    ok, took more pics last night, but the next size up from what's posted above was still too big. :/ BUT, the LFS thought it had been called a "Culia". So I spent part of my morning at work researching and after going through different spellings of the name I finally found it. It's a Kuhlia Mugil. Here's the link then scroll to bottom Family Kuhliidae, Flagtails, Aholehole

    He'd just given me the fish as it'd been in the LFS for a couple of months. After watching him as a voracious eater and reading more about it I think I'll just take em back lol :)
