without a scientific name, a common name is fairly useless... unfortunately, names go in and out of style, as well as species of fish. Scientific names are the only way to track the fish... although these even have been changed before which makes it even more difficult.

Plecostomus · 12-21-2006, 11:04 PM

yes, it is the normal glass fish at petsmart and other petstores. It matched the description, except for the part about it being an oddball. It doesn't look all that odd to me.
