Fish for the Planted AquariumPlanted Aquarium Fish - Discuss which type of aquarium fish are best suited for the aquatic plant environment you have created. Create a natural home for aquarium fish using aquatic plants.
I work at a big lfs in the Netherlands and we received a fish (in a shipment of other fish) we couldn't ID. We sent a picture to the distributor and they told us it was Omobranchus 'zebra', which I'm quite sure it's not!
I found two pictures of Peter Maguire of the same fish, maybe someone can ID the fish for me.

I'd have to say it's some kind of blenny - but I didn't know they came in freshwater varieties! Blennies are fun fish, with a curious, intelligent nature - except for the predatory ones . . .

Cute little fellow!!

It is indeed a blenny and like the omobranchus zebra, it is a brackish specie like we already guesses. It is doing great for over a year in a planted tank however.
