Mystery Fish

[Trina]

I saw this cool fish at the lfs, was about 2" and narrow or 'sword'
like with a totally clear body. You could see a black 'vein' running
the length of it's body. Looked like glass. Had a unique way of
'sitting' in the water, head slightly above tail with little movement.
Anyone know what this lil guy is? Read the name but now forgot (not
all that sure that the lfs has the right name either) and would like
to research them a bit.
TIA!

Sounds like a glass catfish (yes, they swim in midwater).
Checkout the venerable www.planetcatfish.com for
more info.

P.S. Is the signature '44gal/tall/fresh'
your tank or is that you?

Thanks coelacanth! That is them alright.
The signature is my tank specs.. but could be applied to myself also
except for the 44 part as I'm 29, and the tall part cause I'm only
5'3" ;), but I guess I'm tall to my fish..hehe
