That is a Flying Dutchman quote from SpongeBob lol
I've had this Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse (Wetmorella nigropinnata) for some time now and it's really been a joy. These fish have a reputation for being very shy, but mine has been anything but past the first few days.
A big reason they have such big eyes is because they live in shady cave areas that don't get a lot of light, which makes them a perfect candidate for a Non-Photosynthetic Tank!
I've always wanted one, but what really sold me on it was the Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco actually has one in one of their Twighlight Zone community tanks, and it was super active in that environment. My tank is similar so I knew I had to add one.

His name is 보로로 (Pororo in English) which is the name of a Korean cartoon Penguin I really liked when I was little so since everyone usually names theirs 'Pingu', why not give it another Penguin name lol
Enjoy these photos!

Swee fish and shot.
Pic 2 is my favourite as with the noise abd exposure it shows very well the darker environment the fish lives in...
I l9ve those but didn't get lucky with them 2 times as they didn't make it past shipping.
