round lumpy body. It's swimming style is much akin to a drunk helicopter pilot losing control:) they are readily kept in nano tanks in japan and are truly entertaining to watch. These piscine golfballs come in more color than gobstoppers. They eat small crustaceans and can be seen stuck to rocks and other objects using their modified pelvic fins. Thats where the "sucker" came from. I actually hope to have a pair soon. You kinda want one now don't you;-)
