And now for something completely different! I have no further details about this mysterious, yet beautiful looking fish other to say that is really caught my attention when I first saw it. What do you think of the Hybrid Stripe Candy Cane Cookeolus Japonicus?
Note: I highly doubt this would make a good nano fish as it is known to grow upto 2ft in length but average size is usually around a 1ft. More info about Cookeolus Japonicus can be found here.

Here’s another reference, citing Gerald Allen as reference. He calls it the Long-finned Bigeye, Cookeolus japonicus.
