TEMPERAMENT:

COMMENTS:
•   A very unique fish, looks great in a tank, but it needs to be kept with other fish the same size or larger.

•   Slow moving and often just bobbing along with the current this fish truely does look just like a brownish leaf, floating in the water. Unfortunately most other small fishies think so too!, casually swimming by the Leaf fish strikes quickly, opening its articulated jaw wider than you can imagine.

•   My local fish store got one of these fish a few months ago, before they realized it almost every fish in the tank was gone.
