Given the penchant of some killie people and some livebearer people for ugly
little brown and gray fish, I'm surprised nobody (seemingly) has had them
outside of a laboratory or museum collection.
Pictures portray them as pug-ugly silver. The male reproductive organ looks
like a mutant can opener.
They make you appreciate even the plainest of killies.
All the best!
