| Yes, indeed. They're so far along the ugly scale, they cycle back around to the cuteness scale...  | |

Mary, your briustlenose doesnt look like the ones I have seen in my local shop. Do they all grow the 'wings' when they are bigger? |

No. Mine is a particular type called a Veiltail - a manmade variety which I didn't know about when I got him. He was about 1" long when I got him and only developed the long fins as he matured. I'm not sure if it's really possible to identify this variety when they're juveniles but in my house, he's everyone's favourite fish. JJ (3) calls him the "monster fish". | |
