Some photos of wild P.

Fredrichsthali Sp. "Cenote Escondido". This is the Freddie that has been observed

"death feigning" to capture prey. Really good looking fish from the Yucutan Peninsula in

Mexico. I have 15 of them...all between two and three inches.

Here's some links to

more information on this fish:
