 I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey everyone, quick update, been super busy working hard. To those of you that know me , you should also know Ive been searching for a Swale Swissguard Basslet for about 3 years or so now and I finally got one. He/She has left quarantine and is now in my MT. Unfortunately anybody that knows anything about these guys also knows they are very shy. Since I put it in yesterday I have seen its head twice for maybe 5 seconds rendering me incapable of taking a picture. I will get pics ASAP. Here is the fish for people who are unfamiliar: Swale's Swissguard Basslet (Liopropoma swalesi)

| Re: I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya Ganrin I saw them but I actually drove down to LA where that website had them and one was dead, the other cpl they had looked bad and they wanted 80 bucks plus they were still going to charge for shipping even tho I was right there. The way I got this lil guy is actually pretty funny. I was taking down a tank in my store and going through all the rock to make sure I got all living animals that may had wedged into the rocks, and sure enough i found this fish wedged in the rock. I had this tank setup since day one and never knew I had it.
