Freshwater Dolphin Fish - Mormyrus longirostris
Also known as the eastern bottle-nosed mormyrid.
As part of the Mormyridae fish family, these fish are not actual "dolphins" but fish that resemble them, hence the name.
Originating from Africa, this Dolphin Fish can be found in Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi and other rivers in the area.
With its body shape and personality, this is a great "oddball fish" for hobbyist!
Size is roughly around 2-3 inches.

Dolphin fish
The fish seems to be healthy and active so far(day 2). Came in at only an inch though, much smaller than expected? But very cool fish.

Great so far
Have the little guy in a 20 right now until he is big enough for his 125. I will post updates on this fish.
