I kept a dragonfish in one of my aquariums for several years. They are the UGLIEST things you've ever seen.

"Dragonfish are so rare that scientists have often been forced to study and describe new species based on a single specimen."
UMMMM....ok. How come PETA and all the envirofreaks aren't out protesting the killing of a rare fish species?

"Jim Craddock, a legend in the deep-sea fish biology field"
There's an epitaph I'd be proud to have!
To: blam
Not good on my conversions, but is 142 mm close to 6 inches? seems rather small!
Eustomias jimcraddocki Sutton & Hartel, a new species of deep-sea dragonfish from the Western North Atlantic. The holotype (shown here), a 142 mm male, was taken at 800 m depth off Georges Bank, July 2002. The fish is named in honor of Dr. James Craddock of W.H.O.I. in recognition of his many contributions to our knowledge of deep-sea fishes. » More about Sutton's research

The freshwater variety don't have those teeth, then? They look docile enough, not like their deep sea cousins!

I wanted to get . . . I wanted EVERYONE to get . . .
